Sen. Wicker speaks on the latest developments on the KC-46′s possibility of coming to Meridian
SUMMARY: The United States Air Force has shortlisted seven cities, including Key Field Air National Guard Base in Meridian, to potentially receive the next generation of air refueling tanker aircraft. Currently operating aging KC-135s, many built in the 1960s and 1950s, Key Field could benefit significantly from an upgrade, providing vital infrastructure and construction jobs. Senator Roger Wicker emphasizes the importance of this development for Meridian and the future of U.S. defense capabilities. However, with an upcoming administration change in January, discussions may prolong the decision-making process.

9/30- The first day of October brings seasonable weather
SUMMARY: As September ends and October begins, average rainfall typically drops below 4 inches, with high temperatures starting around the mid-80s and ending in the mid-70s. Locally, temperatures are expected to rise near 90 midweek due to a high-pressure system. While an upper low brings cloud cover and scattered showers, it will move away, allowing for more sunshine. In the tropics, active systems include Tropical Storm Kirk, which may develop into a major hurricane but poses no local threat. Overall, expect seasonable conditions with patchy fog, seasonal temperatures, and a pleasant upcoming weekend.
