New Tariffs Could Raise Car Prices | April 2, 2025 | News 19 at 10 p.m.

SUMMARY: A 25% tariff on foreign cars and auto parts is set to take effect at midnight, potentially raising prices for consumers. While current inventory and cars already at U.S. ports will remain at existing prices, future pricing remains uncertain. Dealerships in North Alabama say it’s too early to know the full impact, but warn that repair costs may also rise due to higher parts prices. Some manufacturers may absorb part of the tariff, while others could pass the full cost to buyers—raising a $30,000 car to nearly $40,000. Dealerships report a recent surge in buyers trying to purchase before prices rise.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Brylee Brown explains why thunderstorms are more common in summer than winter in her “Weather Fun 1-on-1” segment. Joined by Aidan, they conduct an experiment using two bowls of air at different temperatures. The warm air inflates a balloon, demonstrating that warm air is less dense and rises, while cold air causes the balloon to deflate. This principle helps explain why summer afternoons often bring air mass thunderstorms, as humid, warm air is abundant. In winter, less warm air means these storms are rare.
