Coast Trivia: ‘Biloxi Bacon,’ French dressing on pizza, famous song lyrics
SUMMARY: This morning, a game of coast trivia is being played. The goal is to see who knows the most about the history of our community. The host asks a question about a type of fish widely known as Biloxi Bacon. Participants try to guess which fish it is, but no one seems to know. Some guesses include stripped mullet, flounder, and speckled trout. One participant considers guessing drone, but ultimately decides against it. The host mentions that Biloxi Bacon is something that would be rare. The content ends with the participants still unsure about the correct answer.
Tune in for this week’s Coast Trivia, where the Good Morning Mississippi crew is quizzed about all-things-Coast.

FIRST ALERT: Pleasant mornings, hot afternoons expected (09/03/2025)
SUMMARY: South Mississippi will experience pleasant mornings with temperatures in the 60s and 70s, followed by hot afternoons reaching the 90s. Tonight is quiet and comfortable, with light south winds and no significant weather activity. A dip in the jet stream brings cooler, drier air and wind shear, limiting tropical activity in the Gulf. Rain chances are low, with only stray showers possible. Water conditions are calm with northwest to southeast winds at 5-10 knots and seas 1-2 feet. The Atlantic has a high chance of tropical development, but it is expected to stay away from the Gulf, posing more concern for the East Coast.
Chief Meteorlogist Eric Jeansonne explains why relief from the summer heat may come during the earlier hours of the day.
