SUMMARY: Several University of Alabama students have been arrested for their involvement in fraternity hazing incidents at the Pi Kappa Phi house in August. Court records indicate a pledge was shoved, and in another incident, the same pledge and others faced intimidation, including being yelled at, stepped on, had items thrown at them, and beer poured on them. Four students, including Christopher Merlino, Joshua Ferritto, Charles Gray, and Grant Rakers, failed to report the hazing. The university has stated that hazing is strictly prohibited and that it thoroughly investigates such allegations.

SUMMARY: Tonight in Alabama is marked by chilly temperatures around 40°F, with a notable supermoon—specifically the Hunter Moon—peaking at 6:26 a.m. The moon appears brighter and larger due to its proximity to Earth. A frost advisory is in effect for northern Alabama, advising residents to protect sensitive plants as temperatures may drop to 34°F by morning. Wind chills will lead to feels-like temperatures in the 30s. Warmer weather is on the horizon, with highs reaching the mid-70s over the weekend and lower 80s by next week. Dress warmly if out late tonight or early tomorrow.
