Mix of Sun & Clouds and Hazy Today, Hurricane Season Begins!
TODAY:We're starting out with lots of sunshine, although some high-altitude smoke from the wildfires in Canada are making things look hazy. Today, we'll see a mix of sun and clouds with that haze with highs in the mid 80s.
THIS WEEK:Monday through Wednesday, we'll remain dry with lots of sunshine and highs near 90°. The haze sticks around for Monday and Tuesday, but as the winds change, we lose the haze but bring back the moisture. With that said, rain chances return by Thursday, although the chances will be quite slim. However, rain chances will increase slightly as we head into the weekend, with isolated showers on Friday and Saturday, and scattered showers and storms on Sunday. Highs each day will be in the upper 80s to near 90.
HURRICANE SEASON BEGINS:Hurricane season begins today and right now things are quiet across the Gulf, Caribbean, and Atlantic Basin. According to NOAA, there's a 60% chance of an above average season as they predict 13-19 named Storms, 6-10 hurricanes, and 3-5 major hurricanes. On average, there are 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes per season. There is some indication of tropical formation 10-14 days out, but for now, things are quiet.

Detroit community activists step in to help those impacted by Job Corps closure
Hundreds of young people in the Detroit Job Corps received a message on Thursday, May 29, that the program would be closed on June 30. On Friday, they were then told they actually only had until 2 p.m. to pack up and get out, leaving many stunned and concerned for what's next. "They were in tears, they were crushed," said Terrance Willis, chairman at 12th Street Community Development Corporation. "This is heartbreaking, this is inhumane," said Detroit community activist, Pastor Mo. The federal government announced an immediate operational pause of the Job Corps program late last week, shocking hundreds of young adults. "They thought they were on a positive track, and then all of a sudden, they don't know what the next day is going to hold, so yeah, it's devastating," said Willis. Job Corps helps at-risk youth ages 16 to 24 improve their lives through vocational and academic training while also providing free education, housing, meals, and healthcare. Without this program, many would not have a career path or shelter. Pastor Mo spoke about one young man and his struggling homeless mother. "Put her son in Job Corps to get him out of her car, but when it shut down, it put the son back in the car, and his roommate, that didn't have anybody, she's taking him in, and we're trying to find her housing right now," he said. The story is one of many in the Detroit area. But the federal government says it made these cuts after an internal review of the program's outcomes. "A startling number of serious incident reports and our in-depth fiscal analysis reveal the program is no longer achieving the intended outcomes that students deserve," said Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer. Pastor Mo says while he understands the program may need some improvements, he rejects the government's message and sudden closure of the Job Corps. "They're judging the corps by some statistics and some numbers. Sometimes, numbers don't tell the whole story," he said. He says that he, along with multiple others in Detroit, has been paying out of pocket to help some of those affected live in hotels while they find more permanent housing and careers.

Alarming video shows dog being dragged from minivan on Chicago's Eisenhower Expressway
Video was posted online showing a dog being dragged behind a car along a busy Chicago expressway overnight Sunday into Monday — and police and animal rights advocates want to know if it is a case of animal neglect or cruelty. The scene played out on the outbound lanes of the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290). Video showed a dog on a leash being dragged by a minivan. The video started at Independence Boulevard and continued past Kostner Avenue. All the while, people waved, yelled, honked their horns, and did anything possible to help the dog in clear distress. "He was just being swept along a highway at high speeds," said Jodie Wiederkehr of the Chicago Alliance for Animals. "So the injuries, the road rash, would be too severe to survive." Like so many, Wiederkehr was in disbelief upon watching the video. "It was very hard to watch," she said. "My heart sank. If the animal survived, it will likely have to be euthanized." CBS News Chicago reached out to Illinois State Police, who said not a single call came into 911 Sunday night about the dog swinging from the van. "That's critical," Wiederkehr said. "If you see a crime, it's very important to try to document it — but it's also critical to call 911 and report it." Back in February, someone spotted another dog in an empty trailer in the freezing elements heading down the Borman Expressway (I-80/94) in Northwest Indiana. That driver did more than record — he called police. The dog in that case was rescued after being abandoned in Gary. Indiana State Police arrested and charged the driver. "They need to be taught if you harm other beings, that you have severe consequences," Wiederkehr said. As Illinois State Police looked into the case Monday night, it remained unclear whether the dragging of the dog was intentional or an accident. But the alliance said there is no way any driver would not know they were dragging something. "A dog might only be 40 or 50 pounds, but you're going to feel that bumping — you know, that dog hitting the concrete over and over again," said Wiederkehr. "It was intentional." Late Monday, Illinois State Police were still looking for the driver. The video of the incident has been shared with state police. Unfortunately, it was not known late Monday how the dog was doing. But the video made clear the animal suffered severe injuries.

Mother thanks Mass. troopers who escorted her through Boston traffic to give birth
Boston traffic is never fun, but it's even more stressful if you are in labor and rushing to the hospital. That was the case for a Winchester, Massachusetts family who were worried they wouldn't make it in time. "I commute on 93 south typically, so I know what the commuter traffic is like. I always joked with [my husband], 'can you imagine if I went into labor between 8-9 a.m.?'" recalled Callie Arora. And as fate would have it, that's when little Georgie Arora decided his birthday would be. Just a few weeks ago, his parents jumped in the car for Brigham and Women's and as the contractions got worse, so did their ETA. Troopers save couple more than an hour The couple called 911, hoping they might get permission to use the breakdown lane, saving a few minutes. Instead, troopers from the Massachusetts State Police pulled up, ready to safely escort the family all the way there, saving more than an hour. "This has never happened to me before. Our main goal was to get to the hospital as fast as we possibly could," said Trooper Jordon Ramos, who just graduated from the academy last fall. Trooper Jordon Ramos, Romie, Callie and Georgie Arora, and Trooper Clayron De Los Santos. CBS Boston "Got her a wheelchair, had her sit down, and from there they walked into the hospital, and we just went back to work," said Trooper Clayron De Los Santos, a dad of two himself. Georgie arrived safely a short time later. A family friend asked WBZ for help finding the troopers so they could say thank you. "Really positive birth experience" "It made it a really positive birth experience. I was really scared being on the highway being in pain and thinking that we might not make it. The nurses said it's a really good thing you got here when you did and I have them to thank for that," Callie said, with her husband Romie. "It's a plus on this job. When we get to see the outcome and it's a positive outcome. My biggest thing is I love to help out," Trooper De Los Santos added. Now the Aroras are home, happy and healthy, and life is good. "It is so good. He's a great baby. He's happy and healthy. He has his older brother who loves him so much. We're really lucky," the mom said sweetly.
