SUMMARY: Happy Friday! We're looking at our current rainfall status for July. June ended dry with a 2-inch deficit, and early July is nearly an inch behind, with only 0.31 inches of rain in Meridian today. Notably, other areas received more. Portions of Noxubee and Clarke Counties are abnormally dry, but recent rain has been beneficial. More rain is expected south of I-20 tonight and over the weekend, with showers likely into Saturday and Sunday. Tropical Storm Barry, likely to strengthen, could bring additional moisture to Mississippi early next week. Overall, expect warm, muggy weather with scattered showers and thunderstorms.

SUMMARY: Summer is winding down, and the Pine Belt's Richon School District is gearing up for a new school year starting August 1st.

A $200,000 project to replace the basketball court is expected to be finished before school starts. Policy-wise, few changes are anticipated, but the student handbook will see minor updates. Registration will reopen this month, with details shared on social media.
