SUMMARY: Over the weekend, around 140 high school students attended the “Keys to Drive” event at Coastal Alabama Community College to learn about responsible driving. The event featured Mike Lutsen Kirkin, who shared the story of his son, Philip, a former Auburn athlete who died in a car crash in 2014. Inspired by this tragedy, the 43 Key Seconds initiative encourages drivers to take 43 seconds to ensure safety measures are in place. Students participated in various workshops on safe driving, including experiences with simulators and insight into trauma centers. Many left inspired to prioritize safety on the road.

SUMMARY: Alabama is experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures, reaching 80 degrees in Birmingham, with a gradual evening drop to 72 and later 60 degrees overnight. This marks the 29th consecutive day without measurable rain, contributing to severe drought across much of the state. Next week, temperatures will remain above average early on, but a cold front expected Thursday night will bring a slight drop. Rain chances may arise during Halloween, primarily in northwestern Alabama, but overall conditions should allow for Halloween festivities. By Friday, temperatures will start in the lower 60s, with improved weather expected afterward.

Alabama remains warm and dry to start the week, but some rain chances return Halloween to end the work week
