Crews working to fix major water main break on Hudson Drive in Stow
Crews are working Saturday afternoon to fix a major water main break on Hudson Drive in Stow.
City crews are working to quickly fix the issue, according to a news release from the city. Water service is temporarily shut off to homes in the Hudson Drive and Chestnut Drive area while repairs continue.
Water pressure was temporarily low in other portions of the city but has returned to normal, according to the city.
'We understand how disruptive water service interruptions can be and appreciate the community's patience as our team works to resolve the issue,' Stow Mayor John Pribonic said in a prepared statement.
The city will post updates on its website, stowohio.org, and on social media, the release said.

Landslide closes highway over Colorado mountain pass
Mud and rock an estimated 15 to 20 feet deep buried both lanes of travel across U.S. 6 near Loveland Pass before sunrise Saturday. There is no indication when road crews will be able to clear the debris and re-open the road. No vehicles or cyclists are known to have been caught in the slide, according to state and county authorities. No actual time that the slide occurred has been released, either, although the first notification of the highway's closure came from the Colorado Department of Transportation at 4:25 a.m. A landslide crossed both lanes of U.S. 6 a mile north of Loveland Pass's summit Saturday morning. There is no estimated time of re-opening the highway, and authorities are asking travelers to avoid the area because the slide is still active. Clear Creek Sheriff's Office/Facebook The Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office stated in a social media post that the landslide crossed the highway at mile marker 226. That location is three miles above U.S. 6's interchange with Interstate 70 near the Loveland Ski Area and one mile below the summit of Loveland Pass. The Keystone and Arapahoe Basin ski areas are open but only accessible from the western side of Loveland Pass in Silverthorne. A-Basin extended its winter ski season earlier this month after planning to close on June 4; today is the ski area's last day. Keystone's ski season ended in early April. That resort planned to open its gates for summer recreation Thursday. There are no limitations to reaching Loveland Ski Area which ended its winter ski season May 4. Colorado Department of Transportation/Facebook Loveland Pass crests the Continental Divide just shy of 12,000 feet in elevation. The road is used as an alternative to the Eisenhower-Johnson Tunnels on I-70, particularly for trucks carrying hazardous cargo. With that Loveland Pass route unavailable, highway officials will normally close the tunnels to regular traffic at regular intervals to allow such hazardous cargo to travel through them alone. CDOT has made no announcements about those planned closures at this time.

Northern Lights Alert: 10 States Could See Aurora Borealis Sunday Night
Nearly a dozen states in the northern U.S. may have an opportunity to see the northern lights Sunday as geomagnetic storms will likely disrupt Earth's magnetic field over the next two days, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA forecasts auroral activity with a Kp index of four on a scale of nine for Sunday night, suggesting the northern lights will be more active and move farther away from the poles than usual and could be 'quite pleasing to look at' for those in the right areas. Periods of 'minor' geomagnetic storms are likely Sunday and Monday because of 'influences' of high-speed winds from a cooler, less dense spot on the sun's surface, NOAA said. Auroral forecasts for Sunday and Monday indicate a maximum Kp index near five for either night, according to NOAA's three-day forecast, which shows the northern lights may become visible in parts of Wyoming, Iowa, New York, New Hampshire and Vermont. The highest chance is forecast across northern Canada and Alaska, while a lesser opportunity is expected in northeastern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, northern South Dakota, Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, Upper Michigan and northern Maine. (See map below.) Sunday's view line. NOAA NOAA recommends traveling to a high vantage point away from light pollution between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. The agency said it's best to find an area with an unobstructed view toward the north. NASA and NOAA recommend using a tripod if using a smartphone or a regular camera while enabling a slower shutter speed and a focus set to the furthest possible setting. With a smartphone, NOAA suggests enabling night mode and disabling flash. The northern lights are expected to be more visible into early 2026 after activity reached a 'solar maximum' in October 2024, according to NOAA and NASA. This peak represents an increase in solar events like solar flares and coronal mass ejections during the sun's 11-year cycle, which are responsible for auroral activity. Electrons from these events collide with oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere, causing them to become 'excited' before releasing energy in the form of colorful, swirling lights.

Severe weather returns to its usual threat zone during the early summer
A series of pieces of energy are setting the stage for multiple days of severe weather across the North-Central U.S., in a region that has largely missed out on enhanced rainfall. According to the FOX Forecast Center, most of the thunderstorm development will take place along frontal boundaries, which will only slightly shift from day to day, setting up a pattern for persistent rain. Depending on the day's activity, cities such as Minneapolis; Omaha, Nebraska; Des Moines, Iowa; and Kansas City, Missouri could find themselves in an elevated thunderstorm risk zone. Any thunderstorm can be dangerous with cloud-to-ground lightning and heavy rainfall, but in the strongest storms, damaging wind gusts and hail will be possible. Forecasters have not ruled out a tornado threat, but the tornadic element is not considered as substantial as it would be in supercells with ample wind shear. Emerging Fungal Disease Threatens Strawberry Crops June and July are typically when the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest experience their most adverse weather from thunderstorms. According to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center, more than 200 tornadoes form every year during the first month of meteorological summer, with many impacting the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska. In addition to tornadoes, the country annually sees around 3,100 reports of damaging winds, which can occur in nearly any state in the Lower 48. Until a recent pattern shift, communities across the southern tier of the country had been subject to non-stop rounds of severe weather, which was unusual considering the time of year. Alongside bouts of severe weather, many areas also reported flooding, which in some cases in Oklahoma and Texas occurred as drivers were caught off guard in their vehicles. According to NWS forecasters, just 6 inches of fast-moving water can knock an adult off their feet, and a foot of floodwater can carry a car away. Fortunately, the FOX Forecast Center does not believe the current unsettled pattern will lead to widespread flooding concerns, as the thunderstorms' forward momentum will be rather quick and more than two-thirds of the region is considered unusually dry. How Absence Of El Niño, La Niña Could Influence Active Hurricane Season Forecast The general pattern could feature mesoscale convective systems (MCS), which can travel hundreds of miles across the northern tier of the country. The formation of an MCS usually happens during the warmer months when nighttime temperatures are sufficient to aid in thunderstorm development, without relying solely on daytime heating. Once an MCS forms, it can essentially take on a life of its own, generating weather features that help it maintain strength and structure well after initial development. These weather systems are an important part of climate patterns, as some areas from the Gulf Coast to the Midwest rely on complexes of thunderstorms for more than 50% of their annual rainfall.
