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 Niรฑa, contrasting last year’s El Niรฑo 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.
NOAA says it’s time to start looking ahead to winter. Their winter outlook looks warm.

Texas Supreme Court blocks execution of Robert Roberson
SUMMARY: The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily stayed the execution of Robert Robertson, accused of shaking his baby to death over 20 years ago. His supporters argue that the evidence against him is flawed, especially after autopsy findings revealed that his daughter Nikki had pneumonia and had been prescribed opioids at the time of her death. Earlier today, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed a restraining order halting the execution just 90 minutes before it was scheduled. Lawmakers are urging the court to reconsider, raising concerns about justice and the possibility of executing an innocent man. The duration of the stay remains uncertain.
The Texas Supreme Court issued a stay order in the execution of Robert Roberson. He had been scheduled to be put to death on Thursday.
