SUMMARY: In the Northwestern Caribbean, thunderstorm activity is increasing, possibly leading to the development of a well-defined center, with a chance of becoming Tropical Cyclone 15, moving westward towards land, potentially across the Yucatan Peninsula. Tropical alerts are issued for the area. Meanwhile, much of the U.S. is under calm conditions with temperatures dropping to the low 40s. Next week, warmer weather in the 80s is expected, but a dry trend continues with below-average rainfall. The weekend weather looks favorable for the Festival on Front Street in Meridian, where attendees should prepare for cooler evening temperatures.

SUMMARY: A local family, the Michaels, is aiming to break the world record for the tallest okra plant, currently standing at 16 feet 4.5 inches. Their plant, measured at 16 feet 3.5 inches, grows approximately an inch daily, making a record-breaking achievement likely. The Michaels, who planted the okra in May, attribute its growth to “secret soil.” Universities, including Delta State, have shown interest, with the college planning to create a promotional video featuring their okra mascot. They have a second plant measuring 13 feet 8 inches, potentially making them record holders for both positions.
