SUMMARY: Good morning South Mississippi! Expect a warm Memorial Day weekend with highs near 87°F today, but humidity pushing heat indices above 95°F, even close to 100°F in dry spots. Morning skies are mostly clear with calm winds becoming breezier this afternoon due to a developing seabreeze gusting up to 20 mph at the coast. Showers and storms are offshore but could move in later today, increasing overnight. Monday brings a greater chance of rain and strong storms with gusty winds up to 40 mph and small hail possible. A weak cold front midweek may cool temps to the mid-80s but raise rain chances through Thursday.

SUMMARY: A special election has been scheduled for April in Pearl River County following the discovery of two illegal votes in the recent tax assessor and collector race. Governor Tate Reeves announced the election date after court documents revealed that illegal votes affected the runoff results between Sandy Cain Smith and Joe Lynn Houston. The runoff was originally decided by just three votes in Picayune’s south side precincts. Due to the narrow margin and the invalid ballots, voters in two precincts will return to the polls to ensure a fair and accurate outcome for the county tax assessor and collector position.

The special election for the Tax Collector/Assessor in Pearl River County will also be held on November 4, 2025.

Key Republican contenders include State Auditor Shad White, Delbert Hoseman, billionaire Tommy Duff, several congressmen or former congressmen, former Speaker of the House, and Attorney General Lynn Fitch. Experts predict a crowded primary likely leading to a runoff, with candidates drawing support from different regions like the coast, Pine Belt, and Jackson metro.
