SUMMARY: The Southeast is still recovering from the impacts of hurricanes, particularly in Florida and Tennessee. Trevor Riggen from the American Red Cross reports severe storm surge, tornado damage, power outages, and destroyed homes. He emphasizes the importance of appropriate local aid; donations should only be made if there’s direct contact with affected communities to avoid overwhelming them. Monetary donations and volunteering are recommended, as they allow the Red Cross to purchase necessary items, like blankets, for those without power. Challenges include a shortage of blood donations and repeated damage in areas previously affected by hurricanes.

Communities nationwide still feel the effects of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump is expected to reverse the Biden administration’s decision to move Space Command headquarters from Huntsville, Alabama, to Colorado Springs. U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, expressed confidence in this reversal and anticipates construction in Huntsville starting next year. He criticized Biden’s original decision as politically motivated, emphasizing Alabama’s strong qualifications for hosting Space Command. While Colorado Governor Jared Polis asserted that Colorado remains the rightful location due to its military assets, Rogers noted minimal opposition from House Democrats during discussions on the matter.

SUMMARY: The weekend weather forecast for Central Alabama is sunny and dry, with mild temperatures in the 70s. However, a cold front is expected to bring rain chances by early next week, starting Monday night into Tuesday. Tropical Storm Sarah is weakening as it moves into the Yucatan, but its moisture may influence weather patterns in the southern Gulf and be pulled northward by the upcoming front. After the front passes, colder temperatures and breezy conditions will prevail, resulting in chilly wind chills by the end of next week. Overall, expect cool mornings and nice weekend weather before the changes.
