SUMMARY: WDM 7’s Chief Meteorologist Patrick Bigby provides updates on Hurricane Barrel, which has caused significant damage in the southern Windward Islands, now impacting Jamaica with rainbands and gusty winds. The storm is expected to head towards the Cayman Islands and the Yucatan Peninsula before possibly re-intensifying towards Texas or northern Mexico next week. In addition, heat and humidity continue in the area, with increasing rain chances and a slightly cooler weekend. Fourth of July festivities include various fireworks displays, with minimal rainfall expected. Detailed insights are also given into the science of fireworks and flying insects’ attraction to light.

SUMMARY: Jones County law enforcement reports an uptick in vehicle crashes along Highway 84, with Mississippi Highway Patrol responding to 11 incidents in the last two weeks. Many crashes result from driver distractions, like cell phone use and speeding over the 65 mph limit. Fire departments often arrive first at accident scenes, noting that high-impact collisions usually indicate excessive speed as a factor. Recent crashes have led to severe injuries, prompting lane closures and increased pressure on emergency responders, who are currently operating at reduced manpower. Authorities urge drivers to minimize distractions and adhere to speed limits for safety.

SUMMARY: The WTK weather app features stunning sunset photos from users, including Lisa’s “Autumn Sunset” and April’s “Clark County sunset with Geese.” The region is currently experiencing beautiful sunset colors, though unsettled weather remains along the Texas Coast and Gulf of Mexico, with a potential tropical cyclone developing soon but posing no local threat. A cold front will bring cooler temperatures next week, transitioning the mornings to a fall feel, with low 50s expected. Ensuing days may reach the upper 80s, but the forecast shows a continued trend of comfortable nighttime temperatures.
