Portions of Texas and the northern Gulf Coast are on alert for the potential for severe weather this week from a powerful cross-country storm that's expected to dump heavy snow in the Southwest and Rockies.
The FOX Forecast Center said that as the slow-moving storm system continues to slide off to the east, it will pull in warm and humid air, which will allow for strong to severe thunderstorms to fire up across Central Texas starting Wednesday night.
Winter weather alerts are in effect for portions of New Mexico and Colorado as a powerful cross-country storm gains strength on its journey across the U.s., and now the Denver metro is on alert for potential impacts.
As of Wednesday morning, snow is continuing to fall in Arizona's higher elevations, while some rain is falling at the lower elevations. Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for portions of New Mexico and Colorado, which are next up to feel the winter storm's wrath.
The snow is expected to pick up in coverage and intensity by Wednesday evening, and Denver is now on alert for potential impacts.
Officials with the Shreveport Aquarium recently announced the unusual birth of a swell shark pup in a tank where only two female sharks were present.
Named "Yoko" from the Chumash word "onyoko," meaning "shark," the pup was born on Jan. 3. It hatched out of an egg that was discovered by the aquarium's husbandry team about eight months ago.
Aquarium officials noted that the two females in the tank with Yoko had not been contacted by a male swell shark in more than three years.

Fairmont State hosts housing fair for those displaced by Sunday's flooding
Jun. 19—FAIRMONT — Bella, a demure border collie mix, is a proper lady. The polite pup always lets people know when she needs to go outside. That's why Teresa Snyder was surprised when she saw the water on the floor. "Bella, that's not like you, girl, " Snyder remembered saying. Then she saw the actual source—water was coming in under her door. When she looked in the hallway, she saw it pouring down the walls, which she was trying to process, just as her ceiling began giving way at the same time. "We had to get out of there, " said Snyder, who lived on the ground floor of Fairmont Village Apartments. "The whole place was coming down all around us." Water on the flat roof of the apartment was pooling so fast — it rained about three inches in 30 minutes — that the resulting pressure from the build-up caused a back wall to blow out. The sloped parking lot wasn't much better. Call it a fish bowl laced with white-water rapids, said Snyder's friend, Van Clark. "I know it was at five feet, " Clark said. "Yeah, and I don't swim, " Snyder added with a shiver. Clark made sure an agitated Bella was secure on her leash as he hoisted Snyder to a window. She suffered bruises and cuts to her feet that required a tetanus shot for good measure. "Well, we were lucky and we know it was worse for a lot of other people, " she said. "I feel bad for them. It's a tragedy." Snyder was referring to Ohio County in the Northern Panhandle, which was hit harder than Fairmont and Marion County. The storm that raged Saturday night to the north unspooled in north-central West Virginia the next day. To date, eight people have died in the Ohio County floods. Gov. Patrick Morrisey declared a state of emergency for both counties earlier this week, saying disaster relief from the Federal Emergency Management Agency is on its way. Hopefully, the governor said. Which was why, in part, that Snyder, Clark and Bella, too, were waiting at the Fairmont State University Falcon Center student union on Thursday afternoon. The university was hosting a housing fair for displaced Fairmont Village residents. Representatives of the state Housing Development Fund and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development were there, along with the West Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness. Tygart Valley United Way had a table and a computer terminal, as did the American Red Cross and the Marion County Emergency Operations Center. The idea, said Brian Selmeski, Fairmont State's chief of staff, is to get people back under a permanent roof, while launching the paperwork so that can eventually happen. A Fairmont State social worker was also there to help those residents who were roiled emotionally by the deluge. In the hours after Sunday's storm, the university opened part of the Falcon Center for emergency lodging. That shelter will remain open for as long as needed, Selmeski said. "We're here for our community, " the chief of staff said. "This is what we're supposed to be doing." As people were still queuing up, more heavy rain could be witnessed on the other side of the large glass windows of the complex Thursday. Rain lashed and trees were bent by the brief storm that blew through campus. "Yeah, I hope that doesn't get too interesting, " one man said.

2 tornadoes touched down in Indiana on June 18, NWS says. Here's where
Two tornadoes touched down near Lafayette as part of a line of storms that swept across several states June 18, the National Weather Service's Indianapolis office has concluded. The strong thunderstorms that knocked out power across Indiana the afternoon of June 18 spawned two EF0 tornadoes west and northwest of Lafayette as they skipped along a path across much of Tippecanoe County, the NWS said June 19. Most of the damage in the county was from straight-line winds, but the two tornadoes damaged trees and caused minor damage to two houses, according to the weather service. The tornadoes were a third to half a mile in length with estimated maximum winds of 75-80 mph, the NWS said.
