SUMMARY: Good morning, South Mississippi! Today features beautiful blue skies with comfortable temperatures in the mid to upper 60s and low 70s along the Gulf Coast. This afternoon will remain sunny, but humidity is expected to increase, paving the way for possible thunderstorms tomorrow. Most areas stay dry today, with only a few spotty showers in northern Mississippi. There’s a potential for tropical development in the next week, but significant storms are not anticipated for the next 24-48 hours. Hurricane Kirk is projected to become a major hurricane, but it will move out into the Atlantic away from land.

SUMMARY: Gulfport is preparing to assist its sister city, Gulfport, Florida, which was severely affected by Hurricane Idalia. Mayor Billy Hughes emphasized the importance of helping small communities often overlooked after disasters. Previously supported after Hurricane Katrina, Gulfport aims to “pay it forward” through initiatives like “One Coast One Recovery.” Residents can donate essential supplies such as water, cleaning items, and canned goods at local fire departments. The city will communicate ongoing needs via its website and social media, facilitating continuous support efforts, including potential cooking crews for rescue workers and residents.
