SUMMARY: Hurricane Kirk has rapidly intensified to a Category 3 storm, while Tropical Storm Leslie has also been named. Both storms are not expected to threaten the U.S., with Kirk tracking west-northwest and keeping a safe distance from the East Coast. Leslie may also strengthen into a Category 1 or 2 hurricane by the weekend. Meanwhile, an area of disturbed weather is moving toward the Gulf of Mexico, with a low chance of developing into a tropical system. A cold front will bring slightly cooler air next week, leading to more fall-like weather, with highs around 87°F tomorrow.

SUMMARY: In the Spring Hill area of Mobile, several owl attacks have raised concerns among residents, particularly runners. Reports indicate about six incidents in the past month, with wildlife experts explaining that the owls are protecting their habitats rather than being aggressive. One runner, Wade Sten Meer, experienced an unsettling encounter when an owl clawed at him while jogging. Other runners have faced similar incidents, with hats taken and minor scratches reported. Alabama wildlife officials state that the increase in owl activity is linked to the breeding season and emphasize the importance of educating the public to coexist safely with these birds.

Owl attacks along Springhill Avenue and Old Shell Road in the past month have left residents worried that they could be the next target.
