Two --- Crews are slowly making progress in battling California's largest wildfire of the year. The Madre Fire started Wednesday afternoon and has burned nearly 80-thousand acres. It’s about 30 percent contained. The fire has prompted highway closures in San Luis Obispo County along with evacuation orders and warnings.
And number three — What's left of Tropical Storm Chantal is dumping heavy rain in the Carolinas as it moves north after making landfall.
