SUMMARY: The National Weather Service reports an increase in rip current-related deaths on U.S. beaches this summer, with at least eight fatalities in Florida and over 150 rescues in North Carolina recently. Rip currents, often more dangerous than sharks or stingrays, are expected to remain a problem through the July 4th holiday, especially along the East Coast. Rip currents can be identified by choppy water or notable color differences and are common near jetties or piers. If caught, officials recommend swimming parallel to the shore and seeking lifeguard assistance. Approximately 100 people die annually from rip currents in the U.S.

The city argues against donating the property due to legal restrictions but remains open to its sale. The alumni association seeks ownership to apply for grants and refurbish the gym, hoping to restore its community significance.

SUMMARY: An excessive heat warning is in effect for hot pink shaded areas, with “feels like” temperatures up to 114°F. High temperatures of around 93°F are expected, feeling like 110°F due to high humidity. A chance of scattered rain exists, but temperatures may rise due to potentially scarcer rain. The first hurricane of the season, Barrel, has formed in the Atlantic and may become a category three hurricane. It's expected to reach the Caribbean Sea later in the week. Another potential system, Chris, could follow. No immediate impacts are anticipated for the Gulf Coast, but high temperatures and a few daily storms are expected through the 4th of July.
