SUMMARY: Residents around Amry are concerned about an out-of-commission tornado siren in West Amry, especially after a devastating ef3 tornado hit the city in March. The city has been testing their sirens frequently in preparation for tornado season, but a siren in West Amry is faulty and out of commission. This has left residents feeling uneasy, especially with recent tornado watches and the trauma from the previous tornado. The mayor of Amry says the siren can be fixed for $27,000, but in the meantime, there are backup plans in place, including renting alternative sirens and positioning fire units to serve as backup. The sirens should be back up and running soon. Residents are encouraged to download the WTV weather app for the latest updates.

WTVA reporter Jake White spoke with the mayor of Amory and residents to learn more about a faulty tornado siren in west Amory.

SUMMARY: Christian artist TobyMac reflected on his evolving music style ahead of his performance at the Brandon Amphitheater. Rooted in hip hop, R\&B, and soul, he says his sound has mellowed over time, shaped by life’s ups and downs. Though he sometimes tires of older songs like “Speak Life,” their enduring message keeps them meaningful. He continues to blend new hits like “Cornerstone” and “I Just Need You” into his setlist, skipping “Good Morning” out of respect for collaborator Mandisa. TobyMac promises fans a joyful, diverse, and unified show experience, filled with both nostalgic favorites and fresh, relevant music.

SUMMARY: Scattered afternoon storms may disrupt outdoor plans today, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and heat index values in the mid-90s. Overnight temperatures will dip to the 70s. More storms are possible tomorrow, especially in the Delta during the morning, with widespread storms expected by afternoon. A high-pressure system near Baja California will shift northward this week, reducing rain chances but increasing heat and humidity. By midweek through the weekend, isolated afternoon storms remain possible. Temperatures will rise into the mid-90s by the weekend, with real feel values reaching 105–110 degrees. Stay weather-aware and hydrated.
