SUMMARY: Meteorologist Grant Skinner reports that tropical storm Sarah is weakening over the Yucatan Peninsula and will become a non-tropical system. Moisture from an upper-level trough will fuel showers and storms by Tuesday. A warm day is expected, with southeast winds drawing in moisture, leading to light showers by lunchtime. Heavy rainfall and storms are forecast from late Monday into Tuesday, potentially causing flash flooding, particularly along the I-65 corridor and coastal areas. A high surf advisory and small craft warnings are in effect. After the front passes, cooler temperatures in the 40s are expected by the week’s end.

Clouds have started to slowly build into the News 5 area today, and temperatures were a bit warmer. Warmth and moisture continue to push into the area thanks to a switch to a southeast wind, so overnight lows will be a bit warmer again tonight in the upper-50’s and low-60’s. Since high tide will be just past midnight, and winds will be increased out of the southeast, some minor coastal flooding is possible especially along the causeway. More scattered cloud cover will be in place for Monday, and highs will push to near 80°. Rip current risk will be high for the first half of the week. Starting late Monday, showers and storms will begin to push into the region. Remnants of Sara will bring increased moisture to the area Tuesday morning fueling these storms. These will continue through Tuesday evening with the best coverage Tuesday morning through midday. Isolated flash flooding is the biggest threat with these storms, but isolated wind gusts and a brief tornado can not be ruled out. This is all ahead of a cold front, and once this cold front passes Wednesday, temperatures will begin to cool down. We will drop into the 40’s for our lows for the back half of the week with highs in the 60’s.

SUMMARY: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), a Republican-backed federal budget proposal, would significantly widen inequality and raise the national debt by \$3.3 trillion over a decade, largely due to extended Trump-era tax cuts. While wealthier families gain the most, cuts to programs like Medicaid and SNAP would disproportionately hurt low-income households, especially in states like Alabama. Experts warn the bill shifts costs to states, threatens rural economies reliant on federal aid, and imposes work requirements that could cause millions to lose benefits. Critics argue these changes prioritize tax breaks over family welfare and burden the poor with bureaucratic hurdles.

SUMMARY: Florida soccer coach Jonah Hammond lost a bet with his team and treated them to a spa day, including pedicures. During a tournament game, Hammond challenged his players to score goals with rewards: two goals meant a pizza party, three goals ice cream, four goals Chick-fil-A, and five goals pedicures. Despite a poor first half, the team rallied to win 7-0, surpassing the goals and earning the expensive treat. The final bill totaled about $600 for 15 players. Months later, the team enjoyed their nails painted, with the coach’s motivational gamble clearly paying off in spirit and results.

What began as a simple incentive quickly turned into a $600 nail salon tab after the Rip City Surf 07 girls’ club soccer team scored seven goals, winning a bet placed by head coach Jona Hammond.
