Firefighters are positioned to help support the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. Teams are stationed in Atlanta, Georgia; College Station, Texas; Florida; and Jackson, Mississippi.
Weather Discussion: A low pressure system will swing inland over California today for a chance of mostly dry thunderstorms over northern California, southern Oregon and western Nevada. Wetter thunderstorms will occur over portions of southern California, southern Nevada and southern Utah. Otherwise, look for very warm and dry weather to continue over much of the West.
