SUMMARY: South Mississippi begins Friday reflecting on Hurricane Katrina’s 20th anniversary, which struck on August 29, 2005, causing lasting damage compared to the 2004 Indian tsunami. Meteorologist Ryan reminds viewers to learn from past lessons and stay prepared as tropical activity remains low but a 30% chance of development is possible mid-next week off Africa’s west coast due to weakening dry air. Today is gray and cool with light to moderate showers, including heavy rain in Hancock County surpassing six inches in 24 hours, causing flooding. Rain will continue into Friday night, tapering off through the weekend with sunnier skies returning Sunday.
