SUMMARY: This morning, attention is on Tropical Storm Francine, with concerns about home preparedness, especially regarding roofs. Junior from Husband Contractors highlights the importance of checking roof conditions after past storms like Zeta, which caused unexpected damage. Homeowners should ensure their roofs are in good shape, and if using contractors, prioritize local ones who were established before the storm. Junior also discusses upgraded roofing standards from IBHS Fortified, which provide enhanced protection and insurance discounts, emphasizing the importance of building for wind uplift. Homeowners are encouraged to verify contractor licenses and consider fortified roof options for better resilience.

We are tracking the topics Tuesday morning, keeping a close eye on Francine. With us to help you prepare is Junior Husband with Husband Contractors.

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.
