SUMMARY: Fire danger has decreased but remains a concern. Currently, two tropical systems are being monitored, with a low chance of development due to cold fronts preventing significant activity. Expect cold temperatures in the area, with tomorrow morning seeing lows around the upper 30s to low 50s, and a high of 70°F later in the day. Winds may create a colder wind chill effect. For outdoor activities, especially grilling, caution is advised. This weekend promises sunshine and warming temperatures, reaching the mid-70s, making it comfortable for events like the Saints game and Oktoberfest festivities.

SUMMARY: Bear County law enforcement agencies express concern over a new booking policy by Sheriff Javier Salazar, which delays jail intake for suspects requiring medical screening. The directive, aimed at addressing jail deaths, mandates that suspects detoxing from substances or with serious medical conditions must be evaluated at a hospital before booking. This has led to significant delays and complications for officers, with reports of suspects being released instead of booked. Smaller agencies worry that the policy jeopardizes public safety. Despite the concerns raised, Sheriff Salazar maintains that the policy is necessary to improve health outcomes for detainees.
