Coming up in the business week ahead, interest rates will be in the spotlight, the Federal Open Market Committee, opening a two-day policy meeting on Tuesday with an announcement on its decision due the following day. Most analysts see the nation's central bank holding rate steady at 3.5 to 3.7%. However, some analysts aren't ready to rule out the possibility of a rate hike. A Leon County judge is now said to make a decision later today on the future of Republican candidate James Fishback's eligibility in his run for Florida governor. Fishback, who currently polls second behind Congressman Byron Donalds has been fighting a lawsuit challenging his qualifications to be on the August primary ballot. The GOP gubernatorial contender admitted in court Tuesday that he voted in the 2020 presidential election in Washington, D.C. and had a homestead exemption on a condo he owns there. According to Florida law, gubernatorial candidates must be residents and registered voters of the state for the preceding seven years. Florida lieutenant governor Jay Collins, who is also seeking the GOP nomination for Florida governor filed the lawsuit against Fishback months after published reports raised concerns about Fishback's residency. Susan Collins did not appear in court on Tuesday, but his campaign manager did. Both sides believe they prevailed in courts. Isaac Abdel-Masai, WDBO News. A recent signal poll has Fishback trailing Byron Donalds's who's polling at 43 percent. Fishback currently with 12 percent of that expected vote. That ruling is expected by 5 p.m. today.

Now what do you say we get that extended forecast for you? It is brought to you by Metlock Lifetime Roofing. A little bit of an unsettled weekend across Central Florida. In fact, we had pretty good rain and storm coverage heading into Sunday and more elevated storm coverage as we had into Monday. In fact, for today, a little bit peculiar by rainy season standards. We have the threat for rain and storms basically... all day long could be trying some activity in the mid to late morning hours with high temperatures today in the low 90s or move those rain and storm chances down just a smidge on Tuesday with temperatures in the low 90s. Our driest day probably is going to be on Wednesday, but even then rain and storm chances around 40 percent temperatures back in the mid 90s. And now looking more and more likely a second surge of tropical moisture arrives late week that kicks up those rain and storm chances once again for Thursday and Friday and highs in the low 90s. From Chownais,

IWitness News, a meteorologist, David Heckard. All right now, I am looking at that WDBO interactive weather radar, lots of rain in Oviedo right now. We do have that rain from Lake County encroaching on Orange County currently coming toward the east right now. I see some rain in Groveland and Mineola and in downtown Orlando where it's 77 degrees and I've got 77. at Orlando Severe Weather Station. Ed Torres has a red alert. What's going on, Ed? Scott, it's a crash on the 417 southbound just before 434. You got a left lane blocked. Vehicles are out of there. Road Ranger still blocking that left lane, and Road Ranger is in the process of picking up the cone. So it's going to be cleared shortly. But in the meantime, those delays remain. They begin at Ronald Reagan. So you can take 1792 as an alternate I-4 westbound. You got delays from the 429 to just after Lake Mary Boulevard. After that, going to be clear into downtown. I-4 eastbound. You're seeing slowdowns at 532 to just before the 429, then slow again, Osceola Parkway to 535, Michigan Street to Amelia. From the WDBO Traffic Center, I'm Ed Torrance. All right, Ed, thank you. 809 now on this Monday morning here on WDBO 107.3 FM and AM 580. Over the weekend, federal appeals court rejecting the Trump administration's attempt to implement an executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of the midterms coming up here in November. Let's go in depth now lied to ABC News reporter Peter Haralambus. And Peter, this has to do with 20. three blue states. Is that correct? This coalition of states stood over this executive order earlier this year, arguing that the right to oversee elections was firmly the authority of state and local governments. They got a ruling in their favor in June. And yes, over the weekend, we saw an appeals court. The First Circuit, the Court of Appeals, affirmed that decision, making this on track to go to the Supreme Court as President Trump continues to push for more federal oversight of elections. So the president signed that executive order in March as part of his election integrity agenda, Peter. And the order directs the Department of Homeland Security to compile lists of confirmed U.S. citizens eligible to vote, provide them the states, correct? That's right. And we began to see the implementation of that executive order earlier this year in that the Postal Service put out a proposed rule basically ordering states to hand over lists of approved voters in order for their ballots to be delivered by the mail. That's when things really got serious. That's when there was more pressure from these states asking a court to intervene. And though this is effectively blocking that policy, at this point the fight continues to go on, whether it be the Safe America Act. or the continued legal fight here. So, Peter, what are the chances that the Trump administration now takes this case to the Supreme Court before the midterms here?

Yeah, I mean, at this point, they've signaled in court filings that they're more than willing to do that. It would be on an emergency basis asking for a stay, and they would effectively be arguing that this would be an irreparable harm if they can't effectively put this into policy by the midterms. And for what it's worth, we've seen some courts, even Democratic appointees, be receptive to that argument. A similar case, for example, was heard by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. They actually reached the opposite conclusion, allowing the president to move forward with the policy, though this other ruling out of Massachusetts still kind of imposes a prohibition on the president. So we'll see how the Supreme Court responds to this. And at the same time, the Save America Act, which of course is stalled in Congress, would impose similar restrictions and effectively put the policy into a place. through Congress rather than unilaterally through the executive. All right, Peter. Thank you for that report this morning, as always. That is ABC News reporter Peter Harrelambos joining us on this Monday morning. Meantime, Iran saying this morning... That is going to stop its attacks as long as the United States does the same. This is what a senior Iranian official is telling Reuters this morning. And, of course, this news comes as the U.S. press pause on its bombing since Friday. So 13 straight nights of airstrikes on Iran, but those 13 straight days ending three days ago. So three straight days of this pause now. And the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, telling Fox News Sunday and other U.S. media that the president had decided to pause U.S. attacks to allow more time for diplomacy. And here is the U.N. ambassador for the U.S. Mike Waltz here, go. Afghanistan, Iraq, these wars, these endless wars, were the... policy goals, what were we doing there drifted so badly. The president has been consistently clear on what our goals are. I think your poll showed that the American people support those goals. Yes, it's been difficult, but I for one am quite thankful that he is taking the difficult right to do the thing that I think historians will look back on and say was the absolute right thing to do to prevent Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon. And sometimes that's going to be harder than, you know, harder than initially planned for, but the president's later. are focused on getting this done and achieving those goals at 70, 70, what, 80% of Americans support. And by the way, also important in theirs, I don't think anyone else sees a better plan that Democrats complain, criticize, but no one's coming with a better plan and the plans in the past administrations have failed. Okay, so talk to me about what's happening because after 13 straight days of bombing, there was no bombing Friday, there was no bombing Saturday. Is that to help the diplomacy that was underway in Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz? It's giving diplomacy some space. It's giving diplomacy a little bit of time. Of course, the president tried diplomacy last year. He's tried it this year. He is a president of peace. He is giving diplomacy a chance.

We'll see over the next coming days, but make no mistake, assets, additional military assets are moving into the region. They should believe the president, the regime should believe the president when he says they're locked and loaded. All options are on the table. So, but just to be put a fine point on it, this is a round of discussions just to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with a 30-day pause in the fighting. No, all conversations are continuing. With the goal of getting back to. This is at the highest levels, all the way down to the technical levels, to do with the nuclear program, to do with the rates of war moves. The diplomacy has not stopped. But the bombing did. So how long will the bombing stop for? Well, to give that, well, I'm not going to take that option off the table for the president. That's up to him. Let's see how these conversations go. So President Trump told Axios that he was close to making a decision and considering a massive attack bigger than ever before. That was Thursday. Did he make a decision yet? I wouldn't advertise that, Mark. But it's widely reported there was a big meeting Friday. There was a meeting Friday, but there's ongoing meetings. There was a senior. There was no final decision. Right. Other than pause. He'll make that decision in good time. But I also want to address this nonsense that somehow we don't have the assets that we need. Not only do we have what we need in theater, there's more moving into theater. All right. That is the U.S. U.S. U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz. Meanwhile, the markets liking the fact that hostilities have ceased at least for now between Iran and the U.S. The Dow futures this morning. is up some 580 points. The NASDAQ futures in the green, some 411 points right now. That's because oil prices have come down in the last day. The international benchmark Brent crude oil sinking to below $90 a barrel this morning. U.S. crew dropping to around $83 a barrel, both down about 7%. We'll see how diplomacy goes. between the U.S. and Iran. It's 816 now. at WDBO. Good morning. I'm Greg Rhodes. As Team Florida returned home after a successful showing of the 26 Special Olympics Games in Minnesota. Team Florida secured 73 medals at this year's event. The state's delegation comprising of about 200 athletes, coaches, and staff members earned 23 gold, 28 silver, and 22 bronze medals.

Central Region athletes delivered compelling performances during the games. Cruz and Harrington an athlete with the OCA Eagles soccer team and unified partner Trey Steele were chosen to help declare the U.S. Games open. Their team later earned a silver medal following a shootout. Isaac Dahl Messiah, WDBO News. Said to feel hot, hot, hot again. Triple-digit temperatures are back. Here's ABC meteorologist Leslie Lopez. We're talking about this prolonged event taking place across much of the nation, anywhere from the southwest, out towards the interior of our country, and the extreme heat warnings all across these regions. Now, the humidity added to the heat will bring those fields like temperatures up to 110 in Omaha, 112 out towards Des Moines, and then that's all going to fuel the possibility of severe weather threats. We'll be under a heat advisory through most of Central Florida later today, starting at 11 a.m. Heat index values expected to reach upwards of 109 degrees.

Now the WDBO Sports Update. A tale of two cities when it comes to Florida's baseball squads. First up the Rays who finished off a three-game sweep of the Guardians with a one-zip win at the Trop on Sunday. The Rays who have won six of seven now lead the ALE East by three games. Meanwhile, the Marlins losing streak is now up to a franchise record 12 straight. The fish fell five to three to the Padres at home and are now two games under 500 for the season and ten and a half games back in the end. All right. Thank you for the update. Greg, 818 WDVO. Let's go ahead and get that extended forecast for you. On a Monday morning, it is brought to you by Metlock Lifetime Roofing. A little bit of an active Sunday across central Florida, including some strong storms and parts of Metro Orlando. Our coverage for rain and storms actually getting a little bit higher for today. We'll put those chances at around 70%. High temperatures in the low 90s. A little bit drier air moves in for midweek. In fact, we're down to a 40% storm chance on Wednesday, getting a little bit warmer with temperatures in the mid 90s. But looking more and more probable, a second surge of tropical moisture arrives late week. It takes those rain and storm chances back up Thursday and Friday. Temperatures in the low 90s and still sink somewhat unsettled. heading into the weekend. What is not unsettled is the tropics. Of course, birth along gone as it made landfall in Texas last week, looking like we're going to keep things quiet in the tropics over the next seven to likely 10 days. From Chow 9, eyewitness news, I'm meteorologist, David Hecker. Money of rain out there right now, the WDBO interactive weather radar. We've got some rain in downtown Orlando. It's also raining up in Seminole County in Oviedo and in Geneva, where it's 77, and I've got 77 degrees. at Orlando Severe Weather Station. Ed Torrance is in that WDBO Traffic Center. What's going on, Ed? Scott, we finally got all leans back open. On the 417, southbound approaching 434. Earlier crash has been cleared. That's the good news. Bad news is those delays remain beginning at Ronald Reagan Boulevard. It's going to be a while before the traffic completely starts getting back up to speed as it's going to take a while for that. clearing to work its way on back through that delay. So allow for extra time heading southbound there on the 417. He also got delays still on I4, heading the westbound from just after the 429 to after Lake Mary Boulevard. After that, tap of the brakes at Ivano Eastbound. Seeing delays at 532 to 429, Osceola Parkway to 535 and then from Michigan Street to Amelia. From the WDBO Traffic Center, I'm Ed Torrance.
