SUMMARY: This week will feel summery as a potential tropical Cyclone 18 in the Southern Caribbean is expected to gain strength, likely becoming Tropical Storm Raphael. It currently has sustained winds of 35 mph and is moving north at 6 mph. By Wednesday, it could reach category 1 hurricane strength while moving near western Cuba and then into the Gulf of Mexico. As it approaches, it is expected to weaken to a tropical storm due to high pressure, drier air, and increased wind shear. Higher rain chances are anticipated later in the week, but experts believe it won’t be a major concern.

Meteorologist Alexa Trischler says the tropical system is expected to weaken as it enters the Gulf of Mexico.

SUMMARY: The state may be planning another sweep of unhoused individuals in downtown, as notices were recently distributed requiring them to leave within 24 hours, warning of potential legal action for noncompliance. The flyers provide information about shelters and mention possible relocation to an encampment. Council member Leslie Harris suggested these orders originated from the state, despite productive discussions on homelessness. She noted that previous sweeps caused case managers to lose contact with over 63 residents who were close to being housed. Inquiries to Governor Landry and State Police have yet to receive a response.
