Los Angeles County canine rescue teams return after aiding Texas flood recovery
Canine rescue teams from Los Angeles County returned to the Southland on Sunday morning after spending more than two weeks assisting with search and recovery efforts in Central Texas following the devastating floods in the region. The team with the Los Angeles County Fire Department was deployed to Texas on July 8. Over the next 18 days, the specialized dogs helped rescue teams search for remaining victims after floods tore through the region, leaving at least 138 dead. Dozens are still unaccounted for. "All canine teams and first responders are to be commended for their steadfast commitment in assisting with the search and recovery efforts in central Texas," said County of Los Angeles Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone. "We continue to stand alongside the residents and communities impacted by the devastating flooding and pray for continued strength and resilience." Gov. Gavin Newsom deployed the team, along with other teams from Oakland, Sacramento, Menlo Park, Orange County, and Riverside County. At LAX on Sunday morning, crewmembers told CBS News Los Angeles that it worked in excruciating heat with high humidity, which California-based crews are not used to. "It was very challenging compared to our other deployments," said Capt. Celina Serrano. "We did have to deal with something unexpected, with the humidity, which is what we're not used to out here." Serrano added that the dogs' work schedules had to be altered due to the weather conditions. A canine, Prentiss, had to have emergency surgery while in Texas but is expected to make a full recovery. He's going to have a two-month break from his duties before authorities assess whether he should return to work.

The roar of the March lion arrives early with a windy but sunny end to February
All this week (February 24th – 28th) the 59News & StormTracker 59 teams will be hosting a donation drive at our studio at 141 Old Cline Road, Ghent, WV 25843 for flood impacted communities across our region. Food and cleaning supplies are top priority as communities recover and clean up. A list of supply needs can be found here. While this is our last day of our Flood Relief Drives, the need will be there. Monetary donations are being accepted on behalf of the United Way of Southern West Virginia's Disaster Relief Fund to continue the recovery efforts. To donate via credit card, PayPal, or other digital means, visit our WV Disaster Relief portal. Friday's (2/28/25) Location is Five Loaves and Two Fish Food Bank in Kimball, West Virginia. Friday morning a few flurries fly with little additional accumulation expected for the day. Temperatures warm through the day and with our cold front from Thursday moves out to sea, we'll see improving conditions into Friday afternoon. Winds will stay elevated 10-15mph with gusts pushing 20-25mph out of the southwest. Cool in the shade, but decent in the sunlight at least. As winds shift more westerly then southwesterly, highs manage to push the low to mid 40s with a little sunshine returning. Overnight winds remain breezy as a few high level clouds roll in. A cold front is expected in the pre-dawn hours of our Saturday. Temps will hover in the 40s until the cold front and start to slide back. Saturday a cold front scoots through before sunrise as temperatures try to hold in the 40s but as winds shift from west to northwest, temps will start to slide heading into the morning hours. We'll be in the 30s by the late afternoon and teens for overnight lows. Wind chills with stronger winds 25-30mph at times will make the day feel colder. A few scattered light showers switch to snow showers for the mountains, but like Thursday nights system, not many will see anything other than the winds and cold temps. Sunday will be a cold and windy day as northwest winds bring much colder air back into the region. Highs barely make it to the freezing mark with our mountain colder yet. Wind chills will be a concern as winds remain elevated pushing 25-30mph. Expect the day to feel like we're in the teens and twenties all day. Overnight lows drop into the 20s as winds relax and skies clear. Monday we warm up after a frost morning to near average with the upper 40s for the afternoon. A little breezy at times but not as bad a the weekend prior. The roar of the March lion hasn't shown itself just yet, but we are starting the get a sense it's getting started with the up and down run in temps this week. Tuesday will be a quieter day as our jet stream drifts north of our region. Temps will warm steadily from the 30s of the early morning into the 50s by the afternoon. Southwest breeze will certainly bring back that spring-like feel but again, don't get too comfortable as the threat of winter weather still looms. Wednesday clouds are on the increase and winds remain southwesterly for a good chunk of the day. At least temperatures will push near 60 to make the showers a little easier to deal with. Scattered showers with an occasional downpour will lead to some street ponding. Streams still recovering from debris flows may run high, but for the most part, we should handle the rain with the amount of breaks we'll have between each system. Overnight, we'll see northwest winds kick in 15-20mph as temps drop into the low 30s. Mountain mixing and wet snowflakes look likely. In your extended forecast, our jet stream wobbles a bit from the more stable pattern its been in. Temperatures will swing from the warm 50s and low 60s to rain showers and cold days in the 30s and 40s. March is typically a windy month so watch those days where temperatures change over a large spread. The bigger and faster the temperatures change, the stronger those winds will be. FRIDAYMtn.
