SUMMARY: Mississippi senators have called for an end to Biden-era flood insurance premium hikes, citing widespread economic strain. Since the program’s rollout, premiums on about 84% of Mississippi flood insurance policies have increased, causing thousands of homeowners to abandon coverage. In a joint statement, senators demanded greater transparency from FEMA, warning that if Risk Rating 2.0 continues unchecked, more families will be forced to forfeit insurance, leading to economic strain on neighborhoods and risking community collapse. They stressed that “time is of the essence” to address the escalating premiums and protect vulnerable Mississippi communities.

Senators Wicker and Hyde-Smith signed a letter that calls for halting further Risk Rating 2.0 premium increases and demanding greater transparency from FEMA.

SUMMARY: Welcome back, South Mississippi! It’s Weather Kid Wednesday at WXXV, where local kids help with the forecast. Today’s guest is James, an 11-year-old birthday boy who recently celebrated at Escape Arcade. We’re seeing cloud cover and showers mixed with heat. The high today is 97°F, but with humidity, it feels like 115°F due to the heat index—meaning it feels hotter because sweat doesn’t evaporate well. Tomorrow, temperatures will cool slightly to around 103°F with more rain expected, thanks to a low-pressure system. James advises staying in air conditioning, seeking shade, or visiting a water park to beat the heat.
