Texas execution: Court clears way for Robert Roberson's execution in shaken baby case
SUMMARY: A Texas appeals court has overruled a temporary block on the execution of Robert Roberson, scheduled for 6 p.m. Roberson was convicted of killing his 2-year-old daughter in 2002 and has drawn national attention, especially as lawmakers sought to subpoena him as a witness in a hearing on flawed scientific evidence in his case. Despite a Travis County Judge’s temporary restraining order, the Court of Criminal Appeals intervened, allowing the execution to proceed. Lawmakers are making a final appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, while Governor Abbott has not yet responded. The execution could happen late tonight pending developments.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed a Travis County judge’s court order that delayed the controversial execution of Robert Roberson. Roberson would be the first person in the US executed for a murder conviction tied to the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome.

U.S. winter outlook: NOAA predicting warmer, drier winter South, wetter North
SUMMARY: This week marks the start of fall, with early signs of mild weather ahead. Meteorologists predict a warmer and drier winter for the South due to La Niรฑa, contrasting last year’s El Niรฑo effects. Temperatures in October could reach the 80s, maintaining a trend of slightly above-average warmth. Rain is scarce, contributing to moderate drought conditions across most counties and leading to active burn bans. While two areas in the tropics show potential for development, the immediate forecast indicates dry conditions with increasing temperatures through the week. Enjoy the pleasant weather while it lasts, as no rain is expected soon.
NOAA says it’s time to start looking ahead to winter. Their winter outlook looks warm.
