SUMMARY: Many shrimpers are heading west this weekend as inshore shrimp season opened on Thursday in Louisiana, although Mississippi waters remain closed. Min Trong, who sells shrimp from his van in Long Beach, is also preparing to open a seafood store. However, he notes that for the second consecutive year, shrimping conditions have been unfavorable, impacting prices. Factors like excessive freshwater and high winds are likely contributing to these poor conditions, pushing shrimp out. Trong anticipates shrimp season in Mississippi to open around mid-June but felt last year’s season commenced too early, affecting prices negatively.

Minh Troung and other shrimpers say it’ll be a few weeks before conditions are right for shrimping in the Mississippi Sound.

SUMMARY: Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue across South Mississippi, with periods of heavy rain and localized flash flooding possible through midweek. Tuesday afternoon saw a brief break for many, though storms lingered near Poplarville and northern Pearl River County. High humidity and cloud cover kept temperatures mostly in the 80s. The rainy pattern, driven by a trough between high-pressure systems, persists through Thursday and Friday. Rain chances decrease this weekend as a ridge builds, bringing drier conditions and rising temperatures into the 90s. Despite the heat and humidity, the tropics remain quiet for now, with no development expected over the next week.

SUMMARY: Scattered showers and storms continued across South Mississippi over Father’s Day weekend and are expected to persist into Monday and Tuesday. A waterspout came ashore near Gulfport and Long Beach, quickly dissipating. While rain chances taper off overnight, daytime heating will fuel more storms early this week, with possible localized flooding due to saturated ground. A pattern shift later in the week will reduce storm coverage but increase temperatures. Highs will reach the low 90s on the coast and mid-90s inland by the weekend. Despite the heat, the tropics remain quiet with no development expected over the next seven days.
