SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Oscar is losing its tropical characteristics after churning over southeastern Cuba, now appearing more like a post-tropical system due to significant wind shear and merging with another system from the U.S. The Atlantic and Caribbean are currently quiet, with no new systems expected. Morning temperatures may drop to the low 40s, but highs will reach the low 80s later in the week. Fog is a concern for Wednesday morning, impacting visibility. While temperatures will warm up significantly, the next chance of rain is minimal, expected late next week with brief showers possible.

Meteorologist Devon Lucie starts off with a quick look at the latest on Oscar, its latest stats and track, then takes us home to our high resolution forecast showing you how chilly Tuesday morning will be, how warm it will be in the afternoon, how much warmer we’ll get from there, and what the fog situation will be for Wednesday morning and the rest of the days through the weekend, while ending with the seven day forecast showing when the warmest days will be, how warm, and when fog might cost us a few extra minutes on the morning drive.

SUMMARY: Bear County law enforcement agencies express concern over a new booking policy by Sheriff Javier Salazar, which delays jail intake for suspects requiring medical screening. The directive, aimed at addressing jail deaths, mandates that suspects detoxing from substances or with serious medical conditions must be evaluated at a hospital before booking. This has led to significant delays and complications for officers, with reports of suspects being released instead of booked. Smaller agencies worry that the policy jeopardizes public safety. Despite the concerns raised, Sheriff Salazar maintains that the policy is necessary to improve health outcomes for detainees.

Several area law enforcement agencies said a new directive from Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar puts public safety at risk.
