Jimmie Johnson wants Kyle Larson to keep attempting 'The Double'
Jimmie Johnson wants Kyle Larson to keep attempting 'The Double' Kyle Larson's second attempt at "The Double" didn't go well. Larson crashed out of the 2025 Indianapolis 500, and even if he hadn't wrecked, the helicopter taking him to Charlotte Motor Speedway would have left before the end of the event due to a weather delay. Then, Larson hit the wall and spun from the lead in the Coca-Cola 600 before crashing out later in the night. It was a very disappointing day for the Hendrick Motorsports driver, and it might have represented his final chance at "The Double." However, Jimmie Johnson, who joined the NTT IndyCar Series after retiring from NASCAR, hopes that Larson can continue attempting "The Double" moving forward. "I love that [Kyle Larson]'s doing [The Double], and I hope that he sticks with it," Johnson said. "The uptick for motorsports worldwide is measurable. When people do The Double, it matters. And Kyle is a guy that can drive anything, as we know. We look at how he did last year. This year, sure, racing is racing. It's not always going to be easy. The big races require bigger moments, and there's a lot more going on. The guy just takes it in stride and goes through both events. Sure, he wishes he had different results, but I really hope it doesn't dissuade him from racing in those again." Larson is one of the best race car drivers in the world, and although his two attempts at "The Double" haven't gone well, Johnson hopes it won't discourage him from trying it again. The logistics of "The Double" are complicated, and despite the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion's approval, it would be understandable if Larson didn't want to try it again.

Will Tropical Storm Alvin Hit California? Path, Forecast
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tropical Storm Alvin is nearing Western Mexico, and although the storm won't hit California, it will impact the Golden State and other parts of the U.S. Southwest later this weekend and next week. Why It Matters The Eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15, two weeks earlier than the Central Pacific and Atlantic hurricane seasons, which start on June 1. Each hurricane season runs through November 30. Tropical Storm Alvin formed on Thursday, becoming the first named storm of 2025. As of Friday morning, the storm has maximum sustained windspeeds of 50 mph. A tropical storm officially becomes a Category 1 hurricane when wind speeds reach 74 mph. What to Know The storm is expected to weaken as the weekend progresses, the most recent forecast from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said. It is not expected to become a hurricane at time of writing. The most recent forecast path for Tropical Storm Alvin from the National Hurricane Center. The most recent forecast path for Tropical Storm Alvin from the National Hurricane Center. National Hurricane Center The biggest impacts will be heavy rain, life-threatening beach conditions such as rip currents, and wind in Mexico and Baja California, an AccuWeather report said. AccuWeather senior meteorologist Bob Larson told Newsweek that the storm will lose most of its wind intensity by the time impacts are expected in the U.S, but meteorologists do anticipate moisture from the storm to move into the Southwest. Larson said the rain could resemble the monsoon season, which typically hits mid- to late summer, making the incoming moisture an earlier occurrence than is usual. Thunderstorms could affect Arizona late Sunday and into Monday, and some gusty winds could contribute to blowing dust. A map from AccuWeather shows that widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected in Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and far Southeast California. What People Are Saying AccuWeather meteorologist Brandon Buckingham said in a report: "Showers and thunderstorms will likely become more prolific over the interior western United States next week and could escalate to the point of triggering rapid and dangerous flooding problems when combined with high country snowmelt in parts of the Rockies." An NHC public advisory about Tropical Storm Alvin: "Gradual weakening is forecast during the next couple of days, and Alvin is expected to degenerate to a remnant low on Saturday." The advisory added: "Swells generated by Alvin will affect portions of the coasts of west-central and southwestern Mexico and the southern Baja California Peninsula during the next couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office." What Happens Next The next NHC update about the storm will be issued later Friday afternoon. People in Baja California and Western Mexico are urged to follow local weather guidance as the storm draws nearer.

Tropical Storm Alvin Live Tracker
A live map from shows the current location of Storm Alvin, the first named storm of the season. Alvin became the first named storm system of 2025 when the tropical storm formed in the Eastern Pacific on Thursday morning. Forecasters are anticipating an above-normal hurricane season this year. Forecasters say Alvin could impact western Mexico with strong winds, rainfall, and surf. In a media advisory shared with Newsweek, AccuWeather stated that gusty winds and heavy rainfall will be limited to areas near the coast of Baja California Sur. The intense rain could trigger landslides and cause travel disruptions, particularly in the higher elevations along the southern coast, it said. Alvin is forecast to maintain tropical storm strength through Saturday. However, a slight weakening in wind intensity is anticipated as it tracks northward over cooler ocean waters, according to AccuWeather experts. Fox Weather reported that the storm's winds peaked at 60 miles per hour Friday morning, though they had since decreased to around 50 mph. AccuWeather senior meteorologist Bob Larson previously told Newsweek that while the Eastern Pacific hurricane season has already begun, Tropical Storm Alvin is slightly earlier than average. The first tropical storm of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season typically forms around June 10. While Alvin developed earlier than the average, it is not considered "unprecedented," according to Larson. Meanwhile, forecasters are monitoring a low risk for another potential development, located again south of Mexico, from June 3-6. Fox Weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross: "The Eastern Pacific season kicked off right on schedule. The ocean water off the southern coast of Mexico is always quite warm, and this year the atmospheric pattern over that part of the ocean is quite conducive for development. "Alvin has a good chance of intensifying significantly over the open water. As it tracks farther north, however, the water cools quickly. So, if Alvin affects Cabo San Lucas or nearby areas in northern Mexico, for example, it looks likely to be a weakening storm." Meteorologist Jim Cantore, Friday on X, formerly Twitter: "Alvin caught in the southwest deep flow and getting sheared and pushed by the dry air around the base of the trough. Alvin's time as a TS is numbered, but the eventual moisture, rain and the 20-30 degree cool down in the southwest will be welcome." The Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1 and runs through November 30. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season started on May 15 and lasts through November 30.
