SUMMARY: Good morning, South Mississippi! After two and a half weeks of gray skies, hazy conditions, and humidity, changes are finally coming. While some clouds and spotty showers may remain this morning, the weather will clear up throughout the day. Winds from the northwest are pushing the haziness out, though we may still see occasional showers, particularly around 9-10 AM. A weak front is moving through, bringing minimal rain and only slight cooling, with temperatures staying in the upper 70s. Expect a mostly sunny and beautiful week ahead, with clear skies and low humidity by Tuesday, leading to a perfect weekend.

Parkinson’s affects around 10 million people in the U.S., with someone diagnosed every six minutes. Early signs include loss of smell, constipation, and more, often unnoticed until several symptoms appear. Events on the Mississippi Gulf Coast include special Parkinson’s awareness cookies at Edgewater Mall, support groups, and proclamations. On April 24th, Canes is holding a giveback day for the foundation. The Parkinson’s Foundation offers resources, support groups, and education, with a focus on ensuring timely medication and movement for patients in hospitals.
