SUMMARY: The tropics are active, with a new area to monitor as we approach the end of the week. While we don’t expect it to develop into a significant storm like Hurricane Helen, the potential for a weak low pressure system exists. Rain is likely by Thursday and Friday, with moisture lingering in the Gulf through the weekend. Models are uncertain, but there’s a 50/50 chance of a tropical depression or storm forming. Meanwhile, other tropical systems, including Hurricanes Isaac and Joyce, are developing. October is historically busy for hurricanes, and we will continue monitoring conditions closely.

We kick off the week and last day of September with warm and dry weather. The next few days stay dry with warm afternoons near 90 degrees.

By Thursday, tropical moisture moves in from the Gulf of Mexico leading to scattered rain and storms Thursday and Friday. As increasing moisture and disturbed weather enters the Gulf this week, further development is possible which is something that will need to be monitored all this week. So far, the big global models are backing down on developing anything significant which is a good thing. It is too soon to know what will play out so be sure to stay tuned. At this point, plan for more rain and storms on Thursday and Friday, with some lingering showers into early next weekend. It may be occasionally breezy too later this week with high temperatures in the low to mid 80s.

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.
