SUMMARY: In a lively discussion, the hosts celebrate the arrival of the Christmas season, now just 23 days away. They share their excitement for holiday traditions, including peppermint mochas and festive socks. The weather forecast predicts chilly temperatures, with lows reaching 9 to 11 degrees below average through the week. Although some areas face patchy frost, the Gulf Coast remains milder. High pressure building in will bring clear skies, and a warm front is expected to introduce rain later in the week. The hosts encourage viewers to enjoy the seasonal changes and beautiful winter sunsets.

A dry cold front passed through the area today, and this will set the stage for a couple more chilly mornings and a cool Tuesday afternoon on the Gulf Coast. Tonight, we will keep clear skies with lows dropping into the mid-30’s along I-10, low-30’s in our inland spots, and around 40 along the coast. We will keep mostly sunny skies on Tuesday with high pressure in place keeping us dry. Highs will sit in the mid- to upper-70’s. That area of high pressure will shift southeast bringing a south wind on Wednesday. This will increase warmth and moisture ahead of our next rain chance on Thursday. Thursday morning will start in the 50’s, and highs will warm into the mid-60’s for the middle of the week. This showers and storms will be ahead of a front that will eventually pass Thursday and bring drier conditions for Friday with highs in the 50’s and lows in the 40’s. More chances for showers and storms return for next weekend and to start the next work week.

SUMMARY: The CEO of Oak View Group (OVG), hired to manage Mobile’s new arena, was indicted on federal conspiracy charges linked to bid-rigging in another city. Despite this, Mobile officials say the arena project remains unaffected and on schedule for early 2027 completion. OVG secured a 22-year contract in February to manage the new Mobile Arena, the Mobile Convention Center, and the Saenger Theatre, receiving $400,000 annually for operations, maintenance, and event booking. The City of Mobile confirmed no bidding was involved in contract selection, and a local OVG team now oversees these venues.

The head of the company hired to manage the new Mobile Arena is facing federal charges.
