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.

Jackson, MS

It’s been quite wet for the region for the last couple of days, and this trend is only supposed to continue for the next several days, thanks to a stationary front that has stalled to the northwest of our area. Although this front is keeping temperatures mild for summertime, this upper-level disturbance is packing a ton of moisture with it. Unfortunately, due to a large area of high pressure in the Atlantic Ocean, this area of disturbance is not expected to move for the next several days, bringing rounds and rounds of showers and thunderstorms. The good news of this high-pressure system is that it keeps tropical weather activity at bay.
