SUMMARY: The Weather Authority reports stability and comfortable temperatures on the Gulf Coast with mostly sunny skies. The forecast predicts temperatures dropping into the lower 60s with dense fog forming in multiple areas. Humidity values are high, indicating potential for fog formation. A dense fog advisory is issued by the National Weather Service in New Orleans and Mobile, with visibility dropping below 100 ft. Conditions are attributed to Marshland fires and atmospheric fog-producing factors. The 7-day forecast includes chances of rainfall and thunderstorms with the arrival of a front on Friday.

Tuesday November 7th, 2023: Earlier this evening I listed several focus areas and hazards that the National Weather Service has outlined for Tuesday night. Those are re-listed below. 1. Dense fog will develop across portions of southeast LA and southern MS on Wednesday morning. Smoke from the marsh fire in New Orleans East could reduce visibility to less than 100 feet across small portions of East Orleans and St. Tammany Parish during morning commute hours. 2. Dense fog development will remain possible on Thursday morning across southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi. Patchy fog across the river valleys this morning gave way to ample sunshine and values that continue to show an abundance of moisture returning to our area due to increasing southerly winds today. High pressure is now centered off to the east allowing for moist patchy fog across river valleys. As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other. – Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

SUMMARY: In October 2017, a new world record lightning bolt was detected, flashing across more than 500 miles. A study published in the American Meteorological Society Journal revealed satellite data showing a single lightning strike traveling from Texas through Oklahoma and Arkansas into Missouri. This surpassed the previous record of a lightning bolt stretching over South Mississippi in April 2020. The 2017 lightning event was part of a complex of storms stretching from Texas to South Mississippi, with satellite data indicating the bolt traveled 477 miles, setting a new record for the longest lightning flash ever observed.

The previous record was held by a bolt that flashed across the Gulf Coast and South Mississippi.

SUMMARY: The Attorney General’s office has concluded its investigation into a 2024 officer-involved shooting at the William Bell Apartments in Gulfport.
