Skilling: Hot, humid temps to finish out week

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:33:06 GMT

Heat and humidity continue to build toward the Chicago area. Lake breezes and moderate humidity levels, which spared us the most intense heat today—which had been expected--- will give way to hotter, more humid weather Wednesday, Thursday and Friday---though lake breezes will temp the hit on area beaches and in lakeshore areas—AND T-STORM OUTFLOWS will have to be monitored.The area is outlooked for some potential severe t-storms Wed into Wed evening. Storm defeating capping is to take hold Thursday likely sparing Chicago storms then. Models continue to advertise a humid, energy rich environment Wednesday.  But storm coverage isn't as widespread on current and overnight model runs. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE WON'T BE STORMS---just that rain-free periods may allow temps to heat more than they might have otherwise.Heat indices, which marry temps with anticipated humidity's surge and offer guidance on the "apparent temp" in an attempt to offer guidance on what the air mass m...

Sea lion recorded in California likely wasn't targeting tourists, expert says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:33:06 GMT

SAN DIEGO (KSWB) - Beachgoers were startled by a sea lion that appeared to charge them at La Jolla Cove in San Diego Sunday evening, but one expert says the humans may not have been the intended target. The incident happened as summer crowds, mostly tourists, overwhelmed the tiny, protected beach — one of the most iconic in California — trying to get up-close photos with the beautiful sea mammals and newly weaned pups. But it's risky to do so.“I feel like people should educate themselves a little bit about the marine life here — what to do, what not to do, respect the sea lions, don't touch them, don't get in their space," Japhet Perez Estrada, a La Jolla native and business owner, said to Nexstar's KSWB on Monday. He swims the cove every day and captured video of the incident as he was getting out of the water.“I looked to my left and I see a big sea lion just come out of the water and start charging and that's when it turns to chaos," Perez Estrada said. "Everyone w...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:33:06 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) –  A family spokesperson announced Tuesday that LeBron James’ 18-year-old son, LeBron “Bronny” James, is recovering after a sudden cardiac arrest. An Austin interventional cardiologist at the Institute for Cardiovascular Health said that while a sudden cardiac arrest in someone this young is fairly rare, it is something that people surrounding sports and playing them should be aware of. “When it does happen, the availability of certain resources is really a life and death consideration. And so it's not common, but it's something that we see among both young athletes, teenage athletes, as well as adult and even professional athletes,” said Dr. Peter Monteleone, who is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin.There are several reasons why a sudden cardiac arrest can occur. Monteleone said one way it might happen in a younger person is when there is an underlying genetic cardiovasc...
