SUMMARY: As the holidays approach, local law enforcement agencies are reminding everyone to drive sober or get pulled over. They are working to ensure that all officers are on the same page about the upcoming Christmas and New Year season, particularly with regards to the dangers of drinking and driving. Statistics show that a large percentage of road fatalities during this time involve drunk drivers, and many people do not arrange for a designated driver before drinking. One person shared a personal story about the impact of drunk driving. The message is clear: if you’re going to drink, have a designated driver. Remember to download ride sharing apps like Uber and Lyft before your holiday celebrations.

WTVA reporter Jake White speaks with Police Chief Joel Spellins about staying sober while driving this upcoming holiday season.

SUMMARY: Christian artist TobyMac reflected on his evolving music style ahead of his performance at the Brandon Amphitheater. Rooted in hip hop, R\&B, and soul, he says his sound has mellowed over time, shaped by life’s ups and downs. Though he sometimes tires of older songs like “Speak Life,” their enduring message keeps them meaningful. He continues to blend new hits like “Cornerstone” and “I Just Need You” into his setlist, skipping “Good Morning” out of respect for collaborator Mandisa. TobyMac promises fans a joyful, diverse, and unified show experience, filled with both nostalgic favorites and fresh, relevant music.

SUMMARY: Scattered afternoon storms may disrupt outdoor plans today, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and heat index values in the mid-90s. Overnight temperatures will dip to the 70s. More storms are possible tomorrow, especially in the Delta during the morning, with widespread storms expected by afternoon. A high-pressure system near Baja California will shift northward this week, reducing rain chances but increasing heat and humidity. By midweek through the weekend, isolated afternoon storms remain possible. Temperatures will rise into the mid-90s by the weekend, with real feel values reaching 105–110 degrees. Stay weather-aware and hydrated.
