Florida braces for tropical downpours as system tracks toward Gulf of Mexico
SUMMARY: A tropical wave is currently over Puerto Rico and heading toward the Dominican Republic, bringing potential flooding rains. Although the system is weak due to being wrapped in Saharan dust, it is forecasted to track westward over land before entering the Gulf of Mexico, suggesting increased rain potential by late this weekend into next week. While models indicate it may slow down and possibly stall, leading to significant rainfallโpotentially over a foot in some areasโforecasting its intensity and track remains uncertain. Overall, heavy rain and flooding risks are likely as the system approaches the Gulf Coast.
The philosophy of the models of where the tropical wave would track featured a days-long consensus that it would most likely track into the Atlantic, but as of Thursday, models have shifted to the Gulf of Mexico, in general agreement.

National Political Headlines
SUMMARY: In a discussion on House and Senate races, ABC News political director Rick Klein notes the tight competition between Republicans and Democrats, suggesting the presidential winner will likely influence House control. Key battlegrounds include races in New York, New Jersey, California, and Florida. The Senate landscape appears challenging for Democrats, who hold a slim 51-49 majority but face threats in states like West Virginia and must defend seats in traditionally red states. Polls indicate a close presidential race, emphasizing Pennsylvania as a critical tipping point. The upcoming ABC debate is anticipated to be significant for both campaigns.
ABC News Political Director and Washington Bureau Chief Rick Klein joins us. We discuss the Presidential race, polls, and the control of Congress and which way it’s bending may determine the power of the next President.
