Following scattered showers and thunderstorms during the day Monday as we marked the start of rainy season, conditions are expected to be quieter and slightly warmer this Tuesday.A mid to upper level low that was over the area yesterday is now east of the Bahamas and is funneling in drier conditions.This drier air in place will allow for lower rain chances with only the risk for a few spotty showers and an isolated storm late today, especially across inland areas.

Say hello to Turkey’s election kingmaker

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:42:10 GMT

ISTANBUL — Turkey’s presidential candidates suddenly want to talk to Sinan Oğan, a little-known nationalist politician who came third in Sunday’s election and has turned into a potential kingmaker overnight.Ahead of a second round on May 28, Oğan wants to secure a ministry, while President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his rival Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu want the backing of his 2.8 million voters, who made up about 5.2 percent of Sunday’s vote. Kılıçdaroğlu’s team said Monday their early talks with Oğan suggested there was room to cooperate. Islamist populist Erdoğan won the first round of Turkey’s election on Sunday with 49.5 percent (27.1 million votes) but the race will now head into a runoff because he failed to secure the 50 percent needed for outright victory. His main rival Kılıçdaroğlu, who will face him in two weeks, won 44.9 percent (24.6 million).   This impending showdown has given a strong hand to Oğan and his “Ancestral Alliance,” as both Erdoğan and Kı...
