District Attorney dismisses allegations against former MPD commander
SUMMARY: Mobile County’s District Attorney has dismissed allegations against former Mobile Police Commander Kevin Levy, who was fired this week. The DA, Keith Blackwood, stated the claims were “completely meritless” after an investigation led by attorney William AIS. The investigation looked into potential misconduct related to a contract with a Florida-based company, but Blackwood found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Levy was accused of falsifying government records regarding a draft contract, but Blackwood asserted it wasn’t a public record yet. Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson indicated Levy’s firing was linked to issues that compromised his leadership, but not a lack of confidence in his abilities.
It took William Athanas 500 hours to write a 228-page report that Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood claims bears false allegations against former Mobile Police Cmdr. Kevin Levy.

Gloomy Conditions with Isolated Coastal Showers: Saturday Morning Forecast 9/7/2024
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner from the First Alert Storm Team reports on tropical developments: a system in the Ukan Peninsula is moving north and west into the southwestern Gulf, with a medium chance of slow development, potentially bringing rain to Northeastern Mexico and Southeastern Texas. The central Atlantic shows another area with low development chances. Locally, scattered clouds and isolated showers are expected along the coast, with a 30% rain chance today. Temperatures will range between the upper 60s to mid-70s, keeping conditions cooler. Rain and cooler weather are anticipated for next week, providing relief from the summer heat.
We are starting this morning with humid but mild conditions across the Gulf Coast. Thanks to lingering cloud cover and isolated showers, we won’t get much warmer throughout the day as highs only sit in the upper-70’s and low-80’s. The majority of the showers will sit along and south of I-10. Rip current risk will be low through the end of the weekend. Sunday will bring only a few showers confined closer to the coast, but mostly cloudy skies will keep temperatures in the low-80’s. We are set to have gloomy conditions even into next week as a stationary boundary stays stalled offshore. Isolated showers and a few storms are possible through the end of the next work week. In the tropics, we are tracking a couple of areas. One is expected to move into the Bay of Campeche and has a medium chance of development over the next week. It will interact with the frontal boundary in the Gulf, and it could become a depression next week. Another area is in the central Atlantic, but it has a low chance of formation over the next seven days.
