SUMMARY: Good morning, South Mississippi! The weather is clear but cloudier than yesterday, with lingering snow melting as temperatures rise above freezing. Current temperatures are in the teens, and some areas report frost on windshields. Expect highs in the mid-40s, aiding the melting process, but shaded spots may still have ice. Cloud cover will gradually decrease, leading to more sun later in the day. Warmer weather is on the horizon for Saturday as winds shift, bringing in warmer air. By next week, temperatures will comfortably reach the 50s, staying above average for lows.

SUMMARY: The Diberville cold weather shelter is experiencing an unprecedented influx of over 130 guests, the highest number in its 15-year history. Organizer Wendy Swatman noted the challenges of accommodating so many individuals but emphasized that no one is left outside. The shelter has expanded to the nearby Civic Center to manage the demand. Among the guests are Ashley Pierce and Keegan Thompson, who previously lived in a tent but are now awaiting their own apartment through Veterans Affairs. They express gratitude for the shelter’s support, which includes blankets and food, as they endure the harsh cold.

“It’s been a struggle, but we’ve accommodated. Nobody is going to be left on the street.”

SUMMARY: Despite clear skies and a beautiful sunrise in Gulfport, Mississippi, the cold temperatures remain dangerously low, with some areas experiencing single-digit temperatures. Parker Boyd reports from Jones Park, where the snow-covered landscape gives off a holiday vibe reminiscent of Christmas. While the snow is picturesque, it poses a serious risk due to icy conditions on the roads. Locals, unaccustomed to such weather, are urged to take extra caution when venturing out. The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is working to clear the roads, but travel may still be challenging across the region.

Snow-packed roads across South Mississippi will be icy and dangerous Wednesday.
