SUMMARY: The weather forecast for today is a beautiful start to the day, but clouds will increase and there will be a chance of rain later on. Temperatures are comfortable, ranging from the 60s to 80s. Winds will increase from the east Southeast, reaching speeds of 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon. A cold front will move towards the area, causing gusty winds. Next week, cooler temperatures are expected with possible overnight lows in the mid-40s. There will be multiple chances of rainfall over the next seven days. Hurricane Tammy has weakened and is now Post-Tropical Tammy.

Thursday October 26th, 2023: This persistent pattern looks to stay around through the short-
term period as upper-level ridging meanders over the northern
Gulf. Surface winds have remained elevated as the deepening low
pressure over the central US tightens the pressure gradient
between it and the surface high over the southeast US. This has
mostly kept our fog development at bay as the high winds help to
mix out the boundary layer enough. Although, where winds remain
light, can`t rule out some patches of fog here or there, not
nearly as dense and widespread as the beginning of the week.
Mentionable PoPs have been added through the river parishes as
CAMs continue to depict shower development in that area where
low-level convergence in the wind field maxes out. The profile
suggests that these showers will be no more than just showers as
we remain too warm aloft from the ridge to promote more robust
storm development.

As the trough over the southern plains ejects off to the
northeast, it will take the surface low with it and that will help
to relax the pressure gradient, which will in turn lower winds
back down. Although winds will be lighter, they will still remain
elevated enough to keep fog development minimal Friday morning.
The ridge will still be in place over us, so expect much of the
same conditions as today, except winds slightly less than
Thursday.

SUMMARY: Long Beach leaders have approved an agreement to develop a casino on the former Kmart property, a deal nearly ten years in the making. The Long Beach Board of Aldermen unanimously granted a 40-year lease to Long Beach Harbor Resorts, owned by Jim Parish, who also runs a restaurant at the harbor. Construction must begin within three years and the casino must open within five. Mayor George Bass emphasizes this might be the city’s only chance for a casino, which he believes could boost the local economy and provide funds for the school district, alongside a million dollars for first responder infrastructure.

In the next five years, a casino could be opened in Long Beach.

SUMMARY: In this edition of Expert Talk, Michelle Eubank interviews Danielle Gillery from Senior Medicare Patrol about Medicare open enrollment, which occurs from October 15 to December 7. This period allows Medicare beneficiaries to review and modify their healthcare and drug plans. Gillery highlights the prevalence of fraud during this time, where beneficiaries may be pressured to change plans or unknowingly agree to changes through deceptive calls. She advises never answering “yes” to questions over the phone and emphasizes that Medicare will never call beneficiaries directly. For assistance, she encourages reaching out to Senior Medicare Patrol for help.
