Fans headed to the O.co Coliseum to catch the Athletics take on the Texas Rangers and Philadelphia Phillies will see ideal baseball conditions with plenty of clear skies for the extended home-stand. With temperatures into the upper 50s as the games progress; however, it may be wise to take an extra jacket.

While clear skies may create an enjoyable atmosphere for baseball and football games in the area, the lack of moisture will continue to create problems for the state, especially for areas where wildfires continue to rage.
On Sunday, the Courtney Fire in Oakhurst, Madera County, forced the evacuations of 1,000 residents according to the Madera County Sherriff's Office. As of 7:50 a.m. PDT Monday, Cal Fire reports that the fire has burned 320 acres and damaged 21 structures with the fire only 20 percent contained. Several schools were also closed.
A much larger fire, the King Fire in El Dorado County, east of Sacramento, is now at 3900 acres and only 10 percent contained. CAL FIRE
reports more than 800 firefighters are working to combat the fire as 500 homes remain threatened.
AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Ken Clark said increasing winds on Wednesday and Thursday could cause problems for firefighters.
With no rain in the projected forecast, relief from the drought plaguing California will have to wait. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, nearly 60 percent of the state is classified in exceptional drought, the highest classification.
