This winter’s forecast is heating up—literally—in most of the U.S., with near-to-above-normal temps, but don’t pack away your snow gear just yet. The Northeast, Appalachians, parts of the West, and Alaska are bracing for snowy conditions, while the West and South could see wetter-than-average weather. Meanwhile, the East, Plains, and Southwest may experience drier conditions. All this comes amid El Niño’s influence, which experts warn could destabilize the polar vortex and send Arctic chill southward. The Old Farmer’s Almanac, boasting 80% accuracy since 1792, uses solar patterns and historical data to make its calls—so keep an eye on your region’s specific forecast, because winter’s surprises are still coming.

Spokane police arrested 43-year-old David Gilchunmogon in connection with a fiery incident at Lumberbeard Brewing—caught on video allegedly setting fire to the roof while carrying cardboard. Identified by a tattoo and dark backpack, he was found with lighters and a paper-stuffed bag, claiming he was just sleeping on the roof. The blaze forced the brewery to shut down temporarily, but they’re rallying with a beer sale this Friday to stay afloat. Complicating matters: Gilchunmogon has prior ties to downtown fires from two years ago and a criminal record including vehicular assault, assault, and multiple mischief charges. Authorities are still investigating his potential role in other incidents—this story’s far from over.

Northern Arizona’s Walkup Skydome is a brutal 6,880-foot altitude trap—teams feel it worst in the second half. The home team’s dominance there is real, but visiting Eagles have seen this battlefield before, especially on defense and special teams. Indoors means no wind, which helps kicking, and with season opener stakes high in the Big Sky, new QB Nate Bell’s consistency will be key. His backup saw plenty of snaps last year; can Bell elevate the passing game? Special teams are vital—kicker’s back on turf for practice, new returners stepping in. And crucially: turnovers. Eagles’ history screams that forcing more than giving up = wins. This isn’t just about altitude—it’s about ball control and clutch plays.

Tennessee is poised to rename Nashville International Airport in honor of Dolly Parton, a musical icon born in the state who rose from humble roots to become one of the best-selling artists ever. Governor Bill Lee champions the move, saying her spirit and music perfectly embody Tennessee’s soul — but the airport authority’s current policy, which requires nominees to be deceased for at least two years, could block the tribute. A crucial meeting on September 17th will decide whether to bend the rules for a legend who’s still alive and thriving.

Kade Anderson’s MLB debut is sparking buzz—not for stats, but for his fearless approach to pitching with unfamiliar balls. While analytics show a drop in spin and movement on his fastball due to MLB’s premium Costa Rican leather versus Double-A’s machine-made Chinese balls, Anderson remains unfazed. He’s pitched with MLB balls before and trusts his elite command of three devastating secondary pitches—changeup, slider, curveball—to carry him. In his debut, he held the Cubs to just three runs, proving his poise. With his next start looming, Anderson treats the ball change like any other adjustment—just another hurdle to master as he rockets toward stardom.

The Trump administration is pushing the Supreme Court to uphold its transgender military ban, arguing that the Pentagon’s authority over service eligibility is vital — even as a lower court shields current transgender troops from immediate harm. This reversal of Biden-era policy, revived under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, targets those with gender dysphoria, framing it as incompatible with military discipline and part of a broader effort to purge “woke” ideas. While the Court previously allowed enforcement while legal challenges continued, this new appeal zeroes in on protecting active-duty members — leaving new recruits still vulnerable to the ban.

At fifty, James Haskins turned his lifelong dream into reality by hiking over 100 miles through Montana’s Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness with newfound partner Keil Clavadetscher. Starting with a brutal 22-mile day after a teammate dropped out, they faced stomach bugs, thunderstorms, mosquitoes, and steep switchbacks — even a family of mountain goats turned their campsite into an impromptu playground. Though they narrowly avoided bears and battled illness, Haskins’ determination and Clavadetscher’s unwavering support carried them to victory. Ending the trek at Chico Hot Springs with tears of joy and a burger, Haskins is already plotting his next adventure: Mount Rainier’s 93-mile Wonderland Trail.
