This area of precipitation is expected to stay out over the lake until it passes east of the Finger Lakes.

Good Friday evening, everyone! I hope you all had an amazing workweek. Heading into next week, a large troughing pattern will move in for the eastern half of the country, allowing some of us to get a break from this summertime heat. Unfortunately, this is not the case out West as ridging will dominate and continue to bring above-average temperatures. Overall, this pattern across the U.S. typically limits precipitation, so don’t be surprised if your area stays dry for at least a couple of days in a row.

(We've swapped out the shortening as well!) To take it a step further, you can also toast the coconut and pecans for enhanced nuttiness. Here's what you'll need for about 18 cookies:

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

Good morning everyone. The Northeast is enjoying some fine summer weather as high pressure dominates, and that pesky stationary front is now well to your south. Things are looking very warm to hot, with low humidity until Monday. That's when the juice returns and you'll have a chance of a PM T-storm each day. Until then, enjoy this break because I feel it's going to be a busy 1st and 2nd week of August.

The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
