DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Avalanche have avoided arbitration with forward Ross Colton, signing him to a four-year contract.The deal is worth $16 million with a $4 million annual salary-cap hit, according to a person with knowledge of the move.

Hot and Stormy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:11:16 GMT

South Florida continues to have blazing hot weather days with cooling showers and storms. Temperatures (Monday) stopped short of record highs except for Marathon which set a new record high of 98-degrees! Across the Mainland, the “heat retreated” as thunderstorms developed in the afternoon. Some of the storms reached severe limits and we had reports of quarter size hail in Parkland. Gusty winds also formed. Some gusts reached as high as 50-55 mph with some of the strongest activity. For now, we’re stuck with lingering deep moisture over the region. When combined with daytime heat and sea breeze boundaries, conditions are ripe for developing storms. The same general pattern is likely for Tuesday and Wednesday. The only small difference will involve a more onshore flow into the midweek. That will happen as Atlantic High Pressure builds back to the west (closer to the Bahamas). Another feature that could play role in our weather, mainly Wednesday, will be ...
