The National Weather Service (NWS) San Francisco Bay Area has issued a Heat Advisory, which will remain in effect for inland portions of the Bay Area and the north Central Coast until 9 PM this evening. Despite the persistent heat inland, relative cooling is occurring due to cloud cover and a few isolated passing showers. High temperatures are expected to gradually return to normal mid-July levels, ranging from the mid-80s to 90s in far inland areas by early to mid-next week. Coastal areas and nearby valleys will experience cooler daytime temperatures due to maritime influence.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.
