When your car fogs up in the winter, you blast the defroster. But doing that on a hot, humid summer morning will turn your windshield into a solid cloud. 🌫️

Here's the trick for when the fog is on the OUTSIDE of your car. 👇

More people are on the roads! ☀️🌡️

Drivers — watch out for walkers, runners, bicyclists, and everything in between.

Pedestrians — follow the rules of the road and use crosswalks when available.

We appear to be dodging today's severe weather threat, which is currently parked over SE Kansas. Friday is also supposed to be a storm-free day, but we may be back in the game Saturday aft/eve (stay tuned!). The good news: temps will drop below "Broil" today!

[BU CO Emergency Mgmt @ButlerEMA_KS]

We're in the "iffy" area for storms today -- better chances to our NE. If they do develop, watch out for gusty winds, a brief tornado, and potentially LARGE hail (2" or greater). But watch from indoors -- it's gonna be another HOT one today!

Using insect repellant is one of the easiest ways to help prevent mosquito and tick bites. A few seconds of your time can reduce the risk of illness spread by those little vampires. 🧛🩸

June 6, 2026, marks the 82nd anniversary of the landings at Normandy, France, during world War II.

May the sacrifices and hard work of the men and women who took part in this operation to ensure freedom not be forgotten nor taken for granted. Lest we forget.

Saturday is National Secure Your Load Day! 🛻📦

Whatever you're hauling this summer, there's a proper way to secure your cargo to keep everyone on the road safe. Road debris from unsecured loads causes thousands of preventable highway crashes every year.

Here's how to do it properly. ⤵️

[BU CO Emergency Mgmt @ButlerEMA_KS]

Some afternoon t-storm chances exist today, but forecasters aren't getting overly excited. Expecting scattered, barely-severe storms (hail, wind, heavy rain). Next (and better) chance for rainfall comes between Sat night and Sun night.
