SUMMARY: As of the 4 PM advisory, the National Hurricane Center has designated a potential tropical cyclone (likely Tropical Cyclone 8) with 45 mph winds, moving northwest at 7 mph. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for parts of South and North Carolina, with heavy rainfall and flash flooding risks expected. Rainfall may reach 3 to 7 inches in some areas. Additionally, depression Gordon poses no threat to the Gulf Coast. Meanwhile, scattered showers and storms will persist in the region, with a 60% chance of rain expected tomorrow. Temperatures are projected to rise by the end of the week.

Scattered showers and storms will continue through tonight and into Monday. Training showers could lead to isolated flash flooding especially in low lying and urban areas. Into tonight, temperatures will only drop into the low-70’s thanks to lingering rain and cloud cover. Highs will only be able to reach into the low- to mid-80’s on Monday for the same reason. Scattered showers and a few storms will be possible throughout the day with the best chances in the afternoon and evening. Rip current risk will remain low at our local beaches. Tuesday will bring more scattered showers, but rain chances will begin to fall late Tuesday and into Wednesday as the front and area of low pressure dive south out of the area. As rain chances drop and we see a lot more sunshine to end the week, highs will climb back to around 90 degrees by Friday. In the tropics, we continue to track Gordon and Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight. Gordon is a tropical depression and is several hundred miles east of the Windward and Leeward Islands. It will see fluctuations in strength and will eventually move north. It does not pose a threat to our area. The other area to watch is off the coast of GA and the Carolinas, and it is now Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight. It is expected to bring heavy rainfall leading to the possibility of flooding especially closer to the coast, and gusty winds and rough surf are likely along the portions of the east coast. It also does not pose a threat to the News 5 area or the Gulf Coast.

SUMMARY: Tori’s Treasures, a Mobile-based nonprofit led by President Tori Bell, has opened a pet pantry on St. Andrew’s Street near Port City Pups to assist pet owners in need. The pantry offers free pet food, targeting a community where many people walk dogs on the streets. Beyond food aid, the nonprofit addresses pet overpopulation and abandonment issues by pairing animals with foster homes. Donations have allowed the organization to cover vet bills and rescue animals like Maverick, a severely injured dog found on the roadside, ultimately helping him find a forever home and avoiding overcrowded shelters.
