21-Year-Old Kayaker Called 911 for Help Before Vanishing and His Body Was Just Found, Mom Says
The body of a kayaker from Washington who vanished on May 13 has been recovered, his mom said Ty Coone's body was found on June 1, weeks after authorities say he called 911 to report that he was drowning "His spirit, humor, and kindness touched so many lives," a GoFundMe fundraiser organizer wroteA 21-year-old Washington kayaker who went missing weeks ago — after pleading with 911 for help as he was struggling in the water — was found dead early this week, according to his mother. Michele Scott Duncan confirmed with NBC affiliate KING that Ty Coone's body was recovered on Sunday, June 1. On May 13, Coone called 911, reporting that he was drowning, according to the Clallam County Sheriff's Office. "His phone's GPS placed him in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, north of Cline Spit, during a Small Craft Advisory," the department said. "Ty was believed to be fishing from his kayak." Amid search efforts, Coone's kayak, life vest and paddle were initially recovered — but he remained unaccounted for. "Search efforts were launched by the U.S. Coast Guard, Clallam County Sheriff's Office (using a drone with thermal imaging), Park Rangers, Fire District 3, and lighthouse personnel," officials said. Then, nearly 20 days after Coone's vanished, his body was recovered from near Dungeness Spit off the northern coast of Washington, according to KING. PEOPLE reached out to the sheriff's office and Duncan for further comment on Friday, June 6. Officials have not formally identified the body as Coone's, as they reportedly await dental records. However, Duncan told KING that the discovery brings her family some closure while also restarting the grieving process.

In a GoFundMe fundraiser launched to help cover the costs of Coone's burial and a headstone and "create a beautiful resting place" where loved ones can visit, he was described as "one of a kind — full of life, laughter, and love." "From dirtbike tracks to bonfire nights, he brought people together and made every moment unforgettable," the organizer wrote. "His spirit, humor, and kindness touched so many lives, and now it's our turn to give back and lay him to rest with the love and dignity he deserves." Read the original article on People

Hazy skies in forecast as makani shifts E/SE
HONOLULU (KHON2) – Moderate to breezy trades will veer east-southeast tonight through Monday as a strengthening high well to our northeast interacts with a broad trough approaching from the northwest. This slightly veered wind direction will disrupt the trade wind flow across the smaller islands and allow for the development of land and sea breezes across leeward areas. An upper-level trough approaching from the northwest will lower 500 mb heights and temperatures, introducing some instability over the western half of the state Sunday through early next week. The instability associated with this feature and an influx of low level moisture may help to enhance windward showers overnight and sea breeze-induced clouds and showers over leeward areas during the afternoons, particularly over the western half of the state. This east-southeasterly flow may also transport vog to a majority of the island chain through early next week. Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM HST Monday for Maui County Windward Waters, Pailolo Channel, Alenuihaha Channel, Big Island Windward Waters, Big Island Leeward Waters.

Forecast: Mainly clear, cool
Weather Maps Interactive Radar Climate & Environment The weekend begins on a sunny note with a second straight day of little or no cloud coverage. And while we're headed for a period of much warmer weather overall, another lake-enhanced cold front will briefly interrupt the warmth Saturday afternoon. Highs are likely to reach the 70s for many locations, even the low 80s far south/southwest suburbs, but the winds will shift to the northeast and strengthen during the afternoon, gusting to near 30 mph at times, sending the mercury plummeting again. Saturday will be a good day to leave the boat docked at the harbor. As the lake-enhanced cold front slides down the length of Lake Michigan, winds will increase from the north 15-30 mph, gusting even higher at times. As a result, waves will increase to 6+ feet during the afternoon prompting the National Weather Service to issue a Small Craft Advisory.
