Your local news and seven-day forecast coming up. Moments away.

SPEAKER_07 29:28

Rip currents cause an estimated 100 deaths each year in the United States. In 2021, five of these deaths were on the Gulf Coast. Rip currents are the number one rudder-related killer at the beaches along the northern Gulf Coast. The number of rip current fatalities on these beaches is more than the fatalities of flooding, tornadoes, lightning, and tropical storms or hurricanes combined. Learn the facts. Before heading out to the beach, check current beach conditions and know what each flag means. Always swim near a lifeguard. Rip currents are narrow currents that flow away from the beach. If you notice you're being pulled away from the beach and are swimming and getting tired, you may be in a rip current. Think of it like a treadmill that you can't turn off. You want to step to the side of it. Don't swim against the current. Try to swim across it in a direction following the shoreline. Rip currents do not pull you under, but may take you as far out as a football field so people can tire quickly. The most important thing is to stay calm. If you can't escape the current, float or calmly tread water. Wave for help if you can. Rip current's strength eventually subsides and may even take you closer to shore. If you see someone caught in a rip current, call 911 or get a lifeguard and throw something that floats towards the victim. For more information, please visit www.visit albeaches.com slash safety.

SPEAKER_09 44:00

As always, I have the extended weather forecast for you, and I want to keep you safe. Because for the next 14 days, we're gonna have a mixed bag. If you listen to the show regularly, then you know I use that phrase quite often, but it's for real. It means it's gonna be a mixed bag. So for the rest of the day, partly cloudy sun will be seen in many parts of our neck of the woods, but also some clouds. 25% chance of rain for the rest of the day. Winds coming out of the southeast at 12 miles per hour. The overnight low is gonna be about 73, but we do have some scattered thunderstorms moving in. Winds will prevail from the south-southeast overnight at 9 miles per hour. Chances of rain all the way up now to 55%. So pay attention if you work overnight or you leave for work early in the morning, like many of my uh friends do, about 4 a.m., 5 a.m. And uh, you know, you could run into some of these storms. Friday will be scattered thunderstorms, 48% chance of rain, 79 will be the high, 74 will be the low in the overnight, winds blowing 13 miles per hour from the south-southeast. And these scattered thunderstorms are gonna linger. Now it could you know be boom, boom, boom, some rain, then the sun, and boom, boom, boom, some more rain and thunder, and that's how it works here along the Gulf Coast. For Saturday, we're gonna see highs around 81, Sunday 81, Monday, 81, Tuesday, 81, Wednesday 81, Thursday 81, and Friday 81 as a high. Now, Sunday we're gonna have more scattered thunderstorms. We're gonna have some sunshine somewhere along the way, but once again, thunderstorms scattered around our area. 48% possibility of that happening. Monday evening, thunderstorm, sunshine during the day, 81 is a high, 73 is a low, about a 53% chance of thunderstorms, winds coming out of the south-southeast and about 15 miles per hour. Tuesday and Wednesday, exactly the same, scattered, mainly in the morning thunderstorms for Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday, but they could remain later in the day. As we all know, thunderstorms can move through our area several times in a 24-hour period. The high Wednesday and Thursday, 81, the low, 73. Wind's gonna be slightly uh I would say calm, eight to nine miles an hour. That's just a little breeze. Friday, unfortunately, that thunderstorm problem continues. The high will be 82 degrees, 72 in the overnight, but it won't be thunderstorms all day. They'll be scattered. Maybe, maybe not might catch a couple of thunderstorms by the Gulf Shores. Shiny and bright. You know, that's the way it works. 44% chance of thunderstorms on Friday. Now, once again, for the weekend, we can't rule out isolated thunderstorms. Saturday the 30th, Sunday the 31st, Monday the first. No, no, no. We cannot rule out thunderstorms for that either. 83 will be high for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. 73 in the overnight, but isolated thunderstorms prevail all the way into next week, and those chances begin to decrease around Tuesday, but they don't go away, they continue all the way through the next 10-day period, which we're gonna have all of that updated for you on Monday show. But the bottom line here is even though it's Memorial Day and people are gonna be hitting the water and boating and you know, swimming and having picnics and cookouts, just be aware, you may have to run indoors for a while before you can come back out.

Broadcasting live from the beautiful Gulf Coast of Alabama, it's Highway 98. We've got your favorite new hits, some of those good old hits, Indie Music, gospel, bluegrass, and so much more here on Highway 98. This morning in the uh breaking news department, a missing Alabama woman was found dead in a trash bag along the interstate. Authorities in Green County said the woman went missing on May the 8th and hadn't been seen. The police began investigating, and they were able to track her phone, uh, and then it kind of uh went to bed. Authorities said eventually Karen Dean Hollow 23, who vanished from Northport, was found along interstate 20 and 59 by a relative, who also tracked the phone, and they went right to the location. She was in a uh trash bag, if you can believe it, thrown along the side of the road like a trash. Now the one who was with her on camera was investigated. Randall in 1944 has been charged only with abuse of the course because he uh suspected of carrying her out of the resident. Authorities are still investigating, and he may face other more serious charges right now. He's only been charged with the story. Not only at the Gulf Coast, but also like the river and the backyard, you're drowning to continue to run along the Gulf Coast. And we were who just retired from the Coast Guard, and the former lifeguard, so people need to really think about safety. Whether you're swimming or voting, it is very important. Safety remainers, the weather aware, the weather control, and you're gonna see this weekend because we are expecting for most of the weekend and into the next week. We love the water, we love the coast, we love living where we're living for that weekend. Make sure you are in the wheel of the vessel that you have all the number three months. Anyway, you live in the area you know. And according to the utility company, seventeen hundred and forty-one people lost early uh yesterday morning, and uh they recorded it within a few hours. According to um the utility company, they're not sure exactly what called the house, but they did get a return in a timely manner. A woman was drunk and killed by an track train that happened in urban. You may have heard about this and happened Monday. And she was trying to get up as the train approach, unfortunately, she didn't make it. Authorities say that they are still investigating this, but uh at this time they believe that it was just a situation where the woman was responsible. According to uh authorities, she was taken to the house, but she was still alive. They couldn't really uh determine whether or not you were guilty or not. The prisoner died in one of the jail cells while he was incarcerated. The Mobile County Service Department says that they uh have had an autopsy, but they haven't determined the true outcome. And uh we'll let you know if any other information comes out from that. Remember, if you see news happening at any place, anytime, you can contact us newsdesk at bluermedia.com.

And uh by then, of course, that's gonna be a holiday. We're still gonna be broadcasting live, but it's gonna be Memorial Day, and of course, big things happening here along the Gulf Coast the entire weekend. In fact, some folks are down for a week, week-long vacation, so I'm sure that they will be having a lot of fun while people like you and me will probably be working at least part of the holiday, but that's just the way that it goes. Remember, no matter where you are, if you're driving a car, a boat, it doesn't really matter. If you're going down the interstate, it doesn't really matter. If you're on the county road, the country road, the back road, whatever, the dirt road. You gotta drive safely. Don't drink and drive. Don't speed. Don't be one of those inattentive drivers. Let's keep our hands on the wheel and get to where we're going safely. And remember, we want our first responders to get to wherever they are going safely as well. So remember, when you see, you know, something coming up behind you, you hear sirens, you see blue or red lights, or a combination thereof, you gotta pull to the right. Let's get all of our first responders safe to wherever they're going because they do a big job, and we want them to be very, very safe. We want you to be safe as well, so I hope that you enjoy this Memorial Day weekend. Until the next time, stay safe, be blessed, and we'll see you back here on the radio.
