May & June rainfall totals above average
(SOUTHERN COLORADO) — We continue our streak of storms in the forecast, but some Southern Coloradoans might wonder if this amount of moisture is rare for our area. The long streak of stormy weather started in May. Even though it seemed like a lot of water, according to records from the National Weather Service, May 2025 did not even make it to the top five, 10, or even top 15 for rainiest Mays. Out of all the Mays on record since the 1800s, May 2025 is the 28th wettest May on record in Colorado Springs. However, 2023 is a different story, where we actually saw the third wettest May on record with 5.22 inches of rain and multiple days of flooding. As we head into the middle of June, we have more rain on average in Colorado Springs than in Pueblo. So far, the Springs has seen half an inch or more than we normally see for this month in water. So, relatively, the month of June so far has been wetter than average. For the year of 2025 so far, Colorado Springs is sitting at just over an inch more than the area normally sees for this time of year. However, Pueblo is still falling more than half an inch behind for this time of year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

People Urged to Keep Windows Closed Overnight Wednesday in One State
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Canadian wildfire smoke has returned to Minnesota, prompting state officials to issue an air quality alert urging residents across the state to keep their windows closed overnight on Wednesday. "The upper-level pattern is certainly keeping it in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest," National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Prediction Center senior meteorologist Brian Hurley told Newsweek. Why It Matters Over the past few weeks, wildfire smoke from Canada has descended into the U.S. and worsened the air quality in some states. Among them, Minnesota has been on high alert, with residents advised to monitor themselves for symptoms such as coughs if they are exposed to the polluted air. Much of the smoke moved out of the region on Tuesday, but is now returning to the area behind a cold front. What To Know People in central, southern, southwestern, north-central and west-central Minnesota are affected by the alert. The presence of smoke could affect sensitive populations such as children, older adults, those with lung disease, asthma and heart disease. People in those risk categories are urged to limit prolonged outdoor exertion. Officials also asked those in the affected areas to keep their windows closed overnight Wednesday to help prevent smoke from entering homes. A stock photo shows closed windows.

"Reduce vehicle trips and vehicle idling as much as possible," the alert also said. As of Wednesday evening, air quality alerts also were issued in Montana, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. What People Are Saying Hurley also told Newsweek: "[The air quality alert in Minnesota] is only going through midnight Thursday, but I do wonder if they are going to see it go on a little longer." An air quality alert issued for Minnesota: "Smoke from wildfires in northwest Canada has moved into west central Minnesota behind a cold front. This smoke is beginning to mix to the ground and fine particle levels have climbed into the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups AQI category across central and southern Minnesota. This smoke will linger along a frontal boundary that will stall over the southern part of the state. Rainfall is expected across this same region through Thursday and this may help reduce smoke levels in some areas. However, it's possible this smoke may linger through the end of the day on Thursday." What Happens Next Smoke could persist through Friday. It's also possible the smoke will continue worsening air quality for the immediate future depending on weather patterns, wind direction and how long the fires burn.

Missed the Strawberry Moon last night? Here's where, when to see it tonight in Illinois
Many people across the country photographed the Strawberry Moon this morning, watching as the moon reached its peak at 2:44 a.m. CT. But don't worry if you missed it – the phenomenon will still be partially visible tonight. Avid skywatchers can also spot the Milky Way, the "bright central bulge of our galaxy," writes NASA, which should be visible through August. Here's what stargazers in Illinois should know. Tuesday, June 10, 2025, into Wednesday early morning hours is when the sweet Strawberry Moon was at its fullest, but it'll still appear mostly full Wednesday night. The moon's phases in June are: 🌓 First Quarter: June 3 🌕 Full Moon: June 11 🌗 Last Quarter: June 18 🌑 New Moon: June 25 June's Strawberry moon will be the lowest full moon in roughly 20 years, so look closer toward the horizon. Experts say the moon's low arc should give it a more yellowish or orange tint. Story continues after photo gallery. The reason the moon will appear lower is because the Earth is in the midst of "a major lunar standstill," writes EarthSky, which has to do with the moon's orbit around the Earth. "It's all about the inclination of the moon's orbit, which undergoes an 18.6-year cycle," writes EarthSky's John Jardine Goss. "The cycle happens because the moon's orbit is being slowly dragged around — mostly due to the pull of the sun — every 18.6 years." The last major lunar standstill occurred in 2006. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, moonrise for the Peoria area will happen by roughly 9:28 p.m. Wednesday, June 11, crossing the meridian at 12:52 a.m. before setting at 5:12 a.m. Thursday. You can check moonrise and moonset times for your zip code by visiting the Old Farmer's Almanac online. Skies in central Illinois are expected to be partly cloudy Wednesday night, June 11, with a low of around 64 and winds around 7 mph, according to an advanced forecast from the National Weather Service. Similar to the Pink Moon, June's Strawberry Moon takes its name from seasonal plant growth, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Many ripening berries were ready to be harvested around this time in the northeastern United States. Other names for June's full moon from Native American tribes include the Birth Moon, Hot Moon, Blooming Moon, and the Green Corn Moon. The Milky Way can best be viewed somewhere far away from bright city lights. Find a dark, safe spot out in the country where you can see more stars in the sky. State parks and campgrounds are your best bet for clear stargazing, in locations such as Campsite 26 at Apple River Canyon State Park and the Area 4 Parking Lot at Iroquois County State Wildlife Area. A full list of the best stargazing spots in Illinois can be found on the Department of Natural Resources website. For those in Chicago, stars will be more visible on the city lakefront, the Palos Preserves in Willow Springs and the 606 Trail at 1801 N. Ridgeway, according to a list compiled by the Adler Planetarium. If you plan on observing the night sky this month, writes NASA, keep the following dates in mind for June 2025: June 16, 17 – Mars & Regulus – Mars passes closer to the bright bluish-white star Regulus, known as the "heart" of the lion constellation, Leo. They will appear about as far apart as the width of the full moon, and should be easy to spot with binoculars or a small telescope. June 19 – Moon & Saturn – The third-quarter moon appears right next to Saturn on Thursday morning in the hours before dawn, according to NASA. They rise in the east together at around 1:30 a.m. June 20 – June Solstice – The summer solstice is on June 20 in the northern hemisphere, tilting its maximum toward the Sun. This means the Sun will travel its longest, highest arc across the sky all year, writes NASA, resulting in the longest period of daylight for those north of the equator. June 21-30 – Mercury becomes visible – For those with a clear view to the western horizon, Mercury becomes visible for a brief period each evening at the end of June. Look for it to appear low in the sky starting 30 to 45 minutes after the Sun sets. June 22 – Moon & Venus – Venus rises this morning next to a slender and elegant crescent moon. Look for them in the east between about 3 a.m. and sunrise. All month – Mars: The Red Planet can be observed for a couple of hours after dark all month. It is noticeably dimmer than it appeared in early May, as Earth speeds away in its orbit, putting greater distance between the two worlds. All month – Milky Way core: The bright central bulge of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is visible all night through August. It is best observed from dark sky locations far from bright city lights, and appears as a faint, cloud-like band arching across the sky toward the south.
