Tropics update: 4th tropical disturbance pops up in Atlantic as depression could form next week in G
SUMMARY: Attention is focused on a disturbance in the Western Caribbean, now with a 60% chance of formation. There are additional areas of interest in the Atlantic, with other disturbances showing 10% to 30% chances of development. The main system is likely to develop near the Yucatan and will be influenced by high-pressure systems and warm Gulf waters, promoting strengthening. Two potential tracks are emerging based on different models, with increasing agreement on a possible formation that could impact the Louisiana-Alabama Gulf Coast. The Storm Team will monitor and provide updates as the situation evolves throughout the week.
A fourth tropical disturbance formed in the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday, as the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season hits peak season. A tropical depression could form late next week in the Gulf of Mexico from a potential disturbance in the Caribbean Sea. If it becomes a storm, it would be known as Tropical Storm Helene, the eighth named storm of the 2024 season.

Estimated 24.6 million TV viewers watched inauguration coverage, smallest audience since 2013
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump’s second inauguration attracted 24.6 million TV viewers, the smallest audience since Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013. Viewership was lower compared to Trump’s first inauguration (30.6 million) and Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration (33.8 million). Inauguration coverage varied in length, with the extended broadcast likely lowering the average viewership as audiences tuned out over time. Fox News led with 10.3 million viewers during Trump’s swearing-in and speech, while other networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC had significantly fewer viewers. In contrast, Biden’s 2021 inauguration saw stronger viewership on CNN and MSNBC compared to Fox News.
