Storm Team 3: Finally drier and comfortable weather moves in for the weekend
We're tracking a change in the weather pattern today… finally! Thanks to a cold front that moved through last night, we'll see sunshine along with comfortable conditions today. It will remain breezy and dry with highs in the mid 80s, seasonable for this time of year. As a new front lingers around the area tomorrow, we'll see an increase in temperature and moisture as highs reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. This also brings a very low, 10%, chance of a passing or stray shower both Sunday and Monday. Dry conditions continue into the work week as sunshine persists and highs stay close to 90. Our next real chance of rain with isolated storms moves in for the end of the week as a front begins to develop to our west. Either way, this week will be a great week to get outside with much drier conditions compared to last week! A reminder as tomorrow is the first day of hurricane season, make sure to tune in to the Storm Team 3 Storm Watch Special that airs tonight at 7pm on WSAV. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Largest cuts ‘in history:' Local impact of potential cuts to SNAP benefits in Trump bill
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' aimed at cutting taxes and federal spending will also include cuts to programs like the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), a program hundreds of thousands of Georgia households rely on to feed their families. The legislation passed in the United States House of Representatives over a week ago. The way the bill is currently written, thousands of Georgians would no longer meet the federal requirements to receive SNAP benefits. 'I stay home because I'm disabled, but even with the food stamps I get, I'm still having to pay out of pocket,' Heather Nelson, whose family receives SNAP said. Right now, anyone who does not work but has children under the age of eighteen is eligible to receive benefits. Under Trump's bill, those who do not work would only be eligible to receive SNAP if their children are under eight. 'They're still growing. They're actually hungrier than after that age. So, they're eating more food than normal, especially in summer. So, they're home all the time,' Nelson said. 'Cutting after the age of eight, I think that's crazy.' The second major change would be an increase in the age requirement for SNAP for older adults. People who don't or can't work wouldn't be eligible to receive SNAP until 64, instead of the current age of 54. 'It takes about 300 billion dollars out of SNAP, according to the non-partisan congressional budget office. This is the largest cut to the food assistance program in history,' Alex Jacquez, Chief of Policy and Advocacy at Groundwork Collaborative, an economic policy think tank in Washington, D.C, said. According to Jacquez, Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' shifts some of the cost for SNAP benefits to the states, which could lead to major cuts to the program at the state level. 'These are generally payments that have always been made by the federal government, and they're instituted in an escalating penalty type of way,' Jacquez said. 'Instead of having to actually make the outlays, the choice that these states are going to make is either to cut benefits back or opt out of the SNAP program entirely.' Trump's bill will go to the U.S. Senate next and it could be changed or rewritten in any number of ways during that process. House Republicans said their goal is to get the bill passed in both chambers and signed into law by July 4. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
