SUMMARY: There’s a small chance of tropical development in the central Atlantic, but it’s still a long way off with a 20% likelihood of becoming a tropical depression within the next 3-7 days. Even if it develops, it won’t impact the Labor Day weekend as it’s over 2000 miles away. Locally, temperatures are expected to reach the mid-90s, with some scattered showers possible, especially in the middle of the week. Rain chances will increase Wednesday through Friday but are expected to decrease by Labor Day. Despite high temperatures, the forecast indicates limited rain, making for a generally warm weekend.

Meteorologist Devon Lucie starts with an overview of what’s ahead for high temperatures and rain chances over the next 5 days while jumping ahead to the entire Labor Day Weekend forecast, then takes us through the next two days letting you know how hot we’ll be and when and where storms are most likely before rounding out the high resolution forecast with the forecast for clouds and rain through the rest of the weekend and the holiday weekend, while finishing up with a look at the tropics where there might be the potential of some development by Labor Day Monday.

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.
