Good morning, Norman.

A Silver Alert was issued on July 3rd at 2:48 p.m. for 66-year-old Delfina Montalvo, who was last seen near Woodcrest Drive and Sequoyah Trail on July 1 and is believed to be wearing dark-colored leggings, an unknown top, and tennis shoes — anyone with information should call 405-321-1444.

NOAA’s latest budget proposal released June 30 would cut funding for Norman’s National Severe Storms Lab and OU’s Cooperative Institute for Severe and High-Impact Weather Research and Operations if approved, endangering key projects like Warn-on-Forecast and VORTEX USA.

The plan would also shift some research funds to the National Weather Service and likely end support for the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program that aids local hazard planning.

Locals can explore Oklahoma’s gem hunting spots this summer, including Salt Plains State Park where visitors may find hourglass-shaped selenite crystals from an ancient ocean, the Ouachita Mountains with colorful quartz crystals, Noble known for its unique rose rocks along road cuts, and Black Mesa State Park offering petrified wood and fossils — these sites give rock collectors a chance to add rare finds to their collections.
