A preliminary SIT report details alleged embezzlement of Ram temple donations. Senior Trust functionary Anil Mishra's oversight failure enabled suspects to pilfer funds. Nearly seventy instances of alleged pilferage were captured on CCTV footage. Subhash Srivastava, the counting room in charge, also faces serious lapses. The report names six suspects involved in theft and misappropriation offenses.

SPC MD 1522
MD 1522 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH LIKELY FOR EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA...NORTHWEST MINNESOTA...NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA

Mesoscale Discussion 1522
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0111 PM CDT Mon Jul 06 2026

Areas affected...Eastern North Dakota...northwest
Minnesota...northeast South Dakota

Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely 

Valid 061811Z - 062015Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Large hail and severe winds are possible with initial
supercells that will eventually grow upscale into a more organized
cluster/MCS. A watch is likely this afternoon.

DISCUSSION...A slow moving cold front continues southeastward within
the northern Plains. Though influence from the shortwave trough in
Canada is minimal, areas of strong heating of and upper 60s to low
70s F dewpoint airmass is allowing cumulus to deepen along parts of
the boundary. Additionally, mid-level convection will move eastward
through the Dakotas and may gradually root near the surface. The
strongest initial development will likely occur along the Canadian
border in northwest Minnesota given the greater surface heating and
nominally greater mid-level ascent. Effective shear of 35-40 kt will
support a mixture of supercells and multicells. With time, linear
forcing along the cold front and cold pool mergers will lead to a
broader linear structure. Initial supercells would be capable of
large hail up to 2 inches. As activity congeals, severe wind
gusts/wind damage would become more likely. The environment into the
Mississippi Valley becomes less favorable. Movement of storms toward
the south/southeast into the greater buoyancy is expected with time.

SPC MD 1523
MD 1523 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR MUCH OF NORTHERN/CENTRAL VIRGINIA INTO NORTH-CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA

Mesoscale Discussion 1523
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0127 PM CDT Mon Jul 06 2026

Areas affected...Much of northern/central Virginia into
north-central North Carolina

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 061827Z - 062100Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...The area is being monitored for an increase in
thunderstorm development this afternoon. The stronger storms will be
capable of producing damaging wind gusts. It is unclear if a watch
will be needed, especially in the near term.

DISCUSSION...The latest radar data shows a gradual increase in
thunderstorm development over the higher terrain of western VA ,
with more isolated development farther east. Over the next few
hours, continued diurnal heating and orographic lift should promote
scattered thunderstorms. As these storms advance eastward into parts
of central VA and north-central NC, steepening low-level lapse rates
and increasing buoyancy will promote damaging wind gusts --
especially with any clusters of storms that evolve. Current thinking
is that the greater risk of damaging winds will develop later this
afternoon into the evening, as storms congeal into small clusters.
Therefore, the need for a watch is uncertain in the near term,
though convective trends are being monitored.

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0206 PM CDT Mon Jul 06 2026

Valid 071200Z - 081200Z

...Afternoon Update...
Only slight adjustments were made to the risk areas based on the
latest guidance. Notably, the Isolated Dry Thunderstorm risk area
was expanded into southern ID where a mix of wet/dry thunderstorms
will pose a risk for lightning ignitions where pockets of dry fuels
exist. Following dry thunderstorms on Day 1/Monday, dry and windy
conditions on Day 2/Tuesday may encourage possible lightning
holdovers to emerge east of the Cascades (south-central OR) into the
northern Sierra Nevada (northeast CA/northwest NV), and west-central
UT where Elevated highlights were maintained. The rest of the
forecast remains on track, see the previous discussion for more
information.

..Elizalde-Garcia.. 07/06/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0206 AM CDT Mon Jul 06 2026/

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns will continue to be driven by a combination of
dry thunderstorm potential as well as dry/windy conditions across
portions of the West on Tuesday. A slight eastward shift of the
upper ridge from the Four Corners into the central Rockies is
expected through Tuesday evening. This will establish a more
west/southwest flow regime across the West Coast that will be
favorable for downslope flow off the northern Sierra Nevada and
portions of the Cascades. Additionally, a plume of mid-level
moisture will continue to spread east/northeast from the western
Great Basin towards the Four Corners/central Rockies that will
promote dry thunderstorm potential across a broad area. 

...Dry Thunderstorms...
Mid-level moisture spreading eastward over the next 24 hours will
impinge on a plume of steep mid-level lapse rates and dry
boundary-layer conditions currently in place across the Four Corners
and central Rockies. This should promote adequate buoyancy for weak
convection by Tuesday afternoon. PWAT values are currently forecast
to range from 0.75 inches from the northern Great Basin to around
0.5 inch across UT and western CO. Forcing for ascent driven by weak
perturbations within the mean southwesterly flow regime over the
northern Great Basin should decrease eastward into the Four Corners
were orographic ascent will yield more isolated thunderstorms. This
will likely result in a mix of wet and dry thunderstorms across the
northern Great Basin with increasingly dry thunderstorms with
east/southeastward extent. Portions of central OR were removed from
the risk area owing to the potential for wetting rainfall over the
next 24 hours. However, portions of the area may be at risk for dry
lightning if rainfall amounts are more limited than currently
anticipated. 

...Cascades into the northern Sierra Nevada...
The establishment of a southwest flow regime across the Cascades and
northern Sierra Nevada will promote strengthening downslope flow
along the eastern slopes. Latest forecast guidance suggests that the
driest and windiest conditions will emerge across northeast
CA/northwest NV where sustained winds between 15-20 mph will likely
coincide with 10-15% RH minimums. Further north, cooler conditions
will result in more sparse coverage of elevated conditions, but
favored gaps will likely see 15-20 mph winds with RH values falling
into the 15-25% range by late afternoon. 

...Eastern Nevada into western Utah...
Another day of dry and windy conditions is expected for Tuesday as
weak troughing across the northern Great Basin drives an uptick in
southwesterly flow across the region. Confidence in 10-15% RH
minimums is fairly high given downslope trajectories off the
southern Sierra Nevada over the preceding 24 hours, and latest
HREF/REFS guidance suggests wind speeds will likely reach 15 mph for
many locations, resulting in a few hours of sustained elevated
conditions.

Security forces launched a search operation after a Pakistani drone was spotted near the LoC. Blinking lights were observed over Mahadev Menka and Beripattan villages late Sunday. The suspected unmanned aerial vehicle briefly entered Indian airspace before returning towards Pakistan. Forces cordoned off the area and initiated a dawn search for any dropped payloads. No suspicious items were found during the extensive search operation.

Heavy rainfall caused a major landslide near the Kwar hydroelectric project in Kishtwar. Flash floods and mudslides blocked the Kishtwar-Doda Highway, burying several vehicles under debris. Large volumes of mud and boulders entered the project site, damaging construction equipment and materials. Three gates of the Baglihar dam were opened as the Chenab river water level increased significantly. District administrations in Doda and Kishtwar are monitoring weather conditions and river flow.

India faces significant energy system impact from El Nino's arrival. Renewable electricity generation may decrease while cooling demand rises. This could create an electricity generation gap of nearly eighteen terawatt-hours. Increased coal-fired power generation is the most likely outcome. Expanding solar power and battery storage is critical for grid resilience.
