National Short Term Outlook
Major Hurricane Delta to enter the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday and headed towards the central Gulf Coast. The main feature of interest for the end of the week for the central Gulf Coast will be the approach of Hurricane Delta, which will likely be a major hurricane as it tracks across the Gulf of Mexico. It is currently tracking towards the northwest, and will likely cause havoc for portions of the Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday, with extreme winds and storm surge flooding expected. The storm is expected to make landfall somewhere between far southeast Texas and eastern Louisiana late Friday evening or Friday night, bringing very hazardous conditions near and to the east of where the center makes landfall. Now is a good time for residents and visitors to prepare, and evacuate if necessary. The National Weather Service and local forecast offices will have additional information pertaining to Hurricane Delta.
Some strong to severe storms possible for the Northeast on Wednesday. Elsewhere across the continental U.S., a fairly quiet weather pattern looks to continue through early Friday as high pressure continues to govern the weather pattern. The most active weather through early Thursday will be over the northern Great Lakes and the Northeast as a storm system tracks across southeast Canada and intensifies. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, some of which could be severe, are expected over New England Wednesday afternoon. As the cold front traverses the region, drier conditions return to the region on Thursday with a high quality fall airmass settling back in across the region to end the week. Meanwhile, temperatures are likely to feel more like late summer for the western High Plains and the Intermountain West. Temperatures should remain above average along the West Coast on Wednesday, but a cooler Pacific air-mass arrives on Thursday with some relief from the recent summer-like conditions.

Strack & VanTil Team offer a helping hand at the Habitat for Humanity Lake Station Build Site
Sunset Christian Church offers a hand at the Habitat for Humanity NWI Lake Station Build Site

Gary, Indiana October 1, 2020 โ Majestic Star Casino partnered with Habitat for Humanity of NW Indiana to build walls for a new home being built for the Best Family in Gary, Indiana. Majestic Star Casino provided a volunteer group of 24 to build all 32 interior and exterior walls as well as funds to cover materials. All the walls were built on the old casino property in Buffington Harbor.
โThe work done by Habitat makes such a difference in the lives of those they serve, and Iโm pleased to play a small part in that. Through our Spectacle ALL-IN program, the team at Majestic Star Casino is excited to pitch in and help Shakira Bestโs family become homeowners at the “Field of Dreams” project in Gary. Itโs a humbling and fulfilling experience for all of us,โ stated Rich Zeigler, Vice President of Development for Spectacle Entertainment and a Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Indiana board member.
Shakira Best and her family will move into a neighborhood called โField of Dreamsโ. This beautiful, two block section of Gary is nearly entirely comprised of Habitat homes. The first Habitat home in the โField of Dreamsโ broke ground in 2004.
