Harrison County Mosquito Control preps to stop swarms as weather heats up
SUMMARY: The forecast is updated and mosquitoes are breeding as it gets warmer. Mosquito Control Director Gene Fayard provides tips to slow down mosquito swarms, urging people to police their own areas for standing water sources where mosquitoes breed. Residential areas should be checked for areas like buckets and dog bowls. It is important to control the mosquito population by eliminating breeding spots. Mosquito control efforts focus on main ditches and culverts, but individual property maintenance can also help significantly. Local authorities spray and use their resources to address the issue in other affected areas.

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.
