The 70s return for the rest of the work week as high pressure slips offshore. Shower chances return Friday into the weekend as a cold front moves through the area, turning us cooler for Sunday and into next week.
Rest of the work week: 70s return, showers to follow
After a fairly warm day (away from the coast, anyway, where temperatures ran some 10°+ cooler), we'll turn even warmer on Wednesday as high pressure slips offshore, pumping in warmer air from the south and southwest. Wednesday starts around 50° with perhaps a few patches of fog, and we'll warm well into the low-to-mid-70s under a mix of sun and clouds.

I’m a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, and I’m furious. While a Coast Guardsman was missing at sea, Secretary Kristi Noem tried to pull aircraft from the search, and her team threatened Coast Guard flight crews over a heated blanket. Reckless. Disgraceful. Kristi Noem is unfit for public office.

The bottom line is the most effective way to address any of these problems is for Democrats like me to win in November.

They can kick you off & NOT TELL YOU!
Then when you show up, they say “you’re not registered”.
If your state’s registration deadline has passed- YOU DON’T VOTE!
If not & you don’t have all your papers- YOU DON’T VOTE!

Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No!
I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary.
Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.
