11/13 – Jeff Vorick’s “Rain Moves Back In” Monday Morning Forecast
SUMMARY: The People’s Bank sponsors the Weather Authority, and the forecast for Mississippi calls for a gloomy day with rain expected to increase later on, especially along the I-10 Corridor into Louisiana. Current temperatures are cool, ranging from mid to high 50s, with a slight increase along the beachfront. Rain chances grow from 30% before noon to 70% by the afternoon, with highs peaking at 66 degrees and windy conditions anticipated. Overnight, rain chances soar to 80-90%, with steady rain persisting into tomorrow, potentially leading to flooding in areas with poor drainage. The region may receive 2 to 4 inches of rain, with a marginal threat of flash flooding. Winds will be gusty, and a Coastal Flood Watch is in effect for certain counties. The remainder of the week will remain cloudy, with conditions improving towards the weekend as a cold front moves in.
SUMMARY: In October 2017, a new world record lightning bolt was detected, flashing across more than 500 miles. A study published in the American Meteorological Society Journal revealed satellite data showing a single lightning strike traveling from Texas through Oklahoma and Arkansas into Missouri. This surpassed the previous record of a lightning bolt stretching over South Mississippi in April 2020. The 2017 lightning event was part of a complex of storms stretching from Texas to South Mississippi, with satellite data indicating the bolt traveled 477 miles, setting a new record for the longest lightning flash ever observed.
The previous record was held by a bolt that flashed across the Gulf Coast and South Mississippi.

SUMMARY: The Attorney General’s office has concluded its investigation into a 2024 officer-involved shooting at the William Bell Apartments in Gulfport. Police responded to reports of screams inside an apartment and found Kendrall Tate actively stabbing another man. The Gulfport police officer involved shot Tate, who later died from his injuries. The AG’s investigation determined the use of force was justified. This finding comes alongside reviews of two other officer-involved shootings in Corinth and Meridian, which were also examined by Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office.
After the investigation by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, the Attorney General’s Office said the use of force was justified.
