Florida in bull's-eye for heavy rains as developing system could become tropical trouble
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The "Sunshine" part of Florida's state nickname is taking a break next week as forecasters instead watch for days of heavy rains and even some potential for some tropical mischief in the Gulf later in the week. The culprit begins as a weak non-tropical area of low pressure that will move off the Southeast coast, across northern Florida, and eventually into the Gulf late next week, according to the FOX Forecast Center. With the system potentially spending multiple days over warm waters of the Gulf of America and the western Atlantic, it will need to be watched for tropical development. But before the storm even thinks of getting onto the National Hurricane Center's plate, the slow-moving system is expected to drag several inches of rain across central and southern Florida, with the heaviest amounts forecast for Monday. Overall rainfall totals for the week could reach 3-5 inches or more south of the Interstate 4 corridor. But some thunderstorms will have the potential to drop between 1-3 inches per hour, and pockets of flash flooding appear possible starting Sunday and continuing through midweek. Exactly where the best chance of storms and flooding sets up each day will become more apparent as the event gets closer. It's later in the week when the system enters the toasty waters of the eastern Gulf of America that attention turns to tropical development. So far, forecast models do not indicate a significant threat, but a handful of model runs do indicate the potential for development in the Gulf, the FOX Forecast Center says. "You'll note that little cinnamon bun swirl (on forecast model charts) that moved kind of right across the (Florida) Peninsula and into the Gulf," said FOX Weather Meteorologist Michael Estime. "It's that mid-level spin right there that we're tracking that could - let me emphasize, could – by the time we get to this upcoming midweek, have some sort of tropical characteristics with it." Forecasters will be monitoring several factors that will determine the system's ultimate fate, including the amount of wind shear present as the low heads into the Gulf, and how much time the system will spend soaking up energy from the warm waters. "For now, we are in wait-and-see mode, with no credible threat to react to at this time," the FOX Forecast Center said. "That said, it is a pattern worth watching, and watch it, we will."Original article source: Florida in bull's-eye for heavy rains as developing system could become tropical trouble

BP shares edge up despite hit from lower oil and gas prices
BP has said it expects second quarter results next month to be impacted by lower oil and gas prices. Crude oil prices average $67.9 per barrel over the three-month period, compared with $75.7 per barrel in the prior quarter. 'In the gas and low carbon energy segment, realisations compared to the prior quarter, are expected to have an impact in the range of $0.1bn to $0.3bn,' BP said in a statement on Friday. Realisations in its oil production and operations business are also expected to have an impact in the range of $0.6 to $0.8bn, including price lags on BP's production in the Gulf of America and the UAE. Its second quarter results will also include costs associated with asset impairments in the range of $0.5bn to $1.5bn. Despite the hit, shares in BP jumped more than two per cent in early deals as the London-listed firm forecast higher quarter-on-quarter production and said net debt had declined. BP's debt pile sat at $27bn at the end of the last quarter. Its second quarter gas marketing and trading result is expected to be average, while oil trading is expected to be strong, BP added. It comes after ministers and executives from a host of OPEC nations said earlier this week that markets were 'thirsty' for more oil. BP has faced mounting pressure to turn around its underperforming share price this year, leading to a pivot back to oil and gas that has angered climate-conscious investors. The group suffered a huge shareholder revolt at its annual general meeting in April, the largest protest vote against the chair of a FTSE 100 company in half a decade. Shares are down around 1.5 per cent this year to date.

Trump Transformed the 'Monica Lewinsky Room' Into a Gift Shop Filled With MAGA Merch: Report
President Donald Trump has reportedly converted what he calls the "Monica Lewinsky room" into a gift shop stocked with MAGA merchandise, according to a new report. A Republican senator told NBC News he was invited to a bill signing where Trump showed him what he called the "Monica Lewinsky room," referencing the location where former President Bill Clinton had an affair with the then-22-year-old intern, a scandal that led to Clinton's impeachment and subsequent acquittal. "He does what he wants, and they [Trump's aides] let him do it," the Republican senator told NBC, speaking on condition of anonymity. Located near the Oval Office, the room has reportedly been transformed by Trump into a "beautifully organized" gift shop stocked with MAGA hats and shirts for visitors, according to an anonymous senior White House official. The $50 red MAGA hat has become a signature symbol of Trump and his supporters, but he has not stopped there. In the first month of his second term, President Trump added 168 new products to the Trump Store, which now features more than 1,700 items. Among them were a $200 "MAGA Victory Blanket," a $550 "45-47 Bling Clutch," and a $69 straw hat released just in time for summer. He also recently launched a "Gulf of America" baseball cap in a similar style. According to Citizens for Ethics, Trump made more than $3 million in merchandise sales from his online store in 2023. His sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, also recently launched Trump Mobile, offering a $499 smartphone and a $47.45 monthly plan. Originally published on Latin Times

Words keep coming and they don't stop coming
Baby bump and Swiftie are in the dictionary, right? Um, not quite. Soon, but not yet. English evolves at warp speed now, boosted by social media's endless prose, seeing an archive like Collins barely finding time to add half-sibling or double-space, blastproof and compostable, only for newbies like warp speed and newbie to come knocking. Content creator is now a career, yet only recently made the database. Ditto for terabit (1000 gigabits) and dishwashing. Mid-strength and safe word, beach read and survivor guilt. The siege is relentless, as timezone (one word) and evote (no hyphen) clamour for inclusion. Hence my habit of loitering vestibules, those annexes linked to lexicons listing which words float in limbo, language midway between user-usage and publisher patronage. Some seem obvious, like old soul and outsiderism, slushie or reclick. Others like crickets (for a joke's silent response) or a dog's cone of shame are slang awaiting sanction. While another set is straight-out odd, like helixophile (a corkscrew collector) or hatfishing (wearing a hat in your Tinder pic.) Fusions reign, as usual. My fave is binfluencer, that neighbour who puts out their bins early, swaying everyone else's colour-coded array. Then there's sporror, a subgenre of horror writing centred around fungi, which feels too close to home. Meanwhile, exervious (a blend of excited and nervous) and todorrow (today-tomorrow) won't happen. Headlines can often summon new phrases, such as planet parade, Gulf of America and TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out. Sport can likewise keep the annex busy, the webpage receiving pine-time (minutes on the bench), scorpion kick, spoon bowl (battle for last place) and breadstick. Different from a bagel, where a player loses 0-6, a breadstick sees you go down 1-6. And yes, it can be used as a verb. Loading Sport and politics also mingle, notably in two more nominees. Gordie Howe, a Canadian great of ice-hockey, popularised 'Elbows out!' , shorthand for play hard. Since Trump's tariff splurge, the phrase has been a Canadian catchcry. Just as flood the zone – to overwhelm one part of the field with players – is now a civic ploy, where media are deliberately engulfed in so many new policies that none gain proper scrutiny. One Collins visitor adores Australian birds, insisting firetail and bronzewing find a nest. AlloyMiner, another contributor, digs South African words, from skabenga (hooligan) to moggy (irrational), zol (marijuana) and seshweshwe (printed cotton). The latter batch has enjoyed success too, as all four words were later enshrined in Oxford 's March intake.
