9/1 – Jeff’s “Unsettled At Times” Labor Day Weekend Forecast
SUMMARY: Scattered thunderstorm activity and rain is expected overnight and throughout the holiday weekend across South Mississippi. A stationary front will offer windows of rain chances. While there is potential for flash flooding in some areas, the rain is needed and will be largely beneficial. Despite the unsettled weather, conditions will not be a total washout and residents are advised not to cancel plans. In the tropics, a number of activities are being monitored but there are no immediate threats to the Mississippi Coast.

Biden’s student loan cancellation free to move forward as court order expires
SUMMARY: A Georgia judge allowed President Biden‘s student loan cancellation plan to proceed, dismissing the lawsuit from Georgia and transferring the case to Missouri. This plan, held up since September by legal challenges from seven Republican-led states, aims to forgive debt for approximately 30 million borrowers. The ruling enables the Education Department to finalize the cancellation process, potentially as soon as Friday. Missouri’s lawsuit claims that the cancellation will harm its student loan servicer, MOHELA, by affecting its revenue. Republican states argue the Department circumvented necessary waiting periods for implementing new rules.
