SUMMARY: Meteorologist Trey Tonis provided an update on Tropical Storm Francine, which is expected to approach Southeastern Louisiana as a potential hurricane. While residents of South Mississippi shouldn’t panic, preparation is key, including access to sandbag locations. The storm’s track indicates heavy rain and possible spin-up tornadoes in the area due to being on the “dirty side” of the storm. Current atmospheric conditions are favorable for storm development, and flooding risks are heightened by existing moisture from recent storms. The National Hurricane Center warns of storm surge impacts, especially for Louisiana. More updates will follow throughout the evening.

SUMMARY: South Mississippi is experiencing a pleasant Monday, though chances of hit or miss showers will occur in the afternoon. A tropical disturbance in the western Gulf of Mexico, with winds up to 50 mph, is being monitored by the National Hurricane Center and could develop into a tropical storm and then a Category 1 hurricane by tomorrow, likely making landfall in Louisiana. Coastal Mississippi may see impacts from this system, including increased winds and potential tropical storm alerts by Wednesday. Residents should stay weather aware as conditions evolve throughout the week.

As of Monday morning, no system has fully formed yet so it’s still too early to know all the specific details on the forecast.
