Historic home sustains damage in West Palm Beach fire
IT IS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH. I’M NIKITA RAMOS WITH A LOOK AT YOUR NEWS TO GO. A CLOSE CALL IN MARTIN COUNTY WHERE A LOCAL MAN SPOTTED A CAR SUBMERGED IN A POND WITH A PREGNANT WOMAN INSIDE. LOGAN HAYES JUMPED INTO THE COLD WATER, SWAM TO THE VEHICLE AND PULLED HER TO SHORE. MARTIN COUNTY FIRE RESCUE ARRIVED MINUTES LATER TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE ELSE WAS INSIDE, AND TO HELP WITH RECOVERY. A TEENAGE BOY IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW AFTER BEING HIT BY A VAN IN GREEN ACRES. AUTHORITIES SAY HE STEPPED OUT OF AN UBER AND TRIED TO CROSS JACKSON AVENUE FRIDAY NIGHT WHEN A WOMAN DRIVING A FORD VAN COULD NOT STOP IN TIME. THE TEEN SUFFERED A SERIOUS HEAD INJURY AND REMAINS IN CRITICAL CONDITION. THE CRASH IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS RIGHT IN THE HEART OF WEST PALM BEACH. THE PROMISE FUND AND RELATED ROSS FOUNDATION TEAMED UP FOR THE FIRST COMMUNITY WELLNESS FAIR. THIS WAS A DAY FOCUSED ON HEALTH AND ACCESS AT HEART AND SOUL PARK, OFFERING FREE SCREENINGS AND RESOURCES TO RESIDENTS. NIKKI. YEAH, IT’S A GORGEOUS START TO OUR SUNDAY. JUST SEEING SOME CLOUD COVER OFFSHORE, BUT A GREAT DAY TO GET OUTSIDE ONCE AGAIN AS TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE WARMING UP INTO THE UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S FOR THE PALM BEACHES. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THROUGHOUT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVEN AFTER THE SUN SETS, GOING TO BE A BIT MORE MILD COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. A LITTLE BIT COOLER IN THE TREASURE COAST AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE BREAKING INTO THE UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S AN HOUR OR TWO LATER, BUT GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY TO GET OUTSIDE. DRY AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER INTO SOUTH FLORIDA, AND THAT’S GOING TO HELP KEEP OUR SKIES CLEAR AND KEEP THOSE RAIN CHANCES AWAY. WE REALLY NEED THAT RAIN, BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO BE SEEING IT OVER THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. HOWEVER, AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO NEXT FRIDAY, THAT’S WHEN OUR NEXT COLD FRONT IS GOING TO BE PUSHING THROUGH. THAT’S WHEN WE WILL HAVE OUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY FOR SEEING JUST A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS OUR AREA. BUT YOU WILL NOTICE IT’S NOT GOING TO BE IMPACTING YOUR TEMPERATURES AS TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE UPPER 70S AND
