SUMMARY: The Hurricane Center is monitoring a system with high development risk, potentially moving into the Gulf of Mexico. However, conditions are not ideal for tropical activity in November, as the Gulf’s warmer waters are shallow and supportive weather patterns are diminishing. By next week, increasing wind shear and dry air will create an inhospitable environment for any tropical systems. While there’s unlikely to be significant tropical development, some beneficial moisture could arrive, providing much-needed rain as the region transitions into later fall and winter months.

Chief meteorologist Chris Franklin says the National Hurricane Center highlight two areas of ‘high-risk’ development in the tropics.

SUMMARY: A new vending machine for Narcan, designed to reverse opioid overdoses, was unveiled at Rise Recovery’s Charlie Naylor campus in San Antonio. This initiative is crucial as Bear County has seen a rise in fatal overdoses, outpacing the Texas state average. San Antonio’s Chief Mental Health Officer, Jesse Higgins, emphasized the need for accessibility to Narcan, which is 80% effective if administered within five minutes of an overdose. While Narcan is available over-the-counter for about $45, this vending machine provides it for free at 2803 Moss Rock, promoting proactive measures in overdose prevention.

San Antonio now has its first Narcan vending machine, and it’s free.
