A few storms will erupt over Florida and the South, but overall much less thunderstorm activity is forecast for the region, compared to recent days. A zone of high pressure will build at most levels of the atmosphere over the South Central states. As this happens, the amount of sunshine will increase, and heat will build through the week.

The fire in Madera County remained at a little under 2 square miles but had destroyed eight struc- tures and was threatening about 500 homes around Oakhurst, a community of several thousand about 16 miles from a Yosemite entrance, fire and sheriff's officials said. Additional firefighters were brought in to attack the blaze that began a day earlier and was fueled by gusty winds and dry brush, with embers flying ahead up to half a mile. "We're not seeing the fire expand like we thought," Madera County Sheriff John Anderson said. Mandatory evacuation orders were in place for about 1,000 people, and another 4,000 were told to prepare to leave their homes, sheriff's spokes- woman Erica Stuart said. The park was not affected, though State Route 41 toward Yosem- ite was closed. The fire comes amid California's third straight year of drought, creat- ing tinder-dry conditions that have significantly in- creased the fire danger around the state and sent firefighters scrambling seemingly nonstop from blaze to blaze. Evacuated residents in Oakhurst braced for the worst. "There is nothing you can do when a fire is rag- ing," said Clement Wil- liams, 67. "You just have to flee. It's a real sinking feeling." Williams and his wife, Gretchen Williams, 63, were trying to get infor- mation about the fire and their home from officials. They spent the night at a nearby hotel and casino. Oakhurst was smoky, and businesses down- town were closed as the fire burned about a mile away. Flames were not visible from the down- town area as they moved away from town toward a nearby reservoir and re- sort community, state fire spokesman Chris Christo- pherson said. Wes Qualls, 50, was vis- iting Yosemite from Katy, Texas, with his wife and 9-year-old son, but they were cut off from their mo- tel in Oakhurst by the fire. They found a room for the night in a nearby town but planned to cut the trip short. "I was one of the lucky ones," he said. "Some peo- ple spent the night in their cars." The fire comes on the heels of another blaze around Yosemite this sum- mer and last year's Rim Fire, which raged for two months across 400 square miles of land including part of Yosemite National Park. The Rim Fire threat- ened thousands of struc- tures, destroyed 11 homes and cost more than $125 million to fight.
