And then the televisions went dark

A single lightning strike knocked virtually every major broadcast television network in Utah off the air for a while Sunday night.

The lightning bolt struck a broadcast tower that is shared by a group of stations called DTV Utah. The blast knocked all of the stations that use the tower off the air, except for a FOX station that has its own tower not far from the one that was hit.

The affected stations remained off the air for about an hour.

Mild temperatures, plenty of clouds, maybe a little rain

Wondering what the weather will be like in the Wichita area? Just take Monday’s conditions and hit the “repeat” button.

Mild temperatures, cloudy skies and maybe a few sprinkles are expected today, forecasters say. Highs will be in the upper 70s or low 80s, with light winds in the single digits out of the east or northeast.

Sunshine is currently expected to return late in the week, forecasters say, but temperatures will continue to hover in the low 80s.
