Extended Dry Stretch Settles Across South Mississippi; Chilly Weekend Ahead

After morning lows dipped to 50s and 60s, temperatures rebounded quickly into the upper 70s by midday, heading toward an afternoon high near 80 degrees. With the region sitting on the drier western side of the stalled boundary, rain chances remain near zero through the weekend. DROUGHT CONDITIONS IMPROVE IN PEARL RIVER COUNTY... Thursday morning’s updated U.S. Drought Monitor showed localized relief across portions of Pearl River County, particularly around Poplarville, where more than 15 inches of rain fell over Halloween weekend. Because drought map guidelines limit adjustments to one category change per week, a Level 1 drought designation remains in place despite their torrential totals. Drought levels across the rest of the viewing area held steady. Wednesday provided the only recent measurable rainfall for parts of the area, including roughly an inch near Perkinston in Stone County, though coastal communities like Gulfport, Biloxi, and Pascagoula stayed largely dry. COOLER WEEKEND AIR MASS ON TRACK... While today and tomorrow will both peak near 80 degrees, a secondary push of cooler air arrives in time for the weekend. Highs Saturday and Sunday will struggle to escape the lower 70s. A high of 70 on Sunday means most daylight hours will hover in the cool 60s. Sunday morning will be particularly crisp, with coastal lows dipping to 47 degrees and inland communities north of Interstate 10, including Wiggins and Poplarville, waking up to the lower 40s.

South MS school district sues sporting-goods giants. Here's what to know

The Hancock County School District filed a federal class-action lawsuit in October against Riddell Sports, Varsity Brands and other major athletic equipment retailers. The suit accuses the companies of running a yearslong price-fixing scheme that inflated costs for K-12 schools across Mississippi and Louisiana. FULL STORY: South MS school district files suit against major sporting-goods companies Here are key takeaways: The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Gulfport and names Riddell, Varsity Brands, BSN Sports, Hibbett Inc., Sports Center and Rex Team Sports. Attorneys describe the group as a “cartel” that coordinated bids from 2010 to 2023. Mississippi law requires school districts to seek bids on equipment and services costing between $5,000 and $75,000. The complaint alleges the companies manipulated that lowest-bidder process. Several sales professionals with Riddell, BSN Sports, Rex Team Sports and other companies have already pleaded guilty to federal charges tied to the bid-rigging scheme. Charles J. LaDuca, firm chairman at Cuneo Gilbert Flannery & LaDuca, said “every dollar overpaid for a helmet or a uniform is a dollar that didn’t go to students.” His firm is representing the district alongside Mississippi attorney Don Barrett. The district is seeking monetary damages equal to three times the
