Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen: “Pre-Thanksgiving” 10PM Forecast
SUMMARY: The Weather Authority reports calm winds this evening as seen from the Golden Nugget Tower camera. Satellite and radar imagery indicates cloud build-up in the area, though the movement might not be apparent. Northerly winds will continue tonight, leading to mostly overcast skies over the Mississippi Gulf Coast and parts of Southern Louisiana for the holiday. Rainfall is not certain despite cloud coverage. Temperature-wise, coastal areas are in the lower 50s, while inland sees low to mid-40s. Due to lower dew points and winds, overnight lows won’t drop as much. A high-pressure system means continued north-northeast winds and slightly lower overnight temperatures than previously expected. Some models predict spotty showers or bands of rain for Thursday. The forecast includes a modest 20% chance of rain for the holiday to prevent disrupting plans.
Wednesday November 22nd, 2023: Dewpoints are one of reasons the Mississippi Gulf Coast will be chilly tonight. Overnight lows will be a good bit cooler than Tuesday night. Dewpoints dropped into the upper 30s to lower 40s for most of the area. Another aspect of tonights cooler temperatures are the winds. Winds on the Gulf Coast look like they’ll collapse. In simple terms, for all you at home, that will help temperatures drop quickly this evening. Though we will still be cooler than Tuesday night by a decent margin, overnight lows still will not quite reach the potential they could have; if conditions were more straightforward. A large reason for that is a large amount of high clouds streaming in overnight. Those high clouds jack up our traditional radiational cooling setup.
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.
