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.

SUMMARY: Public health officials in Alabama are warning about a rise in whooping cough cases, particularly at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa. Dr. Karen Landers from the Alabama Department of Public Health explains that the illness, although old, is resurfacing and can cause severe symptoms, especially in infants and the elderly. Adults should also be aware, as the disease can be severe for those with other health issues. Dr. Colleen Toby Donahue emphasizes the importance of staying up to date on vaccinations and contacting a doctor if symptoms occur. Preventative measures, such as handwashing and staying home when sick, are critical.

It is colloquially known as whooping cough, but doctors know it as pertussis. Confirmed cases of the disease have been reported at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama in Huntsville, so doctors are urging Alabamians to stay aware.
