SUMMARY: This morning, preparations for Buxy's 4th of July celebration were underway as $43,000 worth of fireworks were loaded onto a barge. Set to be launched in an 18-minute display from the north side of Deer Island, the show is orchestrated by J&M Display and funded by over 75 sponsors, including the city of Beloy and local casinos. The Boom Boom Committee, established in 1977, organizes this event, the largest publicly sponsored fireworks show in the southeastern U.S. The best viewing spot is between the Blind Tiger and the Bluy Small Craft Harbor. Bill Snider of WX News reported on the festivities.

Bill Snyder joins us from Biloxi with more on the hard work that goes into setting up for the city's Independence Day firework show.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Barrel, with winds of 130 mph, is moving toward the Yucatan Peninsula at 21 mph. While powerful, it's a small storm with hurricane-force winds extending only 70 miles, making it more susceptible to land interaction. It's being steered west by a high-pressure ridge and is expected to cross into the southwestern Gulf by Friday. Texas may need to prepare for potential impact by Sunday or Monday. Additionally, Invest 96L has a low chance of developing as it moves across the Caribbean but will be monitored closely. Typical hit-and-miss showers and thunderstorms are expected tomorrow.
