3/25 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Severe Likely” Monday Evening Forecast
SUMMARY: Severe weather is expected tonight in Mississippi with an enhanced risk of severe weather development. A line of thunderstorms is forecasted for tomorrow morning, with potential strong cells forming ahead of the main line. Strong winds are already present, with temperatures in the upper 60s and 70s. The storm system is expected to move slowly, increasing the risk of individual cells forming and becoming stronger. However, the weather is expected to clear by tomorrow afternoon. The rest of the week looks calm and comfortable, with temperatures in the upper 70s. Severe weather precautions are advised, with multiple ways to receive warnings. Stay safe and download the app for updates.

There is a deep surface low moving through the central Plains today combining with a large area of high pressure dominating all of the eastern Seaboard and into the central Gulf is leading to a rather impressive pressure gradient across the region. Across the viewing area, the pressure gradient is around 8Mb and that typically is more than sufficient to get windy conditions. The winds being this strong has kept the airmass well mixed and thus most places have only just now gotten into the mid 70s. When that is combined with the broken to overcast skies, those combinations limits warming compared to what it could be.
As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.

Legacy Park multi-use center downgrades design plans due to lack of funding
SUMMARY: The future of the Legacy Park multi-use center in Jackson County is uncertain due to funding issues. Originally planned as a retail, restaurant, and healthcare hub, recent revisions now focus solely on a memorial endoscopy facility. Developer Dr. Saka expresses disappointment, highlighting the project’s potential impact on the community. The Jackson County Board of Supervisors has encouraged a partnership with Singing River Health System to enhance local investment, but negotiations have been challenging. Meanwhile, the Board is pursuing a separate $35 million Bass Pro Shops project that won’t benefit county sales tax. An open discussion is scheduled for March 3rd.

Design plans are being revised to only include a Memorial Endoscopy Facility.
