SUMMARY: Tropical storm Gordon is moving west in the Atlantic but does not threaten the Gulf Coast. Another non-tropical low near Georgia may develop subtropical characteristics, posing a medium chance for heavy rain and gusty winds along the East Coast. The remnants of tropical storm Francine will bring isolated flash flooding risks to parts of the region, especially northern areas. Tomorrow, a 40% chance of showers and storms is expected, leading to cooler temperatures in the mid-80s. Rain chances will persist into early next week before drier air arrives, raising temperatures again toward the week’s end.

Isolated showers will be possible into this evening, and brief showers will be possible overnight. Lows will sit at around 70 degrees with partly cloudy skies. Sunday will stay with morning isolated showers, and they will become a bit more scattered into the afternoon and evening. Thanks to extra clouds and shower chances, highs will only reach into the mid-80’s for most spots. This is thanks to an area of low pressure that was Francine and an associated boundary diving south closer to the News 5 area. They will bring higher rain chances for Monday and more scattered showers and a few brief storms for Tuesday as well. Rain chances will slowly drop late Tuesday and into Thursday as the front moves offshore. Highs will sit in the low- to mid-80’s through Wednesday before warming back to more seasonable temperatures by the weekend. In the tropics, we continue to track Gordon and one other area. Gordon is a tropical storm and is several hundred miles east of the Windward and Leeward Islands. It will see fluctuations in strength and will eventually move north. It does not pose a threat to our area. The other area to watch is off the coast of GA and the Carolinas. It could form subtropical characteristics or become a depression before pushing inland, but regardless it will bring windy conditions to that area as well as rough surf and downpours. It also does not pose a threat.

SUMMARY: Public health officials in Alabama are warning about a rise in whooping cough cases, particularly at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa. Dr. Karen Landers from the Alabama Department of Public Health explains that the illness, although old, is resurfacing and can cause severe symptoms, especially in infants and the elderly. Adults should also be aware, as the disease can be severe for those with other health issues. Dr. Colleen Toby Donahue emphasizes the importance of staying up to date on vaccinations and contacting a doctor if symptoms occur. Preventative measures, such as handwashing and staying home when sick, are critical.

It is colloquially known as whooping cough, but doctors know it as pertussis. Confirmed cases of the disease have been reported at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama in Huntsville, so doctors are urging Alabamians to stay aware.
