SUMMARY: Firefighters in Tupelo are facing extreme temperatures, from 200° to 1200°, while on duty. With the added summer heat, community members have stepped in to support the fire department by donating Power Aid and popsicles for each of the seven stations. Fire Chief Brad Robinson highlights the challenges firefighters face, noting that while their uniforms protect from fires, they are not breathable, making cooling down difficult. This annual donation, which aids in their recovery, may occur a second time this year due to unusually high temperatures, reflecting strong community support for the firefighters’ hard work.

The Tupelo Fire Department received a much-welcomed donation to beat the heat.

SUMMARY: Christian artist TobyMac reflected on his evolving music style ahead of his performance at the Brandon Amphitheater. Rooted in hip hop, R\&B, and soul, he says his sound has mellowed over time, shaped by life’s ups and downs. Though he sometimes tires of older songs like “Speak Life,” their enduring message keeps them meaningful. He continues to blend new hits like “Cornerstone” and “I Just Need You” into his setlist, skipping “Good Morning” out of respect for collaborator Mandisa. TobyMac promises fans a joyful, diverse, and unified show experience, filled with both nostalgic favorites and fresh, relevant music.

SUMMARY: Scattered afternoon storms may disrupt outdoor plans today, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and heat index values in the mid-90s. Overnight temperatures will dip to the 70s. More storms are possible tomorrow, especially in the Delta during the morning, with widespread storms expected by afternoon. A high-pressure system near Baja California will shift northward this week, reducing rain chances but increasing heat and humidity.

Stay weather-aware and hydrated.
