SUMMARY: The Weather Authority is predicting severe weather in Mississippi with an enhanced risk for severe weather in the orange-shaded areas and a slight risk in the yellow-shaded areas. Alerts are in place for gale warnings, wind advisories, and tornado watches. A cold front is driving a line of storms towards the Gulf Coast, with uncertainty whether the storms will be in a linear segment or broken up into individual cells. Strong winds and warm, humid air are contributing to the severe weather risk. Models show the storms moving through by late morning, with the possibility of individual cellular storms increasing the tornado threat. Stay tuned for updates on the evolving weather situation.

There are some small indications that the mid level heights could rise a little, but will likely remain steady all night and not actually drop until the early morning hours. The low level wind field already has been responding to the increase in lift but as the bulk of the strong mid level punch move into the northern portions of the Lower Mississippi Valley, the low level jet that was developing over the western Gulf and has aided in the convection off to our west will quickly lift north into Mississippi tonight and we could be at the tale end of the low level jet with the core all the way over western Tennessee. This would actually promote low level divergence as stronger southerly winds over southern Mississippi remove the air faster than the slightly weaker winds over Southern Louisiana can replace it.

As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Sound Coalition is fighting against pollution caused by the 2019 Bonnie Cary Spillway openings. Studies show that a Louisiana diversion project could further harm the waters of the Mississippi Sound, causing devastation to marine life and the fishing industry. Officials in Louisiana want to rebuild marshlands with diversion water, but the Coalition believes this will be harmful. They are also concerned about potential negative impacts from opening the spillway more in the future. The Coalition is working to prevent these harmful impacts and protect the Mississippi Sound and surrounding areas from destruction. They are also focused on protecting the Louisiana Fisheries from being destroyed.

The Mississippi Sound Coalition says it is working to prevent harmful impacts to the Mississippi Sound.

SUMMARY: A small portion of Deer Island, a 400-acre wilderness island owned by the state, is up for sale for $3.5 million. The owner, Larry Matranga, purchased a section of Deer Island in 2004 but has been unable to develop it due to infrastructure challenges and changing economic conditions. Several development projects have been proposed over the years, including a resort with a $900 million price tag, but none have come to fruition. Matranga remains hopeful that a sale could breathe new life into his dream of developing Deer Island, which sees 16 million visitors annually. Various transportation options, such as duckboats, ferries, or a gondola system, have been considered for access to the island.
