A second system is located off the northeastern coast of Venezuela, and Keim says it has a 90-percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within the next 5 days.

Cut 9 (08) “…lots can change.”
The third system is out there; also northeast of Venezuela…but Keim says it has only a slight chance of developing into something to be concerned with…:

A New Orleans judge issues a temporary restraining order barring the enforcement of the state’s trigger law banning abortion. In the meantime Hope Medical Group for Women in Shreveport says they will resume service tomorrow. Loyola University law professor Dan Ciolino says the restraining only adds uncertainty about abortions in Louisiana.
Ciolino says the case raises the issue of unconstitutional vagueness, unconstitutional lack of notice to the public about effective dates and the provisions of the abortion law. Ciolino says he believes it will be litigated for some time.
Cut 14 (12) “…regulate abortion.”
In the meantime, a hearing on the temporary restraining order is set for July 8th. However, Ciolino says if the court rules the triggers laws are unconstitutionally vague or deficient then he believes lawmakers will return to Baton Rouge.
The Center for Reproductive Rights filed the restraining order on behalf of the hope Medical Group for Women, Hope’s Administrator Kathaleen Pittman, and Medical Students for Choice.
