SUMMARY: Good morning, South Mississippi! A cold front approaching from the west will pass through later today, bringing a 40% chance of showers mainly from mid-afternoon to early evening. Currently, skies are clear and sunny with only distant clouds and isolated showers. There is a low-level risk of strong storms due to heating, though the front is not very strong. Tonight will be cooler and less humid, temperatures dropping into the mid-60s, closer to normal for this time of year. The front clears overnight, clearing skies and light northerly breezes lead to a sunny, dry weekend. Rain and humidity return mid-next week.

SUMMARY: South Mississippi is experiencing continuous thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and frequent lightning, especially around Harrison County. A strong storm triggered a special weather statement but is not classified as severe. Multiple showers and thunderstorm lines are moving through the area, causing occasional power outages and raising concerns about localized flooding. Weather models differ on timing, but scattered storms are expected to continue into Thursday, with a 50-60% chance of rain and a slight flash flooding risk (level two). A cool front will arrive by Saturday, bringing less humidity and cooler temperatures for the weekend before warming again next week.

SUMMARY: The Living Shorelines Workshop in Moss Point helps Mississippi waterfront landowners combat erosion and protect habitats using natural, sustainable methods. Living shorelines stabilize coastal property with native marsh grasses, natural slopes, rocks, or shells. Hosted at the Pascal River Autobond Center, these workshops are part of a series by Mississippi State University Coastal and Marine Extension, supported by the Mississippi Alabama Sea Grant Consortium and Mississippi Sound Estuary Program. Participants receive free shoreline assessments, customized design plans, and permitting assistance. With costs between $50 to $300 per linear foot, living shorelines offer an affordable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional bulkheads and seawalls.

As erosion carves away at Mississippi’s coastal properties and tidal surges creep farther inland, landowners are searching for alternatives to costly seawalls.
