SUMMARY: During the holiday season, the Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP) emphasizes the importance of road safety, as the Thanksgiving travel period is underway from today until November 26th. With busy state highways and interstates, MHP urges drivers to remember the basic rules of driving. They advise drivers to get adequate rest, avoid driving while drowsy or impaired by alcohol or medications, buckle up, ensure children are properly restrained, put down cell phones, and obey speed limits. With over 4.7 million people expected to fly, delays are likely, especially at larger airports. Travelers are advised to arrive at least two hours early for flights, be patient with potential delays, and work cooperatively with airline staff. MHP also suggests that those driving to their holiday destinations familiarize themselves with the routes and potential construction to be well-prepared.

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. By midweek through the weekend, isolated afternoon storms remain possible. Temperatures will rise into the mid-90s by the weekend, with real feel values reaching 105–110 degrees. Stay weather-aware and hydrated.
