SUMMARY: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign targeting Senate races in Texas and Florida. U.S. Rep. Colin Allred challenges incumbent Ted Cruz in Texas, while U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell opposes incumbent Rick Scott in Florida. Although both challengers lack significant name recognition, Democrats believe they are competitive. The DSCC is ramping up efforts against Cruz and Scott, highlighting their controversial votes on budgeting issues that allegedly threaten Social Security. This comes after the DSCC invested $25 million in voter outreach and a prior $79 million advertising campaign targeting key Republican states.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Greg D. provides a tropical update, tracking three systems in the Atlantic. Hurricane Isaac formed after Helen and is heading towards Europe. Tropical Storm Joyce has weakened to a tropical depression, while T12 emerges as another potential system, with the next named storm expected to be Kirk. Although these systems could develop into significant hurricanes, they currently pose no threat to the U.S. More notably, several low-pressure areas in the Gulf of Mexico and Western Caribbean could develop this week, potentially bringing rain to the Southeast by the weekend or early next week. Updates will follow as the situation evolves.

SUMMARY: There are currently four active systems in the tropics, including Tropical Depression 12 and Hurricane Isaac, with varying chances of development. A new low pressure is expected to form in the Gulf of Mexico later this week, potentially bringing rain to Florida early next week. This system is not likely to be severe, anticipated as a tropical depression or minimal hurricane, rather than a significant threat like previous storms. The Atlantic hurricane season remains active, with the possibility of new names such as Kirk, Leslie, and Milton emerging as more systems develop. Overall, forecasts predict an active season despite a previous lull.

The National Hurricane Center says there is a 50% chance for development for a tropical system located in the Caribbean.
