SUMMARY: The speaker brings attention to the long-awaited rainfall in the Southeast, especially in Mississippi and Alabama. They use a radar graphic to illustrate the rain coverage. High school football games may be affected by rain, with various schools in cities like Decatur and Collinsville expected to experience showers. People attending games are advised to bring rain gear as the rain is set to continue into the night and may include scattered showers or a possible thunder rumble, tapering off around 10 p.m. The forecast shows isolated showers in the morning, so Veterans Day plans may be better scheduled for the afternoon. The rain helps to alleviate drought conditions in the region, contributing to a desired 3 to 5 inches by Wednesday, moving towards the 12 to 15 inches needed in central Mississippi. Current temperatures are below average for this time of year, and the upcoming week will continue the trend with chances of rain.

SUMMARY: Local shoppers in Tupelo are hopeful for a Target store after years of anticipation. Target filed plans in September for a store in the Barnes Crossing area near North Gloster Street and Interstate 22. The Tupelo City Council recently approved an agreement to incentivize the retailer, including infrastructure improvements to alleviate traffic. While some community members express excitement about the shopping options, Target has not confirmed its plans for Tupelo, as its future store openings do not currently include the city. Despite recent mixed earnings reports, company officials remain optimistic about their long-term prospects.

The City of Tupelo is now playing the waiting game for a possible Target store.

SUMMARY: A local nonprofit, Petal Healing Garden, is collaborating with the Forest County Agricultural Extension Office on the Grow a Row program to combat food insecurity. Volunteers can participate after completing a food safety course led by Jesse Tisdale. The program not only helps with food donations but also offers a chance for the community to reconnect with gardening, filling a gap left by the loss of agricultural education in local schools. Proceeds from the initiative will benefit the Edwards Street food pantry and the Petal Children’s Task Force in Hattiesburg.

One local agricultural extension office is teaming up with a local vegetable garden owner to train others on growing produce to combat hunger in the Pine Belt.
