Maryland State Police urge safety with Fourth of July travel underway

Travel experts predict that more people will drive or fly this year for the Fourth of July weekend. In Maryland, traffic headed toward the Eastern Shore and the beaches could be backed up. AAA says 1.3 million Marylanders will hit the roads, a 2% increase compared to 2024. Higher travel volume, AAA says AAA expects 72.2 million Americans to travel at least 50 miles from home over the holiday week, from June 28 to July 6. More than 1.5 million of them are Marylanders. This year's forecast is nearly 2% higher than at the holiday in 2024, and exceeds 2019 travel volume by nearly 9%. "I actually even took the train to avoid driving," said Frank Zmuda, who traveled to Baltimore from New York to visit family. Zmuda said the early arrival saved him from stressing out over traffic. "It always gets so bad," Zmuda said. "Trying to get over the GW and down the turnpike, it's just a headache. Then, you get down here and it's just as bad." Zmuda knows the route well and said he's traveling without worries this time around. "People who are traveling today, tomorrow, God bless you," Zmuda said. "I wish you well because I can't imagine how it's going to be." Maryland State Police are watching for impaired drivers Due to the large volume on the road, Maryland State Police will increase their presence across all 23 barracks, keeping an eye out for drivers under the influence. "Driving under the influence is not just illegal, it's reckless, selfish, and potentially fatal," said Lt. Col. Daniel Pickett. Lt. Col. Pickett said that within the past five years Maryland, nearly 800 people have died in crashes involving impaired drivers. Troopers, including Ashleigh Deems, have been involved in accidents with distracted or impaired drivers. "Last month, a trooper from the College Park barracks was struck by an impaired driver while conducting a crash investigation," Trooper Deems said. "He is actually my classmate in Class 157 and luckily will be OK." As State Police urge drivers to be responsible, AAA warns to reminds you to check your tires, car battery, and other issues before you drive off. Summer gas prices This summer comes with a gift at the pumps. Dean said gas is down 30 cents in comparison to this time last year. "Sitting at $3.20, down four cents in the past week. We are about 19 cents higher than we were a month ago," Dean said. "I actually looked back and these are the cheapest prices we're seeing at the pump going into this holiday since back in 2021." Best times to travel INRIX, a provider of transportation data and insights, expects Wednesday, July 2, and Sunday, July 6, to be the busiest days on the road. Afternoon hours will be the most congested. "Generally, leaving in the morning is the best bet because that keeps you out of the backups in the late afternoon, early evening," Dean said.

Rain and snow will continue across parts of New Mexico tonight

Locally heavy rain and heavy mountain snow will continue in parts of New Mexico tonight. Rain and thunderstorm chances will continue into the weekend. Heavy rain and heavy snow has fallen in parts of New Mexico over the last 24 hours. Over two feet of snow has fallen in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Meanwhile, over one inch of rain has fallen in eastern parts of New Mexico. Scattered showers and storms continue across most of New Mexico Tuesday afternoon, switching over to snowfall above about 8,000′ in northern New Mexico. A Flood Watch continue for northern and northeastern New Mexico through 6 PM. A Winter Storm Warning continues for the Sangre de Cristo Mountains through 10 PM. Some of the rain and snow showers could be heavy at times through late tonight, but the moisture will mostly be ending by tomorrow morning. A few spotty rain and mountain snow showers may stick around into early Wednesday morning though. Another round of showers and storms will develop Wednesday afternoon, but they won't be as widespread as we've seen the last couple of days. The rain won't be nearly as heavy either. Temperatures will be below average, but a warming trend will be starting. Warmer weather moves in Thursday and Friday with isolated afternoon storm chances mainly over the mountains and in the surrounding areas. A higher chance for showers and storms will return to western, northern, and central New Mexico Saturday afternoon. The highest chance for rain will again be over the mountains. Temperatures will continue to warm. Sunny and dry weather returns for Mother's Day as high temperatures climb above average again for this time of year. Dry weather will stick around into early next week as the winds pick up on Tuesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

A recreational beach in Chincoteague is moving to avoid erosion

The recreational beach at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge will soon move up the coast more than 2 miles as part of a plan to safeguard the public facility from erosion and storm damage. The beach, which hosts more than 1 million vacationers each year, has historically been hit hard by storm surges and sea-level rise. Major storms such as hurricanes and nor'easters sporadically and dramatically move sand from the ocean-facing side of Assateague Island to its land-facing side, into inlets and bays and onto the shores of Chincoteague. And with the island approaching the mainland at a rate of approximately 10-13 feet per year, there's no room to continue to move facilities to the west. 'Moving the recreational beach to a more stable location north of the existing beach was the only available course of action that could conserve wildlife resources on the refuge, significantly reduce annual and long-term maintenance costs and protect the viability of the local economy,' said the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which owns and operates the refuge. The current recreational beach will remain open this summer and until the construction until the new beach is complete. Construction for the roads and parking areas begins this week and will continue through the fall of this year. Visitor amenities and routes to the beach will start construction in the fall, and those are expected to be finished in April 2026. Help could be on the way for Chincoteague water wells contaminated by PFAS Gray sand will remain in Virginia Beach for now as replenishment project paused over quality Dominion will restart its offshore wind project in May. Here's how whales will be protected. Once completed, the new beach will be about a mile long — similar to the size of the original beach — with parking spaces for 961 vehicles and RV space. Even with the shoreline movement, the service said the new location on the eastern side of the island could support the new recreational beach for at least 25 years. Common issues after storms on the East Coast include repeated damage to boardwalks and parking areas, which are prone to flood and destruction. Even in moderate storm systems like Winter Storm Jonas, which dumped more than 2 feet of snow on the East Coast in 2016, the beach's parking lot can be destroyed. Jonas caused $600,000 in damages and long-term closures, and according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, more than $15 million has been spent on storm recovery for the recreational beach since 2003. The relocation of the recreational beach is years in the making. In 2015, the project was included in the refuge's Comprehensive Conservation Plan. The Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service submitted grant proposals to fund the relocation, but those were unsuccessful. In 2023, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration announced the $17.7 million award as part of its Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Projects Program. Funding for the program comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. 'Once the new recreational beach facilities are completed and open, the current beach will be managed as natural beach, dune and saltmarsh habitats,' the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said. 'We anticipate that working with nature will allow for the natural barrier island process to occur, creating habitat for threatened and at-risk species and offering protections to the local community from future storms.'
