Happy first day of August, I hope you are looking forward to our last month of meteorological summer. The heat that’s been cooking the region over the last couple of days is expected to last through tomorrow as this center of high-pressure system sitting in the Great Plains continues to bake the region. Heat advisories have been issued for Southern Mississippi and Southern Louisiana, while excessive heat warnings have been issued for areas north of Jackson, Mississippi, as well as the New Orleans Metro area. These weather statements are in effect through at leat Friday evening. By this weekend, a mid-level trough is expected to increase our rainfall chances, but due to the high-pressure system, only slight cooling is expected.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Happy last day of July, I hope that this was a great month for you. As you are quite aware, we have had quite a cool and wet last couple of weeks, but now a pattern change has taken hold, bringing us drier conditions and above-normal temperatures. A large ridge of high pressure has taken hold of the Central U.S., bringing with it scorching temperatures. Heat advisories and excessive heat warnings have been issued for our region. I expect that the above-average temperatures will last through the rest of this week, with a slight cooldown expected by the weekend. Looking at the tropics, we are keeping a very close eye on a possibly developing system that may cause impacts to the United States.
