USA TODAY

Bundle up, Pensacola: The first big freeze of the season is slated to set in early next week, following a weekend of storms that could potentially bring severe weather and heavy rain to the entire western Panhandle. 

A cold front moving into the Southeastern United States is the culprit for this weekend’s severe weather forecast, said Joe Maniscalo, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Mobile, Alabama. Ahead of the cold front moving in, all of Northwest Florida will be at marginal risk for severe weather Sunday.

“The forecast calls for precipitation amounts between 1 to 3 inches of rain here as we move into the end of the week and into the weekend,” he said. “That’s something to keep in mind

Salesforce.com Inc.

Which business-software giant will become the go-to provider in a work-from-home world? Salesforce . com could put pressure on Microsoft Corp. , as it is in advanced talks to buy workplace messenger maker Slack Technologies Inc. Having failed to capture Slack itself, Microsoft in 2016 launched its own competing workplace collaboration tool, called Teams. Slack would be the largest acquisition ever for Salesforce ; Salesforce’s core business is in customer-relationship management software. Salesforce shares lost 5.4% Wednesday.

AstraZeneca PLC

Optimism that vaccines will help revive the economy in 2021 got another boost. On Monday the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca said their vaccine was found to be as much as 90% effective in preventing infections without serious side effects in a large trial. Unlike shots under development from Pfizer and Moderna, AstraZeneca’s vaccine can be stored at temperatures above zero degrees Celsius, easing the distribution process. U.S. stocks

New York Giants at Cincinnati Bengals (+6) | TOTAL: 43

Not having Joe Burrow available for the Bengals is a bummer, but I’m not convinced that it means the offense will die a slow painful death at home vs the Giants.

Cincinnati throws the second most amount of times in the NFL, and with no Joe Mixon, that doesn’t appear likely to change even with Brandon Allen taking over at quarterback. Allen

    Factions are running wild right now in the world of wrestling, arguably more than ever before between WWE and AEW. Not every stable can be a winner (see: Retribution), but The Hurt Business and Inner Circle have managed to be one of the best parts of their respective shows in 2020.

    AEW’s Inner Circle has been a staple of Dynamite since its first episode in October 2019. The group consisting of Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Santana and Ortiz has had its fair share of ups and downs since then but remains relevant as a top act in the promotion to this day.

    The same can be said for The Hurt Business. Although the foursome of Bobby Lashley, MVP, Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander hasn’t been together

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose on Wall Street Friday at the start of a shortened trading session, led by gains in technology companies.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which earlier this week crossed 30,000 for the first time, rose 0.2%. The Nasdaq, which has a heavy weighting of technology stocks, gained 1%.
