Hot spell and gusty storms create fire danger across Colorado
The combination of near record heat, extremely low humidity and dry, gusty thunderstorms will create a fire danger situation for more than half of the state on Thursday. Our near record heat wave continues into Thursday with lots of highs over the Eastern plains and Western Slope rising into the 90s and 100s! While at the same time relative humidity levels will be super low for the second half of the week with the drier and hotter air moving in. At the same time there is just enough moisture flowing in from down south that high-based dry, gusty storms are expected to form late in the day. These types of t-storms don't drop much rain but, do create gusty winds and lightning. As a result, a RED FLAG WARNING is posted for all of the Western Slope, Colorado Mountains and the Front Range Foothills from noon thru 10 pm on Thursday. Friday will have a chance at a few more t-storms with a little more rainfall. But, not enough to wipe out the fire threat. There is a FIRE WEATHER WATCH in place for all of the Western Slope on Friday.

Storm damage disrupts non-emergency dispatch calls in south Chicago suburbs
Damage from storms this week disrupted the non-emergency dispatch line and some other services in four south Chicago suburbs, but 911 emergency services were unaffected. Spokesman Sean Howard said the non-emergency line and medical and fire alarm signals have been disrupted at the SouthCom Emergency Dispatch Center. The south suburbs of Matteson, Olympia Fields, Park Forest, and Richton Park were affected. But all 911 emergency services remain fully operational, and Howard wrote that there is no risk to public safety. Anyone experiencing an emergency should call 911. Emergency crews were working late Wednesday to restore all communication services. An update will be provided Thursday morning.
