Hurricane Milton surges back to Category 5 storm as Florida prepares for landfall
SUMMARY: Floridians are urged to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Milton, a threatening Category 5 storm projected to impact Tampa Bay. Mayor Jane Castor warned residents that staying in evacuation zones could be fatal, and President Biden has prioritized federal resources to assist. Many towns, especially Fort Myers, are taking precautions, with businesses boarding up and residents heeding evacuation orders. However, some, like a woman from Sanibel Island, choose to stay. Curfews are in place to enhance safety, and officials are prepared to respond only after winds decrease. Around 3 million people are under evacuation orders, with major transportation hubs closing.
Hurricane Milton is on a path toward Florida’s west coast after surging back into a Category 5 storm Tuesday evening, less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene hit the state. Tampa’s mayor warned of a direct hit and urged people to follow evacuation protocols Monday. CBS News correspondent Nicole Valdes has more on how residents are responding and CBS News correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti reports on those still recovering from Hurricane Helene.

South Florida 6:30 p.m. Weather Forecast 6/15/2025
SUMMARY: Father’s Day weather in South Florida featured warm, sunny conditions with mostly clear skies. Rain chances remained low, confined mainly to the morning with isolated interior showers later. Overnight, light showers could drift across the Keys, and smoke from a brush fire near Krome Avenue and Tamiami Trail may affect areas between Krome and the Turnpike by Monday morning. Temperatures will drop into the upper 70s overnight, with daytime highs near 90°F throughout the week. UV levels are high as summer begins. Breezy conditions may create choppy waters, and rain chances increase slightly to 20% by mid-to-late week.
CBS News Miami’s NEXT Weather Meteorologist Dave Warren says expect mostly clear skies for the rest of Father’s Day but prepare to be possibly impacted by the smoke from the wildfire in Southwest Miami-Dade in the morning before the breeze pushes it more inland.

A look at the first artificial solar eclipses created by two European satellites
SUMMARY: Two European satellites from the European Space Agency have created the first artificial solar eclipses by flying in precise formation 492 feet apart, simulating total solar eclipses to study the sun’s corona. Dubbed Proba-3, the \$210 million mission has already produced 10 successful eclipses since March, with scientists aiming for up to 200 over two years. This mission is unique because the eclipse-blocking disk and observing telescope are on separate spacecraft, offering unprecedented views of the sun’s outer atmosphere. Preliminary results have exceeded expectations, providing stunning images and aiding research on solar phenomena like coronal mass ejections and geomagnetic storms.

Warning signs of speech disorder in children and why early intervention matters
SUMMARY: Many young children develop lisps as they learn to speak, often outgrowing them naturally. Katie Nelson’s lisp, characterized by “R” and “S” sound difficulties, persisted beyond early childhood, impacting her clarity and confidence. After unsuccessful group therapy, her mother sought help from speech therapist Kristal Ray, who used a mouth puppet to show proper tongue placement. This visual approach quickly corrected Katie’s “gliding” disorder, improving her speech, reading, and self-esteem. Ray advises parents to monitor speech clarity by ages 2-4 and seek therapy if understanding is delayed, as untreated speech issues can hinder literacy development.
