SUMMARY: This week marks 162 years since the Battle of Corinth, fought from October 3-4, 1862, between Confederate and Union troops over a strategic railroad crossroads. The battle resulted in significant casualties and ended in a Confederate loss, although it occupied Union forces as Confederates advanced on other fronts. The railroads’ importance was pivotal, with the crossroads being critical for logistics, influencing subsequent battles like Shiloh. To commemorate the anniversary, Shiloh National Military Park will hold events from Thursday to Saturday. More details are available on the WTVA website under the Highlighting History section.

This week will mark the 162nd anniversary of bloodshed in the City of Corinth.

SUMMARY: The weather in the Pine Belt is cool and clear, with temperatures dropping into the upper 50s and low 60s. Winds are light, with a slight northeasterly breeze. Tonight’s temperatures will cool rapidly after sunset, thanks to a dry air mass. The Gulf of Mexico’s warmth keeps coastal areas a bit warmer. The drought conditions are still affecting parts of the region, especially in the Pine Belt and southern areas. Tropical Storm Sara is slowly moving west, expected to weaken by Monday. Rain chances return late Monday into early Tuesday, with pleasant weather expected for the rest of the week.
