South Florida has been stuck in a soggy and dreary setup all week long but there are some changes ahead by next week. We just have to get through additional storms this weekend first.It’s all because of deep, tropical moisture flowing into Florida while a weak, slow-moving front treks south across the state. As this front continues to approach and eventually passes through Sunday night, this will keep rain chances elevated and our pattern unsettled.Today, expect sunshine in the morning with a spotty shower, then scattered showers and storms during the afternoon, especially across inland locations. This sunshine paired with a light wind should help heat up temperatures quickly to around 90F by the early-afternoon. Like yesterday, isolated instances of flooding and strong storms will remain possible.On Sunday, as the front gets even closer, this will increase rain chances come more to a 60% chance with scattered, anytime showers and thunderstorms expected.

A defendant charged alongside former President Donald Trump in Georgia has pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman, is the first person to reach a plea deal in the case, in which Trump and 18 others were charged with racketeering conspiracy for their efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.Hall, 59, who was involved in a breach of election equipment, pleaded guilty Friday in Atlanta to five counts of conspiring to commit intentional interference with performance of election duties. The plea deal included an agreement to a sentence of five years of probation, a $5,000 fine and a letter of apology to the state.Part of the plea deal requires Hall to testify against others at future trials or hearings of “any co-defendants” in the election racketeering case. The felony charges against Hall were dropped as part of the agreement.Trump was not mentioned by name during Hall’s plea hearing, but a Fulton County prosecutor did men...NATO bolsters forces in Kosovo as US urges Serbia to withdraw from border

NATO said on Friday it is increasing its peacekeeping presence in northern Kosovo as a result of escalating tensions with neighboring Serbia, as the U.S. called on Serbia to withdraw a military buildup on the border with Kosovo.The heightening of tensions comes after about 30 heavily armed Serbs stormed the northern Kosovo village of Banjska last Sunday. A Kosovo policeman and three of the attackers were killed in gun battles.“We need NATO because the border with Serbia is very long and the Serbian army has been recently strengthening its capacities,” Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti told the Associated Press. “They have a lot of military equipment from both the Russian Federation and China,” he said.“These people want to turn back time,” Kurti said. “They are in search of a time machine. They want to turn the clock back by 30 years. But that is not going to happen,” he said.Kosovo declared independence in 2008, but Belgrade and Moscow have refu...Four most important Patriots players in Week 4 matchup vs. Cowboys
