Gas line rupture prompts evacuations in downtown Arlington
A gas line break in downtown Arlington has led to evacuations near the intersection of West Main Street and Oak Street. Emergency crews are on the scene, and a command post has been set up to coordinate the response. "Atmos crews are currently on scene," Arlington police spokesman Tim Ciesco said. "We are blocking off Main Street between Center Street and Oak Street while they work to make repairs. It's our understanding (that) the leak was reported by a construction company that was working in the area. "Businesses near the leak have been evacuated as a precaution. Those folks are currently being sheltered at the Downtown Arlington Library. There are no reports of any injuries." Authorities are urging the public to avoid the area until further notice. CBS News Texas will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.

Risk of severe weather follows potentially record-setting heat around Boston on Friday
Another round of high heat, oppressive humidity and potentially severe storms is on the horizon in the Boston area, therefore, the WBZ Weather Team has highlighted Friday as a NEXT Weather Alert Day. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for both Thursday and Friday. Sitting about halfway through meteorological summer, we have already equaled the number of 90-degree days from 2024 in Boston. We will be adding on to that total in the next couple of days. High temperatures on Thursday will reach the low 90s in most areas along and north of the Mass Pike. Dewpoints will be climbing into the 60s, making it feel a few degrees warmer. The heat and humidity will peak on Friday. Temperatures will reach into the mid and upper 90s, challenging some daily records. Dewpoints will top out near 70, adding 5-10 degrees to the "feels-like" temperature. During Friday afternoon and evening, a cold front will sweep through southern New England ushering in some cooler and drier air. Unfortunately, in order to get there, we will have to endure a round of thunderstorms, some of which could reach severe levels. The Storms Prediction Center has placed our entire area in a "marginal" risk for severe storms on Friday. This is a level 1 of 5 on their scale. There is a good chance they may adjust this in the next 24 hours and place parts of the area in a "slight" risk, or level 2. Highest risk for thunderstorms will be between 2-8 p.m. on Friday. Any storms that form may contain very heavy downpours, lightning, damaging wind gusts and small hail. If you have outdoor plans Friday afternoon and evening, we urge that you stay tuned to updated forecasts. After those storms pass, drier air flows in and we are in for another terrific Saturday! Sunday may bring another risk of showers or storms. More on that in the next few days.

Flood waters race through New Mexico community, prompting rescues
VADO, N.M. (AP) — At least 20 people had to be rescued as flood waters raced through a New Mexico community near the Texas state line overnight, marking the latest deluge of summer rain to force evacuations and cause damage for the otherwise arid region. Forecasters with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque and El Paso, Texas, have been busy in recent weeks issuing flood watches and warnings as afternoon thunderstorms crank up across the region. It's part of the monsoon's daily ritual. Authorities in Doña Ana County conducted damage assessments Wednesday as they shifted to recovery operations. Initial reports from the county's emergency management team showed about 110 homes in the Vado area were damaged by flood waters, several hundred homes were without power and some roads remained closed. Emergency crews transported two people to the hospital with minor injuries, county officials said. 'All of our flooding protocols were working. It was just too much water,' county spokesperson Ariana Parra said of the storm. Resident Sally Sanchez-Gonzales asked for prayers Tuesday night as waves of muddy water crested just beyond the fence that lines her property. On Wednesday, she shared a video that showed the aftermath, the mud having caked a large swath of desert as debris clogged other areas. 'My family is still trying to help some families evacuate at the lower ends and others returned to get important items,' she told The Associated Press. 'There's a lot of cleanup to do.' The flooding in Vado resulted from more than 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of rain that fell Tuesday, officials said. To the north, the mountain community of Ruidoso is still recovering from deadly flooding that damaged hundreds of homes as storm water rushed off mountainsides that have been scarred over recent years by wildfire. Without trees and other vegetation to hold back the water, the village has been forced to issue almost daily warnings for people to stay clear of creeks and low-lying areas. State officials on Wednesday announced the federal government has issued a major disaster declaration for communities in Lincoln County, including Ruidoso.
