Early morning fire burns down barn in Black Forest
(BLACK FOREST, Colo.) — Black Forest Fire and Rescue reported that crews from multiple agencies responded to an outbuilding fire a little after midnight on Snow Mass Drive between Black Forest Road and Herring Road, in which a barn burned down in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 17.
According to CSFD, around 12:15 a.m., crews from Black Forest Fire and Rescue, Monument Fire Protection District, Falcon Fire Department, Cimarron Hills Fire Department, and Peyton Fire Protection District responded to the fire after the glow in the sky was visible from Station 2.
When the crews arrived in the area, they searched for the fire and a way to access it. Once they found the correct location, a supply line was laid from the entrance to the driveway. Crews discovered a 40×40 ft. barn fully engulfed in flames, already having collapsed to the ground.
Crews coordinated the water supply utilizing several vehicles and lines to knock down the fire and begin mop-up operations, working for about three hours before finishing.
All people and animals were safely evacuated, and no injuries were reported.

NOAA Warns of an 'Above-normal Hurricane' Season This Year With 19 Projected Storms—What Travelers Should Know
With the 2025 hurricane season officially kicking off, experts are sounding the alarm that this year could bring the "strongest" of potential storms. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently published its annual forecast for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, and the data shows a 60 percent chance of an above-normal season. As part of the forecast, the agency predicts as many as 19 named storms, including five major storms that are category three or higher, according to the report. 'This hurricane season also features the potential for a northward shift of the West African monsoon, producing tropical waves that seed some of the strongest and most long-lived Atlantic storms,' the NOAA report details. The good news is that as of June 5, the NOAA forecasters have not seen any potential tropical cyclone formation within the next seven days, however the situation could change at any time. NOAA also recently introduced the names for the 2025 season. Andrea, Barry, and Chantal will be the first three names of the season. Additional storm names include Dexter, Jerry, Karen, Van, and Wendy. "Season forecasts are hedging toward a slightly busier than average hurricane season,' Matt Sitkowski, The Weather Channel's science editor-in-chief, shared in a statement to Travel + Leisure. 'Atlantic Basin ocean temperatures are largely warmer than average and strong upper-level winds, which can limit tropical storm development, are not forecast to be significantly stronger than usual.' Sitkowski advises all residents in hurricane-prone areas to carefully prepare now, as it just takes one storm to have devastating results. Experts advise it is helpful to prepare a first aid kit and obtain backup medications in advance of any named storm. Most importantly, forecasters encourage people to stock up on fresh water, which can be used for drinking, cleaning, and medical needs such as washing a cut or injury. "One gallon, per person, per day, for as much as seven days," Weather Channel hurricane expert Rick Knabb previously shared in a hurricane preparation segment. The guidance also encourages people to stock up on medications, water, and food for pets as well. As for travelers, they should stay on top of hurricane news especially for destinations that are typically vulnerable and consider looking into travel insurance.

The storms have moved to the southeast, and North Texas is looking at a quieter day ahead. Morning temperatures near 70 will warm into the mid-to-upper 80s Monday afternoon as skies begin to break up. Another disturbance could bring showers and a few storms to the southwest early Tuesday morning.

Pittsburgh area to see afternoon storm chances on Monday
The Pittsburgh area is set to see stormy weather late Monday afternoon. We have one more stormy day before we get some relief from the storms. Unlike yesterday, most of today will be dry. Storm chances should hold off until after 5 p.m. this afternoon, but everyone should see rain and storms after 5 p.m. but before 9 p.m. as a line of severe weather rolls through. All forms of severe weather are on the table, including strong winds, large hail, and even tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center has a large part of our area under a slight (level 2 out of 5) risk for severe weather. Before 5 p.m., today will be a little humid with dew points hovering near 60 degrees. Winds will be out of the southwest at around 10 mph this afternoon. We will start the day off with sunny skies for sunrise, with sunny skies sticking around through around 9 a.m. It should be partly cloudy through 1 p.m., and then mostly cloudy for the rest of the day. Noon temperatures will be in the mid-70s. Highs today should hit 80 degrees, and it wouldn't be surprising if we briefly hit maybe 82 degrees just ahead of the storms. On top of stormy weather, we will also have a chance for flash flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has placed part of our area under a slight (level 2 out of 4) risk of flash flooding today, with a fairly high 40 percent chance. It will not take much rain at all for us to see flooding breaking out. Please be aware that flooding is the biggest risk when it comes to human safety, with more people dying of flooding than any other severe weather type. Besides perhaps a little rain falling just after midnight, we begin a dry stretch of weather on Tuesday, with us likely being dry Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Rain and a severe weather risk look to return on Saturday. Highs on Tuesday will hit the mid-70s, and it will be very comfortable. Wednesday highs will be near 80 with another comfy day expected.
