Storm Team 3: Nice Start to the Week, Hurricane Season is Officially Underway, Rain Chances Return Mid-Week
Nice Weather in the Short-Term
Pleasant weather will continue tonight with temperatures in the 60s for your Monday morning. Skies will clear out overnight.
Calm winds give way to a light southeasterly breeze by the afternoon. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s and lower 90s under a few clouds from time to time.
Changes Ahead
Warmth and humidity increase gradually through the week ahead of a stalling frontal boundary. Between that and a developing disturbance over Florida, rain chances will return by midweek.
Some uncertainty remains on if a low pressure develops and where it tracks. This will help determine coverage of rainfall and specific timing.
Either way, daily storm chances are back beginning Wednesday for the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry.
Morning low temperatures gradually moderate to the lower-70s while afternoons will reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. Heat index values will reach into the low-100s.
Hurricane Season Has Begun
The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season is underway. The list of names this year is recycled from 2019 with the only new addition being Dexter, in place of Dorian. Dorian was retired due to the devastating impact on The Bahamas.
Typical areas to watch for development in June are close to home, in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf, and far-western Atlantic Ocean.
June, especially in recent memory, typically sees short-lived, weaker activity. By July, the Caribbean usually becomes too hostile to sustain tropical systems.
The bulk of the season's activity occurs between August 15 and October 15, so remember that we have a long way to go!

Rangers activate outfielder Evan Carter off the 10-day injured list after quad strain
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Texas Rangers activated outfielder Evan Carter from the injured list Tuesday ahead of their series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays. Carter had been on the IL since May 18 with a strained right quad. 'Evan gives us speed, he gives us defense, discipline at the plate,' Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. 'He's a good hitter. Just makes us a little bit more dimensional. 'It's good to have him back. We saw what he can do back in '23 when we brought him up.' The 22-year-old Carter made his major league debut against the Rays at Tropicana Field in the 2023 playoffs. He returns to a completely different situation. The Rays are playing at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa this season, and Carter has been struggling with injuries and is trying to find his footing in the majors. After his stuggles at the plate persisted though spring training, he started this season in the minors. He hit .221 in 21 games in Triple-A and all of his extra base hits — three homers, two triples and two doubles — came in the 14 games before being called up May 6. In his 11 MLB games before going on the IL, Carter hit .182 with a homer and three RBIs. ___ AP MLB:

Former University of Michigan president rejected for University of Florida's top job amid conservative backlash
Education policy Diversity and equityFacebookTweetLink Follow St. Petersburg, Florida (AP) — Longtime academic Santa Ono was rejected Tuesday for the University of Florida presidency by the state university system board amid sharp criticism from political conservatives about his past support for diversity, equity and inclusion programs and other initiatives they view as unacceptable liberal ideology. The Florida Board of Governors, which oversees the state's universities, voted 10-6 against Ono, who was most recently president of the University of Michigan. The University of Florida Board of Trustees had voted unanimously in May to approve Ono as the school's 14th president, and it is unprecedented for the governors to reverse such an action. Now the search will start all over. Ono's proposed contract included a number of ideological requirements, such as how well he stopped programs that focus on diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI. He was to cooperate with Gov. Ron DeSantis' Office of Government Efficiency — similar to the office created by President Donald Trump — and appoint other university officials and deans who are 'firmly aligned' with Florida's approach. Several prominent conservatives raised questions about Ono before the vote over pro-Palestinian protests, climate change efforts, gender ideology and DEI programs at the University of Michigan and his previous academic positions. These actions, Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said on the X social platform, show 'he is willing to appease and prioritize far-left activists over ensuring students are protected and receive a quality education.' Others raising objections include Donald Trump Jr. and Florida GOP U.S. Reps. Byron Donalds, Greg Steube and Jimmy Patronis. Donalds is a Republican candidate for governor. Writing in Inside Higher Ed, Ono said he supported DEI initiatives at first because they aim was 'equal opportunity and fairness for every student.' 'But over time, I saw how DEI became something else — more about ideology, division and bureaucracy, not student success,' Ono wrote, adding that he eventually limited DEI offices at Michigan. 'I believe in Florida's vision for higher education.' DeSantis, a Republican who has pushed reforms in higher education to eliminate what he calls 'woke' policies such as DEI, did not take a public stand on Ono but did say at a recent news conference that some of his statements made the governor 'cringe.' Ono faced similar pointed questions at Tuesday's meeting — especially from former Republican state House speakers Paul Renner and Jose Oliva — leading board member Charles Lydecker to object to the procedure. 'We have never used this as a forum to interrogate. This is not a court of law. Candidly, this process does not seem fair to me,' Lydecker said. Oliva, however, questioned how to square Ono's many past statements about hot-button cultural issues with his more conservative stance now that he sought the Florida job. 'Now we are told to believe you are now abandoning an entire ideological architecture,' Oliva said. 'We are asking someone to lead our flagship university. I don't understand how it becomes unfair.' Steube, writing on X, praised the board for its decision. 'Great news for my alma mater and the state of Florida! The Board of Governors heard us loud and clear: Santa Ono was the wrong choice for UF,' the congressman said. Ono was to replace Kent Fuchs, who became the school's temporary, interim president last summer after ex-U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse stepped down. Sasse left the U.S. Senate, where he had represented Nebraska, to become the university's president in 2023. Sasse announced in July he was leaving the job after his wife was diagnosed with epilepsy. Later reports surfaced that Sasse gave six former staffers and two former Republican officials jobs with salaries that outstripped comparable positions and spent over $1.3 million on private catering for lavish dinners, football tailgates and extravagant social functions in his first year on the job. Ono is also the former president of the University of British Columbia and the University of Cincinnati.
