SUMMARY: Tuesday began with heavy showers, which will clear by afternoon, leaving cloudy skies and warm, muggy conditions, with temperatures reaching 76-77°F. The rain results from a cold front interacting with warm Gulf moisture. Showers will mainly affect western Alabama by 8 a.m., moving eastward throughout the morning. By late afternoon, lingering showers are possible, but skies will clear by 10 p.m. Cooler temperatures are expected over the next few days, dropping to upper 60s by Wednesday and potentially into the mid-30s at night, raising frost concerns. Expect breezy conditions with gusts up to 30 mph before sunshine returns later in the week.

SUMMARY: Kayin Triplet has been charged with felony commercial burglary after allegedly breaking into a Tupelo convenience store and stealing merchandise. The incident occurred last Monday when Triplet broke in through the rear door of the Express shop, prompting employees to board it up. Local residents expressed their disappointment, urging individuals to pursue legitimate jobs or education instead of resorting to theft. A store cashier noted that the community works hard for their belongings and deserves to feel safe, highlighting that this isn’t the first crime at this location, following an armed robbery investigation last year.
