10/7 – Trey Tonnessen's “Cruisin' Cast” Monday Night Forecast
SUMMARY: This week‘s weather on the Mississippi Gulf Coast is expected to be sunny and pleasant, with comfortable temperatures and decreasing humidity. A cold front aids these conditions, keeping showers and thunderstorms away. Temperatures will gradually cool to the mid to upper 60s at night. Notably, Hurricane Milton is a Category 5 storm moving northeast, but the front is steering it away from the coast, resulting in a calm week with little to no rainfall. While the local weather remains favorable, thoughts are with those affected by the hurricane in Florida.

Milton most intense Gulf hurricane in nearly 20 years
SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton is approaching record intensity, with winds of 180 mph and a pressure around 95 millibars, making it the fifth strongest hurricane recorded in the Gulf of Mexico. The hurricane’s eye is contracting, indicating potential intensification. Hurricane Hunters are monitoring the storm as it gains strength in an area with little wind shear. Although weakening is expected as Milton heads toward Florida, the state should prepare for significant wind and storm surge impacts. As the storm moves northeast, it will face increased wind shear, likely leading to a decrease in intensity. South Mississippi remains unaffected positively.

SUMMARY: This week‘s “Megan Monday” features 20-year-old Gavin Harwell, who recently completed the entire Appalachian Trail, spanning 2,190 miles from Georgia to Maine in 204 days. Gavin reflects on stunning moments such as Franconia Ridge in New Hampshire, a challenging yet rewarding climb.
