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.

Beryl's remnants will be lifting through the Great Lakes Region today. This will lift a warm front through New England during the day. This warm front will likely slow down or even stall out across central Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine due to an approaching cold front from Canada. This front will provide the focus for a swath of heavy rainfall, where multiple inches of rain will be possible. Areas north and south of this front will see lesser rainfall. Areas south may also see some strong to severe storms in the warm sector.

Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

We often run across people in our lives who either have a natural healing and calming energy to them and those who seem bent on ruining everything you set out to do whether they mean to or not. Astrology offers a complex and nuanced understanding of personality traits associated with each zodiac sign, attributing both positive and negative aspects to individuals' characters. Among these characteristics, some signs are often hailed for their healing abilities, bringing comfort, peace, and rejuvenation to those around them. Conversely, other signs may possess more destructive tendencies, challenging relationships and personal growth. This article explores the zodiac signs that are traditionally considered the most healing and the most destructive, offering insights into the dual nature of certain astrological influences.

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.
