Lee has formed, in the Atlantic

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:29:11 GMT

Tropical Storm Lee, the season’s 12th named storm, is on the move having formed over the central Atlantic, Tuesday afternoon. Initial winds are estimated to be 45 mph (with higher gusts). As the storm continues to move west-northwest, it’s likely to get stronger and become a major hurricane by the end of the week!Lee is far from land and the current forecast has no land areas within the 5-day cone. Having said that, the northern Leeward Islands will need to monitor the track due to the somewhat-close approach. Also, there could be some fringe impacts to the islands by the upcoming weekend. According to the National Hurricane Center, “While it’s too soon to determine the location and magnitude of these possible impacts, interests in this area (northern Leeward islands) should monitor the progress of Lee and further updates to the forecast”. The main question we’ve been receiving in the 7 Weather Center? “Does south Florida need to wor...

DJ Stewart proving his worth with Mets after struggling as a former first-round pick

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:29:11 GMT

WASHINGTON — DJ Stewart has faced a particular type of pressure throughout his career. Once considered one of the best bats of the 2015 draft class, the Mets’ outfielder was taken 25th overall by the Baltimore Orioles after wrapping up a standout career at Florida State.That first-round tag proved tough to live up to and in some ways and Stewart struggled to establish himself and his bat in the Charm City. Stewart admittedly had a difficult time living up to that pressure.“There have been times in my career where I pressed,” Stewart told the Daily News. “In Baltimore, being a first-round pick, just kind of letting the pressure kind of get to you. And being younger in my career at that time, I didn’t really know how to handle failing in my life for the first time.“But I’m fortunate that it did happen because I know how to adjust to it.”Stewart got a second chance at a big-league career with the Mets, and it certainly looks as thou...

By MARK THIESSEN (Associated Press)ANCHORAGE, ALaska (AP) — A pair of Alaska teachers needed good news after they lost nearly all their possessions when their house collapsed into a river swollen by a glacial-outburst flood and their cat went missing.Elizabeth Wilkins was holding onto hope that if any animal would survive the house falling into the Mendenhall River on Aug. 5, it would be Leo, the couple’s resilient big-eyed, black-and-white cat who shows no fear of bears.“I knew that he’s pretty smart, and so I felt pretty confident that he would escape and be OK somewhere,” she said.That faith paid off 26 days after the flood when Tonya Mead posted a photo of Leo to the Juneau Community Collective Facebook page. Wilkins immediately knew it was Leo, the “COVID kitten” they rescued in 2020. She rushed to meet Mead.“I just started walking down the street calling for him, and he just ran out and was like, ‘Oh hey, here I am, you kno...
