Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen: “Fog Horn” 10PM Forecast
SUMMARY: The Weather Authority provides an evening weather update with a view of Bay St Louis from the HL Raymond properties Tower camera. The weather is stable and tranquil, but patterns are expected to change throughout the week, with increased cloud cover and fog forming overnight. Overnight lows will be around 62-63°F with dense fog likely in the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Southern Louisiana. Humidity levels are high, increasing the likelihood of fog formation. The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory for Mississippi and Louisiana, warning of visibility below 100 ft in some areas. A frontal system arriving on Friday will bring much-needed rainfall.
Wednesday November 8th, 2023: High pressure continues to sit to the east of Mississippi,
allowing for gradual moisture return and dew point temperatures
that increased statewide. A broad surface trough of low pressure
moving through the Midwest has slightly tightened the pressure gradient,
which is why our daytime wind speeds increased to 15-20 mph but they
are already decreasing as the trough quickly departs and the gradient
weakens tonight. Despite the morning fog and upper-level cirrus, Daytime
highs reached the low to mid 80s from the coast moving north in our area.
The National Weather Service once again has focused tonight on a recently
familiar hazard, because it's basically the only big problem tonight.
That problem is patchy dense fog and straight up dense fog across the coast.

Mercy Cross homeless center opens, Diocese of Biloxi addresses 'tent city' concerns
SUMMARY: The old Mercy Cross High School in Buxy has been transformed into a homeless resource center, officially opened today by the diocese of Buxy. The facility will serve the local homeless population, often referred to as “tent city.” The gymnasium now features air conditioning and will host weekly meals provided by Feed My Sheep. The Fieldhouse has been renovated as an emergency shelter for men and women. The former Boys and Girls Club building will house medical services weekly.
