Bonnaroo cancelled due to weather conditions, organizers promise refunds
MANCHESTER, Tenn. (WHNT) — The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival has announced it is cancelling the event due to weather conditions and the chance of continued rain in the forecast. The festival announced Friday that it was cancelling the rest of the festival due to a continued chance of rain over the weekend. Man dies from injuries after motorcycle wreck in Madison 'Today, the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days,' the festival said on its website. 'We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo.' News 19 staff members attending the event said it rained for several hours at the festival on Friday. The festival said that it plans to offer refunds to those who bought tickets for the event. Here are the details for those refunds: All 1-Day Friday, Saturday and Sunday Admission Tickets purchased via Front Gate Tickets and 1-Day Friday, Saturday and Sunday Day Parking purchased via Front Gate Tickets will be refunded.

Festival organizers asked for patience from attendees as they work to prioritize getting campers out of areas heavily affected by Friday's rainfall and those with accessibility needs. 'To do this, we ask that if your campsite is in good shape or if you're in an RV or pre-pitched accommodation, please consider spending the night with us and we'll start working to get you out of here safely tomorrow,' The organizers said. 'We will continue to operate as usual in Outeroo, including food vendors and all health and safety infrastructure.' The festival's management said it is crushed to have to cancel the rest of the event.

At least 11 dead and others missing in San Antonio flash flooding
At least 11 people have been killed and several others remain missing after torrential rains triggered flash flooding across San Antonio this week, inundating roads, sweeping away vehicles, and prompting dozens of water rescues, officials said. A powerful storm system moved through the area early Thursday, dumping eight inches of rain between midnight and 4 a.m. and spawning two confirmed tornadoes in neighboring Hays County, the National Weather Service reported. San Antonio Fire Department spokesperson Joe Arrington said more than 70 rescues had been made by Friday, which included people being pulled from trees, bushes, and submerged vehicles. As of Friday evening, the number of people still unaccounted for remained unclear. 'These are low-water crossings that are very difficult to gauge in terms of depth and speed,' San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said. 'The water rose rapidly and left very little time for escape.' Among the missing is 42-year-old Stevie Richards, who was driving to work early Thursday when his vehicle stalled in rising floodwaters. His wife, Angela Richards, told reporters she was on the phone with him when the car began to float. 'As I was talking to him, he said, 'Oh, the car's floating'… It wasn't even a whole minute later that I could hear it hitting up against something, him screaming and cussing, and I could hear the water take the phone. It happened really, really fast,' she told the San Antonio Express-News. 'And that's the last I heard.' The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office said the 11 killed range in age from 28 to 55 years old. Bodies were recovered both in and beyond the flood zones, officials said. Mayor Ron Nirenberg and his wife expressed condolences, calling the loss 'agonizing' and offering prayers for those still missing. 'Our hearts are with the families of those we've lost to this week's flash floods and the families who continue searching for their loved ones,' Nirenberg said in a statement. 'Erika and I will be praying that those who are missing are found without harm.' The National Weather Service confirmed two EF0 tornadoes touched down in Hays County early Thursday, bringing winds between 65 and 85 mph and causing minor structural and tree damage near Wimberley, about an hour northeast of San Antonio. City officials said 18 roads remained closed Friday due to damage or lingering floodwaters. At least 15 of the city's 141 low-water crossings were damaged. Flood warnings remain in effect for areas south of the city, where the San Antonio River and Cibolo Creek are forecast to rise above their banks through Saturday. The weather service warned that floodwaters from earlier in the week are still flowing downstream, posing continued risk to affected communities.

National Weather Service issues Alaska's first-ever heat advisory
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- For the first time ever, parts of Alaska will be under a heat advisory — but you can put an asterisk at the end of that term. It's not the first instance of unusually high temperatures in what many consider the nation's coldest state, but the National Weather Service only recently allowed for heat advisories to be issued there. Information on similarly warm weather conditions previously came in the form of 'special weather statements." Using the heat advisory label could help people better understand the weather's severity and potential danger, something a nondescript 'special weather statement' didn't convey. The first advisory is for Sunday in Fairbanks, where temperatures are expected to top 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius). Fairbanks has has been warmer in the past, but this is unusual for June, officials said. Here's what to know about Alaska's inaugural heat advisory: The National Weather Service's switch from special weather statements to advisories was meant to change how the public views the information. 'This is an important statement, and the public needs to know that there will be increasing temperatures, and they could be dangerous because Alaska is not used to high temperatures like these,' said Alekya Srinivasan, a Fairbanks-based meteorologist. 'We want to make sure that we have the correct wording and the correct communication when we're telling people that it will be really hot this weekend,' she said. The change doesn't reflect unprecedented temperatures, with Fairbanks having reached 90 degrees twice in 2024, Srinivasan said. It's purely an administrative change by the weather service. 'It's not that the heat in the interior that prompted Fairbanks to issue this is record heat or anything like that. It's just now there's a product to issue,' said Rich Thoman, a climate specialist at the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy. Thoman also clarified that the term swap doesn't have anything to do with climate change. 'I think some of it is related to the recognition that hot weather does have an impact on Alaska, and in the interior especially," Thoman said. While the temperatures in the forecast wouldn't be considered extreme in other U.S. states, Thoman noted that most Alaska buildings don't have air conditioning. 'And just the opposite, most buildings in Alaska are designed to retain heat for most of the year," he said. People can open their windows to allow cooler air in during early morning hours — if wildfires aren't burning in blaze-prone state. But if it's smoky and the windows have to remain shut, buildings can heat up very rapidly. 'Last year was the third year in a row in Fairbanks with more than a hundred hours of visibility-reducing smoke, the first time we've ever had three consecutive years over a hundred hours,' he said. There's only been two summers in Fairbanks in the 21st century with no hours of smoke that reduced visibility, a situation he said was commonplace from the 1950s to the 1970s. The Juneau and Fairbanks weather service offices have been allowed to issue heat advisories beginning this summer, but not the office in the state's largest city of Anchorage — at least not yet. And, regardless, temperatures in the area haven't reached the threshold this year at which a heat advisory would be issued. Brian Brettschneider, a climate scientist with the weather service, said by email that the Anchorage office is working on a plan to issue such advisories in the future.
