A couple convicted of criminal charges in the “balloon boy” hoax that fascinated the country more than a decade ago were pardoned Wednesday by the governor of Colorado.
Richard and Mayumi Heene reported their 6-year-old son had floated away in an homemade UFO-shaped silver helium balloon in 2009. But the child was never on the balloon, and he was later found unharmed at his home.
Meteorologist Tom Konvicka
SEVERE WEATHER REMAINS POSSIBLE through midnight. High wind and a few tornadoes are the primary threats. Instability is lacking and this should limit the scope and intensity of the event; however, forcing is quite strong from an upper-level trough and surface cold front so there remains potential for this situation to over-achieve. Monitor your sources for weather information-warnings may be issued.
Meteorologist Tom Konvicka
