Spring storms and heat create dangerous conditions on lakes and trails
CHATFIELD RESERVOIR, Colo. (KDVR) — Rain and high winds across the metro area affected thousands in the metro area over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Flooding caused a traffic backup on northbound Interstate 25 just north of Arapahoe Road on Sunday. Chatfield Reservoir and other lakes sat empty as storms passed through Colorado. Supercell forms 3 tornadoes in Colorado Friday, including an EF-2: NWS Some at Chatfield Reservoir braved the rain, choosing to enjoy some fishing. 'It feels fun, it's relaxing just hearing the rain hit on the umbrella,' said Ava Williams. The Powells joined others at the marina who camped out in their boats during the storm. 'We just curl up in the boat and enjoy it, watch the weather come in,' said Mrs. Powell. There are 4,000 lakes and reservoirs in Colorado. Colorado Parks and Wildlife warns that heavy spring rain combined with snowmelt caused by warmer temperatures can cause dangerous conditions everywhere as water levels quickly rise. 'It's a little scary,' said Williams. CPW encourages anyone planning to enjoy the outdoors to schedule trips based on information from weather reports and pack proper gear. 'I've got some rain gear on just to keep you dry, you know, as long as you're prepared, in Colorado, you can go out and do whatever,' said one visitor. Melting snowpacks on mountain peaks also create muddy trails, extremely cold water in creeks, lakes and reservoirs, as well as stronger currents.

Nozzleman Pizza Opens First Walmart Location in Carson City, Nevada, Expanding to Six States in 2025
Nozzleman Pizza, a rising name in quick-service restaurants with deep ties to first responders, has opened its first Walmart location inside the Carson City, Nevada, store at 3770 US-395. This marks the beginning of a rapid expansion plan for entrepreneurs Jesse Corletto and business partner Robert Powells. The locally founded brand plans to open inside 17 Walmart locations across six states this year, with vast growth expected ahead. Walmart, ranked No. 1 on the Fortune Global 500 list for 11 consecutive years, is aligning its efforts to engage with innovative brands that offer value and quality to its customers. Following the Carson City debut, additional northern Nevada Nozzleman Pizza locations will open inside Gardnerville, Fallon and Reno Walmart stores by late summer. Further expansion is expected in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah, with plans to eventually open in all 50 states. 'Walmart is an iconic American brand with an unparalleled customer base,' said Powells. 'We couldn't dream of a better collaboration than with a company that shares our commitment to the communities we serve. The opening of our store in Carson City represents the first step in an ambitious growth strategy that blends quality food with our mission of supporting the first responders who serve our communities.' Co-founder Jesse Corletto, a retired firefighter with 25 years of service, co-created Nozzleman Pizza to honor his fellow first responders. With backing from celebrity investors, including Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi from Jersey Shore (Polizzi grew up in a firefighting family), Nozzleman Pizza is more than just a pizza brand––it's a movement. Each location donates a portion of its proceeds to local fire stations, reinforcing the company's dedication to giving back to those who protect and serve. Additionally, Nozzleman Pizza has partnered with Jeremy Renner's RennerVation Foundation to support foster kids and at-risk youth. Corletto is a member of the RennerVation Foundation board of directors. As Nozzleman Pizza scales nationally, the company is actively seeking franchisees who share the company's vision. 'With Walmart locations, our franchisees have the potential to tap into high-foot-traffic stores with a very loyal customer base helping to ensure financial stability,' said Powells. 'We would love for people to come join our family and become franchisees of a wonderful brand.'

TV tonight: a vital film about young people in Gaza
9pm, BBC Two A teenager narrates this absolutely vital film about what life has been like for young people in Gaza since 7 October 2023. Abdullah, 13, is incisive, quick on his feet and at times alarmingly indifferent as he shows the horrors around him. We also meet cooking TikToker Renad, 10, who stops whisking when a bomb hits nearby: 'We're not afraid, we're used to it.' And Zakaria, 11, who dreams of being a paramedic, is determined to 'find a way to fit in' by helping casualties; it is a relief to see him enjoy a moment in the sea. Most haunting still, following news of Donald Trump's intentions for Gaza, are Renad's words after the ceasefire is announced: 'If Gaza goes back to how it was before, I'll stay for sure.' Hollie Richardson 9pm, Sky Atlantic It's time for another hellish stay in paradise, as the White Lotus in Thailand checks in guests for a third series of Mike White's brilliant wealth satire. The new group of unbearable holidaygoers includes a near-identical gang of three blond women in their late 40s, and an 'LBH' (that's 'loser back home') middle-aged bloke in a Hawaiian shirt with his young wellness influencer girlfriend. Carrie Coon, Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins star, with Natasha Rothwell returning. HR 8pm, BBC One Ross Kemp, who is back on the soap, marks its 40th anniversary with this documentary. It's a big reunion with familiar faces, including Anita Dobson and Pam St Clement, who remind us of groundbreaking moments including HIV and domestic abuse storylines. HR 8pm, Channel 4 Joe Swash and home economics expert Suzanne Mulholland present a lifestyle show that puts struggling families through a friendly boot camp: it's basically Eat Well for Less? where batch cooking is always the answer. The problems of the Powells in Hull – busy parents and hungry kids all chaotically and expensively improvising their own meals – might be horribly familiar. Jack Seale 9pm, BBC One The sleek crime drama continues with DCI Harry Virdee (Staz Nair) investigating the gruesome murder of a local Bradford woman, Priti Parmar (Sarah Pearson). The killing sends shock-waves through the city's underworld, while an investigation of the victim's ex-boyfriend reveals Priti's secret, gang-affiliated life. Nicole Vassell 9pm, Channel 4 Episode three of the controversial reality experiment, which sees a group of Britons recreate the perilous journeys undertaken by asylum seekers, in a largely ungracious fashion. There's a predictable disagreement within the group over what constitutes a 'genuine' refugee, and tensions rise during a risky trek over the Alps from Italy to France. Hannah J Davies
