Kamala Harris endorsed by Biden, other top Democrats
SUMMARY: Vice President Kamala Harris has announced her bid for the presidency, following President Biden’s decision not to seek re-election. In her statement, she expressed gratitude for Biden’s leadership and pledged to earn the Democratic nomination. Political analysts suggest Harris needs to quickly reintroduce herself to voters, particularly younger and minority demographics. Key tasks include selecting a strong vice presidential running mate, capitalizing on the existing Biden-Harris campaign infrastructure, and stabilizing the party after recent turmoil. However, she faces challenges, including expected criticisms of her handling of the border crisis, which could dominate Republican attacks during the campaign.
Vice President Kamala Harris received the endorsement of President Joe Biden and several other top Democrats after the announcement that Biden would end his presidential campaign. FOX 4’s Shaun Rabb talks to political scientist Cal Jillson about Harris’ future, including potential running mates if she gets the presidential nomination.

Austin becoming FEMA-approved emergency alert authority, planning 1st test alert
SUMMARY: On Monday, Sept. 29, Austin will conduct a test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), becoming a FEMA-approved alerting authority able to send emergency alerts via Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) to cell phones and Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages to TV and radio. This coordinated test at 3 p.m. will cover the city across its three counties—Travis, Hays, and Williamson. The alerts will clearly indicate a test and require no action. IPAWS allows authenticated, geotargeted emergency notifications without subscription, enhancing public safety communication. More details are available at ReadyCentralTexas.org and Ready.gov/alerts.

SUMMARY: For the first time this year, La Niña is now forecast to last throughout the entire winter, with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center giving it a 54% chance for December-February. Previously, ENSO Neutral was favored for winter. La Niña occurs when sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific are 0.5ºC below average, typically pushing the Pacific Jet Stream north, causing drier, warmer conditions in the southern U.S. and wetter areas in the Pacific Northwest. Last winter, a weak La Niña brought a record warm December but cooler January-February, below-average rainfall, snow in Austin, and more freezes than normal. Another mild La Niña winter is expected for Central Texas.
