SUMMARY: The newly drawn congressional district two is expected to significantly increase voter turnout compared to other safe districts. Its potential impact on the makeup of the House has attracted considerable attention and funding, with national figures like Eric Holder campaigning for the Democratic candidate. Although Alabama lacks early voting, the excitement surrounding this race is likely to drive more residents to the polls. Factors like strong advertising and visible community involvement, such as neighbors voting and displaying yard signs, will further motivate voters, fostering a sense that their votes matter in this pivotal election.

Another Cold Night, Dry but Warmer Sunday: Saturday Evening Forecast 11/23/2024

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner reports a chilly forecast with overnight lows dropping into the mid to upper 30s, even hitting 38°F in Mobile, which is below average. Clear skies and calm winds will lead to radiational cooling, resulting in patchy frost in some areas. A frost advisory is in effect for several counties. Tomorrow will bring warmer temperatures in the 70s with increasing clouds and dry conditions until a weak cold front on Tuesday introduces slight rain chances. By Thursday, a significant front could bring scattered showers and a cool down by the weekend, with lows dipping back into the 30s.

After a chilly start, it stayed cool this afternoon with lots of sunshine. Overnight, a frost advisory is still in place for our northern spots as lows will drop into the mid-30’s. Areas closer to the coast will see lows in the low- to mid-40’s. Winds will be calm to start the day on Sunday, but we will switch to a south wind bringing more warmth and moisture to the area. Highs will be warmer in the low-70’s. Rip current risk will remain low through the start of the next work week. We will be even warmer for Monday ahead of our next front. We will see that front pass through our area on Tuesday bringing the chance for a few showers. It will likely stall south of the area and dissipate, but it will still bring a brief shower chance on Wednesday. Finally on Thanksgiving Thursday, another front will swing through the area bringing a chance for scattered showers and storms later in the day. After that front passes, temperatures will likely take a tumble into next weekend.

SUMMARY: The International Trade Commission has imposed tariffs on seafood from Indonesia, Ecuador, India, and Vietnam, following findings that these imports were harming America’s shrimp industry. Local shrimpers, facing competition from cheaper foreign shrimp, hope the tariffs will level the playing field. Indonesia’s shrimp will face an anti-dumping tariff, while shrimp from the other countries will face countervailing duties. This decision is part of a broader effort to support U.S. seafood, including Alabama’s recent seafood labeling law requiring clear identification of domestic versus imported products. The ITC’s final report is expected in January.
