A lot of folks are getting set for the big 4th of July weekend…lots of people have tomorrow off, and of course everyone is hoping for some nice BBQ and weather for fireworks!
It looks like the northeast will finally get a break from the unsettled weather, but not today! It’s pouring rain across much of New England right now, and we could see the threat for severe weather throughout the day with mainly hail and strong winds, and flood advisories are up from New Jersey to Maine.
Meanwhile, the heat is the story for the West including Washington and Oregon with highs in the 90s over the weekend.
We could see showers and or thunderstorms across the Northern Plains, the Gulf Coast and Florida throughout the day today.
Had a great day off yesterday with my little one. We’ve been feeding him oatmeal for a couple of weeks now, so I thought I would try something a little different yesterday…GREEN BEANS! That was a mistake! He was excited to see the little spoon out, and when I put him in his little chair, he was clearly looking forward to eating…but when I put the green mush in his mouth, his expression was that of pure disgust! His little face went from happy to “What on earth did you just put in my mouth, mom???” I had heard from other moms that it’s better to start with vegetables, and then give fruits later on because if you start with fruits, they will never eat the veggies…but at this rate, green beans are off the menu! Thankfully he forgot about the beans, and ate the oatmeal like a champ before going to bed last night.
Anyhow, I will post a 4th of July Forecast later on today across the U.S., and I’m working tomorrow as well as Saturday, so I’ll check back frequently. If you guys take any pictures this weekend, please pass them along so I can post them here!
I also wanted to let you know about the FOX News Support our Troops Facebook page that now has a video tribute to our troops. Here’s the link to the video, and let me know what you think!
Ok – this video is UNBELIEVABLE! I take the subway every day in NYC, and there are times when things are pretty crammed (rush hour) and it’s hard to even get into the doors of the subway. Well, in Japan, they actually have dudes whose job is actually to JAM PEOPLE INTO THE SUBWAY! I would’ve never believed it without seeing it with my own eyes:
This video is from my friend Angela. Her little dachshund Otto is such a little character! He loves his toys – and he has so many of them, he gets overwhelmed when he sees all of them in such small quarters! This is one of the most adorable videos I’ve ever seen. I know you’ll like it too!
Here’s the package that premiered this past Sunday. Thanks to everyone that wrote in to express your thoughts and incredible support. I am humbled by your kindness.

FROM RICK LEVENTHAL: We heard about damage to the Wynnewood estate when we stopped at a staging area for the Sumner County Emergency Management agency. State police, firefighters and other rescue workers huddled outside a church and trailer handling distress calls and discussing their next moves.
The county had at least seven fatalities, several just down the road near a historical site so we headed there to check it out.
We took a right turn off the two-lane highway and rounded a curve and there it was, a long big gray home sitting up on a hill, surrounded by felled trees, smashed barns, outbuildings and debris, including pieces of roof. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
