The #FairviewFire, a wildfire raging near Hemet, has burned 27,463 acres and is only 5% contained as of Friday morning.

Fire officials worry strong winds and storms from Tropical Storm Kay could further intensify California’s largest blaze of the year.

The incoming storm could dump rain on the fire — which would greatly help firefighting — but the system could also remain east of the flames, which would instead blow major winds toward the wildfire.

Cal Fire officials warned the fire would “continue to spread in all areas” because of the storm from Tropical Storm Kay bringing shifting winds.

“We’re still dealing with extreme winds,” Cordova said. “Our biggest concern is this weather system.”

Parts of Riverside County are under a flood watch and high-wind warning Friday, with gusts getting up to 70 mph in the mountains. The threat of flooding is extended through Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service.

Almost 24,000 people from Hemet to Temecula are under evacuation orders as the Fairview fire continues to spread, growing almost 4,000 acres since Thursday evening, Cal Fire Capt. Richard Cordova said.

His Fall 2020 collection took aim at the ways we adopted a freelancer-type mentality in the pandemic. Fleece-lined cargos anchored a Comfort Zone capsule, designed for maximum coziness from outside to inside. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
Conceived while he moved from coast to coast, pieces from Lost & Found featured thrifted vintage fabrics and heavy wools and knitwears representing the security and stability that emerged through his travels. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…

Illegal cannabis’ thorniest challenges fall on overwhelmed local law enforcement agencies and code enforcement departments, ill-equipped to contend with criminal networks behind the growth.

Thread ⬇️ latimes.com/california/sto… Mendocino County Sheriff Matt Kendall looks from a distance
The rugged forests and valleys of Mendocino County, deep in the heart of California’s famed Emerald Triangle, renowned for the quality and quantity of its weed production, have an estimated 5,000 illegal cannabis farms. latimes.com/california/sto…
The grows range from homestead farms to dangerous drug-trade operations, such as one where deputies this spring found an AK-47 modified for full-automatic fire. latimes.com/california/sto…

“There will always be fans who claim baseball hasn’t changed in 150 years so why change now?” says baseball historian John Thorn. “This is anti-historical.”

.@MLB's attendance and TV ratings are dipping. Meanwhile, @TheSavBananas are packing ballparks, playing by their own unique rules.

Banana Ball is meant to be fun — and they might have some solutions for the big leagues. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
.@TheSavBananas' "Banana Ball" rules seem odd: No bunting or mound visits, "sudden death" baseball play and fan "outs."

@MLB likely won't go this route, but what can Banana Ball rules teach the major leagues? latimes.com/sports/story/2…
