Start your week smart: Hurricane season, NASA nomination, Pacers defeat Knicks, United Airlines, Hajj
Celebrities lending their names to products is nothing new, but actress Sydney Sweeney is taking her latest endorsement to an entirely new level. On the heels of a now-viral ad, the 'Euphoria' star is again partnering with soap brand Dr. Squatch to sell a limited edition line of bars infused with — wait for it — her bathwater. Here's what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart. Hurricane season is officially here, and — no surprise — it's expected to be a busy one. Meanwhile, the federal government agencies responsible for forecasting and disaster relief are in turmoil. President Donald Trump has criticized the Federal Emergency Management Agency as partisan, inefficient and unnecessary. He wants to shut it down and make states responsible. The National Weather Service is trying to fill more than 150 'critical' vacancies. The key question: Will Americans get help when they need it the most? 1️⃣ What to expect: Another above-average hurricane season is in store, with 13 to 19 named storms forecasted. Three to five of those may grow to major hurricanes of Category 3 or stronger. El Niño could change things. 2️⃣ FEMA chaos: Hundreds of workers have left the agency, including more than two dozen senior leaders — and further cuts are looming. 3️⃣ 'Not ready': Hurricane preparations have slowed to a crawl, and FEMA isn't ready for the June 1 start to the season, an internal review found. The agency made a late push, but some worry it's too little too late. 4️⃣ Help wanted: Layoffs, early retirements and preexisting vacancies have left the National Weather Service in dire shape. Meteorologists told CNN they're concerned forecasts and life-saving warnings are not going to be issued in time. 🎧 Listen in: A former meteorologist explains why staffing shortages could threaten lives when disaster strikes. 5️⃣ Lessons from 2024: There was a major disaster declaration every four days last year. Hurricanes and tropical storms affected more Americans — nearly 80 million — than any other type of catastrophic event. • Trump withdraws Jared Isaacman's nomination to lead NASA 'after a thorough review of prior associations'• Trans high school athlete wins two events at California finals in shadow of protests, Trump funding threats• CNN Poll: A record share of Americans want the government to get more done. Few trust either party to do it MondayRussia last week proposed June 2 as the date for the next round of peace talks with Ukraine in Istanbul. However, a top Ukrainian official says Russia has not yet provided a document outlining its vision of steps toward a ceasefire, despite an agreement to do so following a prisoner exchange in May. On Sunday, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that a Ukrainian delegation will attend the talks. TuesdayIf you're a United Airlines customer who likes to cut things close, you may be in for a rude awakening. The carrier is changing its check-in deadline for domestic flights to 45 minutes before departure on June 3. That includes passengers with only carry-on bags, who previously had to check in a scant 30 minutes before the gate closed. Customers traveling internationally are required to check in at least 60 minutes before departure. It's also the 100th anniversary of the first flight of the Goodyear blimp. On June 3, 1925, an airship built by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company named 'Pilgrim' took to the skies over Akron, Ohio. Wednesday The annual Hajj is set to begin today. On average, more than two million Muslims a year take part in the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Last year's Hajj was marred by the deaths of nearly 500 pilgrims due to the sweltering heat. ThursdayA lunar lander named Resilience is scheduled to touch down on the moon. Built by Japan's ispace, a private company, Resilience was launched in January and is currently orbiting the moon. It will be ispace's second attempt at a successful lunar landing. Its first attempt ended in failure in 2023. FridayThe week wraps up with the monthly employment report for May. In its previous reading, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said the US economy added a surprisingly strong 177,000 jobs in April.

Northern Lights Update: Aurora May Be Visible In Nearly Half Of States Sunday
Twenty-one states may be able to see the northern lights Sunday night into Monday, according to a forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and severe geomagnetic storms are likely. Northern lights illuminate the sky in Fairbanks, Alaska United States on March 27, 2025. The forecast for the aurora borealis Sunday night has a Kp index of seven on a scale of nine, meaning the lights will 'become quite bright and active' and visible from the northern edge of the U.S. People as far south as Nebraska and Iowa may have a chance at seeing the northern lights Sunday night, as well as people in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. The northern lights can be seen when geomagnetic activity causes ions to collide with atmospheric gases from Earth, causing visible displays. The three-day forecast from NOAA says G4, or severe, geomagnetic storms are likely Sunday into Monday as the result of a coronal mass ejection, or explosion of plasma and magnetic field, that left the sun on Saturday. The lights may be visible from Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, most of Wyoming, Idaho, Iowa and New York, and about half of Oregon, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Northern lights forecast for Sunday, June 1. NOAA recommends viewing the northern lights from an unobstructed, north-facing vantage point that is far from light pollution, moon light and city lights. The aurora is typically most visible from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. local time as that's when geomagnetic activity is highest, and the best seasons to view the lights are around the spring and fall equinoxes. If one is using a traditional camera to capture the northern lights, NASA recommends a wide-angle lens and tripod to help capture quick-moving elements of the aurora. If using a smartphone camera, NASA suggests turning on night mode, long exposure times and a tripod to keep the photos steady. The strong northern lights forecast continues into Monday night, when there's a predicted Kp index of five on the scale of nine and about thirteen states are in the viewline. The northern lights have been more regularly visible for months as the sun's 11-year cycle reached a 'solar maximum' in 2024, increasing the rate of solar fares, coronal mass ejections and other geomagnetic activity that make the lights visible. Scientists expect the increased solar activity to continue into next year and then start decreasing through 2030.
