SUMMARY: This week, tropical weather is calm with no significant impacts expected locally. Rain chances will start off higher but decrease as temperatures rise. While Tropical Depression Gordon churns in the Atlantic, it is likely to remain out at sea, causing potential rain along the Southeastern US coast, particularly in areas like Myrtle Beach and Charleston. Locally, expect scattered storms mainly on the coast. Morning temperatures will be mild, with highs around 88°F by midweek. Overall, anticipate a quiet weather week ahead, although some isolated storms may occur Monday and Tuesday, before a return to drier conditions.

Meteorologist Devon Lucie walks us through the week ahead with rain chances the next two days, when and where they’re most likely and how hot you’ll be, then takes us into the extended forecast where a bubble of high pressure begins to take over reducing our rain chances and allowing our high temps to creep up a little further, while also covering what’s shaping up in the tropics with our newest system that’s formed off the coast of the Southeastern U.S. showing where it’s headed and what it will bring and also takes a glance at Tropical Depression Gordon that’s churning over the open waters in the Atlantic, while finishing up with the seven day forecast highlighting the rain chances over the next seven days, high temperatures, and any other weather impacts such as patchy fog you might run into in the morning.

SUMMARY: A bipartisan bill, the Protecting Students on Campus Act, has been reintroduced by Senators Bill Cassidy and John Fetterman to protect Jewish students from harassment on college campuses. It would require universities to communicate civil rights complaint procedures, report the number of complaints received, and disclose actions taken. The bill comes in response to rising antisemitism, with reports showing 25% of Jewish students feeling unsafe on campus in 2023. Endorsed by the AJC and ADL, the bill seeks to improve transparency, hold universities accountable, and provide a safer learning environment for students, especially following the October 7 Hamas attack.
