SUMMARY: The Mississippi Sound Coalition rebutted the US Army Corps of Engineers’ claim that the Bonnie Carrie Spillway had only minor impacts on the Mississippi Sound. Research from Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi showed extensive damage to oysters and marine life in the sound, with oyster reefs unable to grow without human intervention in the last five years. The Coalition is calling for the Corps to take responsibility and prevent the spillway from opening again. They highlighted the damage to oyster reefs and marine mammal populations, and are hoping for a law change to protect the sound and its ecosystem. Updates on this process are expected in the next few months.

SUMMARY: Welcome back to Good Morning Mississippi Nature Trivia! Today’s questions cover fascinating nature facts. The largest alligator found in Mississippi was a massive 14 feet 3 inches and weighed 800 pounds — a real giant. The Dachshund dog breed’s name means “badger dog” in German, bred to flush badgers from their burrows. We explored identifying flowers, including the hibiscus and dragon’s head, plus learned a cockroach’s heart surprisingly has 13 chambers. Trivia fun combines surprising nature knowledge with some friendly competition. It’s a great reminder to appreciate and learn more about the natural world around us.

Bill, Brandy, and Wesley test their nature knowledge on the first day of May.

SUMMARY: The weather across South Mississippi remains calm and warm, with temperatures in the 70s. A cold front moving through Texas brings showers and thunderstorms to the north, but the Magnolia State stays quiet. Overnight, temperatures will stay mild in the lower 70s, thanks to cloud cover. By Thursday, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected, with Friday holding a higher chance for stronger storms. Saturday will see lingering rain, but after the front moves through, humidity will decrease, making for a pleasant weekend. A weather alert is advised for Thursday and Friday.
