SUMMARY: The Crescent City Grill in Hattiesburg has introduced four new Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, named John, Paul, George, and Ringo. These stations enable drivers to travel up to 40 miles with a 1-hour charge and cater to those staying for extended periods, unlike fast chargers designed for quick stops. Restaurant owners installed them after EV Mississippi identified a need for more stations in the bustling Midtown area. While the chargers primarily serve the restaurant, they are open to the public and accessible via a downloadable app. Additionally, adapters are available for older EV models and Teslas.

SUMMARY: Happy Sunday Pine Belt! Today's weather mirrored yesterday with scattered thunderstorms and some rain. Temperatures reached 83°F, slightly warmer than normal. Rainfall varied, with up to 4 inches in the southern areas. Most places received minimal rain. In the tropics, Hurricane Barrel, a potent Category 4 storm, became the earliest Category 4 on record. It's moving westward with favorable conditions, potentially affecting the Yucatan Peninsula. Evening temperatures will drop to 76°F with diminishing rain chances, making fireworks shows likely unaffected. Tomorrow and Tuesday will see isolated storms with lower rain chances, looking favorable for Independence Day. Stay tuned for updates!
