YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — The West Coast’s summer has been interrupted by an unusually cold system from the Gulf of Alaska that dropped down
Visitors bundle up as temperatures drop ahead of a storm at the Palisades Tahoe Ski Resort, Friday, Aug. 23, 2024, in Olympic Valley, Calif. YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — The West Coast’s summer has been interrupted by an unusually cold system from the Gulf of Alaska that dropped down through the Pacific Northwest into Northern California.
While the start of ski season is at least several months away, the hint of winter was welcomed by resorts. Despite the expected precipitation, forecasters also warned of fire danger because of gusty winds associated with the passage of the cold front. The fire became California’s fourth-largest on record, but it has been substantially tamed recently. Islands of vegetation continue to burn within its existing perimeter, but evacuation orders have been canceled.
