SUMMARY: October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, highlighting the struggles of millions affected by this silent crisis. Ronell Golden, a survivor of domestic violence, has transformed her trauma into advocacy. She created the “Getting Guide,” a resource for those seeking safety and support. In a recent interview, Golden emphasized the need for self-awareness in recognizing abuse in relationships. She outlines steps for individuals to assess their lives, identify vulnerable areas, and build sustainability before leaving abusive situations. Her story embodies strength and hope, aiming to empower others to break free from cycles of abuse. Further resources are available on KPRC 2’s website.

For Domestic Violence Awareness Month, our Re’Chelle Turner introduces us to a woman who created a “Getting Out” Guide for domestic abuse victims who want to escape their situation, but may not be sure how to start.

SUMMARY: Good Wednesday afternoon, San Antonio! Meteorologist Mia Montgomery reports another hot day in South Central Texas with plenty of sunshine and a high around 94 degrees, slightly cooler than recent record-setting temperatures but still above the average of 86 for early October. Tonight, temps will drop into the 80s after dinner and later into the 70s under clear skies. The 90s are likely to persist into the weekend and early next week, with a 20% chance of isolated rain this Saturday and Sunday due to a weak disturbance. Low temperatures will remain in the upper 60s to near 70.

It’s officially October, but high temperatures haven’t gotten the message! 90s continue for the foreseeable future, with just an isolated rain chance in the forecast this weekend. Here’s an update with Mia.
