Parts of Montana reached 110 degrees this week â more than 20 degrees above normal â while the nationâs largest wildfire continued to explode in southern Oregon, generating its own weather and prompting state officials to warn residents that they face a long and difficult fire season.

MARION, Ill. (WSIL) Now that all Federal approvals are in place, the Jackson County Health Department will begin administering vaccines to 12-to-15-year-olds at the mass vaccination site at SIU’s Banterra Center.
Andrea Odum is thrilled to know the FDA approved a vaccine for kids in her 12-year-old daughter s age group.
One of the main reasons Odun said she wants her daughter to receive the Pfizer vaccine is because she wants her daughter to have a full and healthy life, especially after learning about children across the country being hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms.
