📰 News we're reading
• Malfunction at Billings air monitor station leads to inaccurate readings (ktvq.com) — An air quality monitor serving the Lockwood area is temporarily offline after a malfunction caused it to over-report dangerous fine particle levels, likely triggering misleading alerts on some weather apps. State technicians are still troubleshooting and expect more repairs around July 7, while nearby backup sensors and the federal AirNow Fire and Smoke Map continue to provide current smoke and air quality information for residents.
