SUMMARY: Meteorologist Trey Tonis provided an update on Tropical Storm Francine, which is expected to approach Southeastern Louisiana as a potential hurricane. While residents of South Mississippi shouldn’t panic, preparation is key, including access to sandbag locations. The storm’s track indicates heavy rain and possible spin-up tornadoes in the area due to being on the “dirty side” of the storm. Current atmospheric conditions are favorable for storm development, and flooding risks are heightened by existing moisture from recent storms. The National Hurricane Center warns of storm surge impacts, especially for Louisiana. More updates will follow throughout the evening.

SUMMARY: In South Mississippi, the arts scene is thriving, particularly with the growth of theater initiatives like the Pyun Theater Company, launched by Nathan Sandercock in 2020. Drawing from his experience in Australia, Sandercock noticed a lack of creative arts in the area. The company relies on volunteers for various roles in theater production, including acting, set design, and costuming. So far, they’ve successfully staged productions like “Little Women” and “Willy Wonka Jr.,” with more shows planned, including “Annie” and “Sister Act.” Sandercock aims to provide opportunities for young artists, despite challenges with rising venue costs.

In the world of theatre, there’s a lot of creativity not just with production, but with props and costumes.

SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Francine has formed in the Gulf of Mexico, with winds near 50 mph, moving north-northwest. Forecasts indicate it may strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane by Tuesday or possibly reach Category 2 before making landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday. The storm’s track remains uncertain, but if it shifts east, it could impact South Mississippi, prompting storm surge watches in certain counties. Rain and wind are expected to increase with potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding from Wednesday through Thursday. Preparations should be made today as conditions worsen with the approach of Francine.
