Tropical Storm Francine's path
SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Francine has formed in the Gulf of Mexico and is rapidly strengthening, with hurricane hunters reporting a drop in pressure down to 995 millibars. Currently at 50 mph winds, it is expected to become a hurricane, potentially reaching Category 1 or even Category 2 strength before making landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday.

The storm is anticipated to bring life-threatening storm surges of 5 to 10 feet and heavy rainfall, particularly across Louisiana. Coastal flooding is also expected.
Francine is now a tropical storm. FOX 4’s Dylan Federico takes a look at the storm’s path, how strong it will get and where we expect it to make landfall.

Texas win over Michigan establishes Longhorns as national title contender | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: The UT football team ascended to number two in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll following a decisive victory over the tenth-ranked Michigan Wolverines. Unlike last year’s significant win against Alabama, this triumph demonstrates UT’s establishment as a top contender in college football. Players emphasized their confidence and preparation for the challenge, successfully handing Michigan its first home loss in nearly two years. Andrew Makuba highlighted the team’s relentless defensive effort and unity. Moving forward, the focus is on maintaining this intensity against upcoming games against unranked opponents UTSA and Louisiana Monroe.
It was a statement win from UT at the Big House in Ann Arbor and as FOX 7 Sports Director Dennis de la Pena shows, it’s a win that that the Sark’s third year program is stepping up in weight class.
