Biloxi, MS – Mississippi’s Gulf Coast could be in the path of a developing tropical storm expected to form in the northwest Caribbean early this week. Coastal communities are urged to prepare as the storm could bring heavy rain, high winds, and dangerous storm surges by mid-week.
The National Hurricane Center reports a 80 percent chance that the disturbance will strengthen into a tropical storm as it moves northward into the Gulf of Mexico. Areas along Mississippi’s I-10 corridor and the coastal cities of Biloxi and Gulfport may experience heavy rains and strong winds as early as Wednesday.
Residents should remain informed and take steps now to secure property and gather essential supplies. Storm surge and localized flooding are possible, particularly in low-lying coastal areas. Officials are advising everyone to review their hurricane plans and monitor updates from local weather stations and the National Hurricane Center for the latest developments. The storm’s path remains uncertain, but precautionary measures should be taken to ensure safety.
