U.S. winter outlook: NOAA predicting warmer, drier winter South, wetter North
SUMMARY: This week marks the start of fall, with early signs of mild weather ahead. Meteorologists predict a warmer and drier winter for the South due to La Niña, contrasting last year’s El Niño effects. Temperatures in October could reach the 80s, maintaining a trend of slightly above-average warmth. Rain is scarce, contributing to moderate drought conditions across most counties and leading to active burn bans. While two areas in the tropics show potential for development, the immediate forecast indicates dry conditions with increasing temperatures through the week. Enjoy the pleasant weather while it lasts, as no rain is expected soon.

Texas Supreme Court stays the execution of Robert Roberson
SUMMARY: The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the execution of Robert Robertson, following a judge’s order from Travis County. Robertson argues that his conviction for shaken baby syndrome relies on outdated science and that he is entitled to a new trial under Texas’s “junk science” law, although past appeals have failed. The Attorney General appealed the initial restraining order, which was vacated by the Criminal Court of Appeals but later reinstated by the Supreme Court. Robertson will remain on death row, and a new death warrant, if necessary, cannot be issued for at least 91 days.
The Texas Supreme Court has issued a stay order, halting the execution of Robert Roberson, according to records.
