SUMMARY: Happy Friday! We're looking at our current rainfall status for July. June ended dry with a 2-inch deficit, and early July is nearly an inch behind, with only 0.31 inches of rain in Meridian today. Notably, other areas received more. Portions of Noxubee and Clarke Counties are abnormally dry, but recent rain has been beneficial. More rain is expected south of I-20 tonight and over the weekend, with showers likely into Saturday and Sunday. Tropical Storm Barry, likely to strengthen, could bring additional moisture to Mississippi early next week. Overall, expect warm, muggy weather with scattered showers and thunderstorms.

SUMMARY: Wayne County leaders, including emergency responders and state officials, are working to enhance security in schools and government buildings. The focus is on understanding each building's potential hazards and improving response strategies. Grants administrator Sean Dunlap emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to prevent future incidents, referencing a 2022 case where a student was caught with a gun at Wayne County High School.

SUMMARY: Summer is winding down, and the Pine Belt's Richon School District is gearing up for a new school year starting August 1st. Despite the quiet summer, Superintendent Klay Angland says it's a busy period for school leaders. Students recently completed state testing, and while improvements are needed, progress is notable. A $200,000 project to replace the basketball court is expected to be finished before school starts. Policy-wise, few changes are anticipated, but the student handbook will see minor updates. Registration will reopen this month, with details shared on social media.
