SUMMARY: The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, also known as the Hurricane Hunters, is preparing for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. Stationed at Keesler Air Force Base, their five-member team uses advanced technology to collect vital weather data by flying into storms. This data helps predict the strength and path of hurricanes. They use instruments like drop sondes to gather real-time measurements of wind speed, temperature, and pressure. Lieutenant Colonel Sean Cross shared his experience flying during Hurricane Katrina, recalling the devastation it caused. The squadron emphasizes the importance of early preparation and staying informed during hurricane season.

Temperatures will be cooler, around 79 degrees. Rain continues through Thursday and into Friday, with totals potentially reaching 8 inches over several days, increasing flooding risks. Showers persist into the weekend, but rain chances diminish by then. Stay prepared for ongoing wet conditions.

SUMMARY: The proposed Beauvoir Villas subdivision in Biloxi has residents divided. Originally planned with 250 lots, the plan was reduced to 213, but concerns remain. Key issues include traffic congestion on Iris and Lawrence Streets, which locals feel are inadequate for increased vehicles. Some oppose the high density and small yards, likening it to the crowded Coral Breeze neighborhood. Others support the development, noting the area once housed an elementary school, with existing infrastructure like roads, utilities, and drainage. The zoning change was postponed again, with councilwoman Dixie Newman wanting new officials involved. The issue returns to the council in July.

A proposed neighborhood has people split in Biloxi, with residents toeing the line, trying to determine if they think the plans are helpful.
