SUMMARY: The weather across South Mississippi remains calm and warm, with temperatures in the 70s. A cold front moving through Texas brings showers and thunderstorms to the north, but the Magnolia State stays quiet. Overnight, temperatures will stay mild in the lower 70s, thanks to cloud cover. By Thursday, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected, with Friday holding a higher chance for stronger storms. Saturday will see lingering rain, but after the front moves through, humidity will decrease, making for a pleasant weekend. A weather alert is advised for Thursday and Friday.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) held a maintenance conference with over 200 employees, where Executive Director Brad White shared updates on road projects. Nearly every highway in South Mississippi is undergoing construction to improve or repair infrastructure. Major projects include widening I-10 in Harrison County to improve traffic flow, expected to be completed by 2027. The emergency bridge and road program, funded with $100 million but facing $900 million in applications, supports local bridge improvements. White emphasized the need for a state budget agreement to continue projects, assuring taxpayers that 97% of the budget directly funds road improvements.
