FIRST ALERT: Cold blast and the Alberta Clipper (12/19/2024)
SUMMARY: An Alberta Clipper system is moving across the Midwest, causing significant snow and bringing colder temperatures to South Mississippi this weekend. Currently near the Great Lakes, it’s expected to push cold, dry air as it travels south, with lows potentially reaching freezing and frost occurring inland. Friday temperatures will be in the low to mid-60s before rapidly dropping overnight. Saturday morning could see temperatures in the 30s, with highs only reaching the low to mid-50s. As the holiday approaches, warmer temperatures in the 60s are anticipated, with a chance of rain by mid-next week, leading to low 70s by Christmas Day.
Meteorologist Aaron Colby brings the latest on a cold weather and what it has to do with the Alberta Clipper.

Immigration lawyer reacts to ongoing ICE raids across Gulf Coast
SUMMARY: ICE raids continue nationwide, impacting undocumented migrants, especially in the Gulf Coast. Local immigration lawyer Natalia Porsche reports an uptick in calls from clients and relatives concerned about family members who are legally seeking asylum. Many targeted are domestic violence survivors who have lived in the U.S. for years. Porsche emphasizes that children brought to the U.S. by parents are not at fault and face unnecessary risks. She warns green card holders to remain cautious, as any issue could lead to removal, and advises obtaining citizenship as soon as possible to enhance protections.
ICE raids are continuing across the country, and the effects are being felt here on the Gulf Coast.

Imported vs. Domestic: The fight to protect Gulf seafood
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are debating new seafood labeling laws that would require restaurants to disclose if menu items like crab, shrimp, and oysters are from the U.S. or other countries. The goal is to increase transparency for consumers. Some, like Chef Dalton Hendricks of Jordan River Steamer, advocate for local seafood, emphasizing community pride. While the seafood industry supports disclosure, concerns exist over potential costs, such as $4,800 annually for menu reprints. With fishermen facing challenges, local businesses prioritize supporting Gulf seafood. The bills, currently under debate, may soon move to the opposite chamber for a vote.
Mississippi lawmakers are considering House Bill 602 and Senate Bill 2014, both designed to ensure consumers know whether seafood is imported or locally sourced
