No phones at the polls: Key electronic rules every Texas voter needs to know
SUMMARY: Strong early voting turnout has been reported for the November 5th election, with voters encouraged to find their nearest polling location via a QR code. Before heading to the polls, it’s essential to know some rules: voters must be registered and present a valid photo ID, with seven accepted forms listed on the website. Notably, electronic devices like phones and cameras are prohibited inside polling places, as per Texas law. However, printed notes and sample ballots are allowed. For questions about voting regulations, reach out to KPRC2’s Candace Burns via email or through the help desk.
Early voting is now underway for the November 5th election, giving registered voters a chance to cast their ballots before Election Day. Early voting is a great way to avoid the crowds and make the process more convenient, but there are important rules to know before heading to the polls.

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.
