Hello there. Thanks for reading this national forecast report for August 11th, 2024; there is a lot to discuss in this discussion. If you have been paying attention to the weather news recently, you may have seen that Hurricane Debby caused severe flooding in the Southeast. Well, for parts of the Carolina coast, more rainfall is expected through tomorrow, adding to the flooding situation. Moving further southwest, heat is expected to inundate parts of the Southern Plains and the Florida-Georgia border. Moving westwards now, the four corners regions should expect numerous thunderstorms, thanks to the seasonal monsoonal moisture. Looking further north, parts of the Innermountainwest are experiencing drier than average weather, leading to wildfire concerns for the region.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

Aurora, CO

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
