Flooded in Butler County? Here's how to report damage
BUTLER COUNTY, Kan. (KSNW) — Officials in Butler County and the City of El Dorado are asking residents and businesses impacted by recent flooding to report damages and request help for any unmet needs. Emergency management teams have been conducting on-the-ground assessments in flood-affected areas this week, but say they want to ensure no one is being overlooked—especially those who may need help beyond what insurance can cover. Thousands of I-135 drivers affected with Wichita closure this weekend Unmet needs may include cleaning out flooded basements, removing damaged carpets or drywall, and hauling away debris. Officials say identifying those needs now could help connect affected residents with disaster relief organizations or donors willing to assist. To streamline the process, the county has created two ways for people to report their damages: Online Form: Residents can complete an online form, which includes details and photos of the damage. Access the form here. By Phone: Residents can also call United Way's 2-1-1 line to report damage.

Staying muggy with some showers today
Typical Saturday–clouds and showers! It is a dry, albeit muggy start with patchy fog. We will see showers develop later this morning and continue through the afternoon. This will definitely affect some outdoor plans, so my apologies in advance. It will be cooler, but still humid with highs in the low 70s. At least Sunday will be drier! I don't think we'll see a lot of sunshine tomorrow since the clouds will drag their heels, but there will be some breaks and blue sky with lower humidity. I've introduced a few showers into the forecast for Monday. And of course, we are still tracking some afternoon thundershowers on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday look like the best days of the week! Today: Cloudy with showers/storms developing late morning. Cooler, still humid. Highs in the low 70s. Tonight: Mostly cloudy with patchy fog. Lows near 60°. Sunday: Partial sun. Less humid, highs in the mid to upper 70s. Monday: Mostly cloudy with a few spotty showers. Highs in the low 70s. Tuesday: Mainly cloudy with a round of afternoon showers/storms. Highs in the low 70s. Wednesday: Brighter and warmer. Highs in the low 80s. Thursday: Nice and bright. Highs in the low to mid 80s. Friday: More clouds with a chance of showers. Highs in the low to mid 80s. Saturday: Watching for a chance of showers. Highs in the mid 70s. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Lake Tahoe water temperature remains cold, posing risks for swimmers
( — With the weather getting warmer, the water temperatures of Lake Tahoe are still on the cooler side, according to the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District. NLTFPD stated that before you swim, check the temperature of the water and know your limitations. Lake Tahoe remains the second deepest lake in the United States; because of this, the temperature remains lower year-round. At this time, NLTFPD said that the lake temperature is currently in the high 50s, which is considered to be cold water and can quickly lead to cold water shock, swim failure, and hypothermia. 'Cold water shock is a real risk. An average of seven people drown in Lake Tahoe every year due to cold water shock,' said NLTFPD officials. 'Cold water shock occurs when the body enters extremely cold water and the muscles lock up, resulting in temporary paralysis.'

During the summer and throughout the year, NLTFPD responds to numerous water emergencies on the lake, according to officials. Here are some safety precautions before heading to the cold waters at Lake Tahoe. Boat Safety: Each person on board a boat, including paddleboards, must have at least one USCG-approved life Jacket Children under 13 must wear a USCG-approved life jacket while the boat is underway, unless they are in an enclosed area Carry a whistle or horn Dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature Check the weather forecast for wind conditions Never go on the water alone Don't drink alcohol while recreating on the lake File a float plan – leave it with a friend or family member Swim Safety Wear a USCG-approved life jacket Know your swimming limitations Enter the water slowly Feet first, first time Swim with a buddy Respect the dangers of cold water Check the weather for wind conditions Stay hydrated Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
