Gulfport Arts Center receives grant for renovation
SUMMARY: Major renovations are slated for an aging building thanks to a substantial funding initiative. This investment will give the Gulfport Arts Center a chance to showcase nationally renowned artists and their work in South Mississippi. The old Carnegie Library, a historic coastal landmark over 100 years old, has faced damage from floods and hurricanes, complicating the preservation of artwork inside. The funding, a grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission totaling over $100,000, will help save the building, protect the art, and facilitate art exhibitions from across the country. The Gulfport Arts Center, the city's only nonprofit art studio, received $75,000 from the Commission, along with a $50,000 award from the city for renovations.

SUMMARY: The Weather Authority has issued an expanded severe weather threat level for South Mississippi, especially along the coastline. The Storm Prediction Center's outlook is being closely monitored, with the potential for damaging winds, tornadoes, large hail, and flooding. The current forecast includes warm temperatures and high humidity, but a cold front approaching will bring relief from the muggy conditions. The focus is on the overnight and morning hours for potential severe weather development. Although complex, the forecast highlights the interaction between dry air in the mid levels and warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving weather situation.
