SUMMARY: In the tropics, two areas are being monitored, with one just emerging from Africa and another closer to the islands, which has a 50% chance of development. By Monday, lower pressure may affect the islands, and by next Wednesday, a tropical wave could reach the central Caribbean, although models vary on its strength. A rainy weekend is anticipated, with localized flooding possible, though widespread flooding is unlikely. Temperatures will be in the 80s, and next week is expected to see decreasing rain chances and increasing temperatures. The situation will be closely observed as September approaches.

Overall, there aren’t any significant threats in the tropics, but there are a few areas to watch in the Atlantic Ocean.

The first is just off the Louisiana coast, where a large area of disturbed weather is expected to linger through Labor Day Weekend. Over the weekend, showers and thunderstorms will sit over the western Gulf waters. It wouldn’t be impossible for a weak low pressure to form as we head into the weekend and early next week. Regardless, this tropical moisture will bring rounds of heavy rain to Louisiana through the weekend.

The second is in the central Atlantic Ocean, and it won’t do anything very quickly. However, it’s something the Caribbean Islands should keep an eye on until early next week.

A second area following behind will be watched long term, but it just rolled off Africa, so it’s not an immediate threat to anyone.

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.

SUMMARY: Chilly air has settled in, and temperatures are expected to drop further tonight and into the weekend. Chief meteorologist Chris Franklin reports that temperatures will be a few degrees colder, with widespread 30s on the North Shore and 50s in the metro area. Clear skies have resulted in high temperatures staying below average, with daytime highs in the 60s. The colder air might allow North Shore areas to reach the 30s and create patchy frost by Saturday morning. Chris will provide updates on how long this cold spell will last as Thanksgiving approaches.
