SUMMARY: The Atlantic hurricane season is entering its busiest three months—August, September, and October—with activity expected to increase significantly. Currently, Tropical Storm Dexter has winds of 45 mph and gusts up to 60 mph but is not expected to become a hurricane. Two other areas are being monitored for potential development: one with a 50% chance of forming into the next named storm, Aaron, and another near Georgia and South Carolina with a 30% chance. The 2025 season is forecast to be above average, with 13 to 19 named storms, 6 to 10 hurricanes, and 3 to 5 major hurricanes expected. A new forecast update is due Thursday.

We have entered August, which means we are in the most active three months of the year for hurricanes.

SUMMARY: The man convicted for the 2018 Antioch Waffle House mass shooting, Travis Ranking, is requesting a new trial. His defense attorneys argue he was legally insane during the shooting and unable to form intent for first-degree murder. Currently serving life in prison, Ranking’s defense claims he was denied a fair chance to present evidence of his mental illness. Prosecutors maintain the attack was calculated, not due to insanity. Mental health experts testified Ranking suffers from schizophrenia and neurocognitive deficits, describing him as delusional and paranoid, believing Waffle House patrons were CIA operatives targeting him.
