SUMMARY: Heavy rain continues in Laurel, with gusty winds at 28 mph, wet roads, and temperatures at 77-79°F. Rain is falling along the 84 Corridor, with lightning in areas like Mount Olive and Sandersville. Showers should dissipate later. The first system of the 2024 hurricane season, potential Tropical Storm Alberto, is 380 miles southeast of La Pesca, Mexico, and expected to make landfall south of the Texas-Mexico border. It poses no threat locally due to a heat dome, which will also bring higher temperatures, reaching 97°F by Sunday. Another tropical disturbance near Florida is unlikely to affect local weather.

SUMMARY: The trade industry faces a shortage of skilled workers, particularly electricians, as experienced professionals age out. Electricians are essential in installing electrical, lighting, and control systems in buildings. Jeff Franks, Electrical Technology Program Director at ICC, aims to develop a steady stream of skilled workers to meet high demand. Students in the program can work in manufacturing, residential construction, and various environments across the U.S., earning while they learn. The median pay for electricians is over $60,000, with Mississippi requiring a license for the profession. This initiative ensures a continuous supply of proficient electricians, emphasizing safety and expertise.

WTVA's Michelle Martin explains how to get into the electrical trade.
