According to Newsweek, The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued flash flood warnings for regions within the Four Corners area as monsoonal thunderstorms intensify. The warnings apply to portions of southwestern Colorado, northwestern New Mexico, southeastern Utah, and northeastern Arizona, where heavy rainfall is anticipated through Friday. This increases the risk of localized flash flooding, particularly in areas with burn scars—lands previously scorched by wildfires.

Flash floods are no joke, and this time, Dolly Parton's beloved Tennessee-based theme park, Dollywood, had to suffer the consequences. On Sunday, July 28, a strong thunderstorm surprised park visitors, causing a scary flash flood. Multiple areas of the park quickly filled with water, and videos shared online by park visitors themselves show gushing canals of muddy water rising up to their ankles and, at times, their calves."Careful!" says a park visitor and a TikTok poster, visually summarizing the situation. In the video, park visitors are allegedly walking towards the exit while fast currents of water run over their feet. Towards the end, one clip shows the conditions of the parking lot, where some cars are partially submerged.

As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

The cutoff low pressure system that made its north through New England Monday night into Tuesday morning. This combined with a very moisture-rich atmosphere and the slow moving nature of the system led to intense showers and storms surviving well into the overnight hours. Storm training, when multiple storms move over the same area, set up across northeast Vermont. This led to a rather extreme amount of rain to fall in a very short period of time. We'll go into more detail on the setup of this storm in a later post.
