Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen: “Drought Buster” 10PM Forecast
SUMMARY: Weather patterns are changing with rain and thunderstorms moving closer to the Mississippi Gulf Coast after weeks of sunshine and dry weather. A frontal system is approaching, bringing rain to parts of Southern Louisiana and Central Mississippi. Friday will see wet weather across the Gulf Coast, with relief from drought conditions. The front may stall out, prolonging the rain. The forecast includes scattered showers over the next few days, with Friday being the heaviest rainfall. Thunderstorms are not a major concern, but temperatures will not drop significantly. Overall, the Gulf Coast is expected to receive a decent amount of refreshing rainfall.
Thursday November 9th, 2023: The past few weeks have been characterized by continued sunshine and warm temperatures on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Alongside our warm second half of October and warm first half of November, there have been drawbacks. As we came into the fall season carrying over slight drought conditions from summer, our long dry and warm strings have placed southern Mississippi into decently concerning drought categories. Thankfully, as Thursday night turns into Friday morning, the weather pattern will quickly begin the process of flipping to one where the entire southern half of Mississippi will see drought relief.
A cold front currently stretching from New York through northern Mississippi and into central Texas, will continue to progress slowly southeastward and should make its way into the local area by Friday morning. The front is expected to crawl into the northern Gulf and stall as upper flow becomes parallel to the boundary. The front will sit there through the remainder of the weekend. With big moisture over the Gulf Coast, we should see widespread showers across the region associated with the front itself, though amounts won`t be overly impressive. Even after the surface boundary slides into the Gulf, rain chances will remain elevated following that.
As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.

SUMMARY: The future of the Legacy Park multi-use center in Jackson County is uncertain due to funding issues. Originally planned as a retail, restaurant, and healthcare hub, recent revisions now focus solely on a memorial endoscopy facility. Developer Dr. Saka expresses disappointment, highlighting the project’s potential impact on the community. The Jackson County Board of Supervisors has encouraged a partnership with Singing River Health System to enhance local investment, but negotiations have been challenging. Meanwhile, the Board is pursuing a separate $35 million Bass Pro Shops project that won’t benefit county sales tax. An open discussion is scheduled for March 3rd.
Design plans are being revised to only include a Memorial Endoscopy Facility.

FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Cooler weather today, rainy conditions for Sunday parades (2/22/2025)
SUMMARY: Today in South Mississippi, temperatures will reach close to 60°F, with light, spotty showers primarily in central areas this morning. As parades occur, carrying an umbrella is advisable. A more significant rain event is expected tomorrow due to a system developing off Texas, leading to widespread heavy rain on Sunday, causing many parades in New Orleans to be canceled. After the rain clears by Sunday evening, temperatures will improve next week, reaching the 70s with mostly clear skies. Additionally, a planetary parade will be visible starting Tuesday, offering a chance to see seven planets in the night sky.
Meteorologist Aaron Colby details Saturday’s weather conditions and rainy conditions on Sunday impacting parades here in South Mississippi.
SUMMARY: Scammers posing as the Buuy Municipal Court are targeting South Mississippians, prompting police warnings. Citizens are cautioned against clicking links in suspicious texts, such as those claiming missed court dates. Mississippi State University’s cyber education director emphasizes personal cybersecurity measures, including keeping devices updated and using unique passwords for different accounts. In 2022, the Federal Trade Commission reported losses of $330 million to text scams. Scammers send various deceptive messages, often pretending to be from banks or services users do not engage with. Experts advise skepticism and prompt reporting of scams to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
Experts say scammers try to gain your trust and push for quick action, but being skeptical can help prevent you from becoming a victim.
