SUMMARY: Meteorologist John Delk explains the difference between drizzle and rain, answering a question from Gary Warts. The key distinction lies in droplet size: rain droplets exceed 0.2 mm in diameter, while drizzle droplets are smaller. Drizzle consists of more numerous, smaller droplets falling slowly (2-4 mph), resulting in lower visibility similar to fog. In contrast, rain falls faster (7-20 mph), leading to reduced but better visibility. The process of coalescence merges smaller droplets into larger ones, creating rainfall, while drizzle remains dispersed. Overall, the size and quantity of droplets define the differences between these two precipitation types.

SUMMARY: Walker Mim, a Mississippi high school baseball player, faced a life-altering Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis. Concerned about his son’s unusual throwing motion, Walker’s father prompted an MRI that revealed cancer instead of a shoulder injury. Despite the harsh treatments, Walker remained resilient. Make A Wish Mississippi granted him a wish to attend the World Series, marking a symbol of hope as he completed his treatment. Supported by his family and community, who wore “Walker Strong” bracelets, he found strength in his faith, particularly through Philippians 4:13. Thankfully, Walker is now feeling well and embracing life again.
