8/15 – Jeff Vorick’s “Thunderstorms Early” Tuesday Evening Forecast
SUMMARY: A cold front heralded by scattered showers and thunderstorms is due to bring relief from hot temperatures in South Mississippi. As the front approaches, it will cause winds to shift to the north and result in clearer skies. However, the heat and humidity will likely return toward the end of the week, with the possibility of more rain due to a tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Education announced that 84% of third graders passed the 2023-24 reading assessment, slightly down from 84.9% in the previous year. However, a record 57.7% achieved proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA), continuing a positive trend since 2016. The Literacy-Based Promotion Act requires third graders to score at least Level 3 to be promoted to fourth grade, with support for schools focusing on high-quality materials and Science of Reading training. Students can attempt the test three times, and those who do not pass may be retained unless qualifying for certain exemptions.

SUMMARY: Vice President Kamala Harris congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the 2024 presidential race and emphasized the importance of a peaceful transfer of power. Harris prepared her concession speech to be delivered later at Howard University. While polls showed a close race, Trump was projected to have secured 276 electoral votes against Harris’s 223. President Joe Biden also planned to call Trump to offer congratulations and an invitation to the White House. Harris, who launched her campaign after Biden withdrew, struggled to resonate with voters compared to Trump, who emphasized his economic and foreign policy strengths despite legal challenges.
