The rain is largely gone this morning, and now we're dealing with areas of fog and drizzle. The gloomy morning will linger close to midday before we begin to break apart the clouds a bit this afternoon. Expect a warm and humid day in the upper 70s and low 80s.
Another wave of heavy rain and thunderstorms is scheduled to arrive on Friday morning and is expected to wind down in the early afternoon. Aside from the flooding risk, this storm could also bring damaging winds of 60-70 MPH. The risk of an isolated tornado is low.
Friday's storm should depart early enough that we may catch a moment of late-day sun. A few lingering showers are possible on Friday evening, but most of the rain should have moved on by then.
Another big wave or rain and thunder will likely develop Friday night across Oklahoma, shifting southeast through Arkansas Saturday morning. Areas near and south of Highway 60, Southern Missouri into Northern Arkansas, may find another round of heavy rain Saturday morning. This storm may take a southern route, meaning we may avoid the heaviest rain Saturday morning.
Weekend weather will feature a mix of sun and clouds with warm and humid conditions. There will be a risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday, more so on Saturday than on Sunday.
A stronger cold front may clear the area Monday, bringing a risk of scattered showers, followed by less humid and quieter weather Tuesday and Wednesday.

Mentor honored for his big commitment to youth empowerment
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida celebrated a volunteer who has gone above and beyond in fulfilling the organization's mission of empowering youth in Bay County. The '2025 Virginia Thomas Big of the Year Award' in Bay County recognizes a mentor who exemplifies extraordinary commitment, compassion, and service to the youth in the community. The non-profit organization named Gage Proctor as this year's recipient. Proctor has been a mentor or 'Big Brother' with the organization since 2021. Over the past three and a half years, Proctor has helped his mentee, or 'Little Brother,' Khayman, academically and socially. Proctor was surprised and humbled by the honor. He said this is by far the easiest award he's ever earned. 'This was an easy award to win because I just get to hang out with him [Khayman] and it's fun. And it's a good time. It's always been a good time,' said Proctor. Khayman's family called Proctor 'one in a million.' The Virginia Thomas Big of the Year Award is named in honor of longtime community advocate, Virginia Thomas, who moved to the Panama City area in 1965 and quickly immersed herself in service.

The boats that took soldiers to the D-day beaches
DILLSBURG, Pa. (WHTM)– Their official designation was Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnel, or LCVP. Usually, they were just called Landing Craft. Sometimes they were called Higgins boats after their creator. By any name, they changed the way war was fought, shuttling troops to beaches across the Pacific – and across the English Channel on D-Day. In 2006 Reporter Rob Dixon and I did a story about a business in Dillsburg restoring three Higgins boats to their WWII condition, and got to meet some veterans who built and piloted the boats. The boats were the brainchild of Andrew Jackson Higgins of New Orleans, who was building shallow-water boats for old and gas exploration in the bayous of Louisiana when World War II broke out. He adapted his designs for landing craft. The first versions were not that great; the designs called for soldiers to jump over the sides of the boats, exposing them to enemy fire. But the LCVP had a ramp at the bow. When the boat 'hit the beach,' the ramp dropped and soldiers dashed out as fast as possible. Christian Lamb made maps to guide the crews landing crafts at Normandy on D-Day Until the Higgins boat, invasions involved navies attacking heavily defended ports. But Higgins' landing craft made it possible to unload entire armies on open beaches, forcing defenders to stretch resources to cover areas that wouldn't have been considered danger points before. Many of the LCVPs were built at the Higgins factories and then disassembled. Shipped in pieces, they took up less space in freighters, which meant the freighter could carry more of them. They were then reassembled at their destination. WWII-era landing craft emerging from Lake Mead Andrew Higgins was not only ahead of his time in boat design, but in the workplace as well. Higgins Industries had the first racially integrated workforce in New Orleans. He hired African Americans, undrafted white males, women, the elderly, and the handicapped, all of whom were paid equal wages according to their job rating. By the war's end, Higgins Industries had produced over 20,000 ships, including various types of landing crafts and PT boats. General Dwight Eisenhower called him 'The man who won the war for us.' Adolf Hitler (probably not very happily) called him 'The new Noah.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Hot and humid weekend with the potential for strong Sunday storms
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Highs in the low 90s this afternoon. Mostly sunny skies to start off the day with a few clouds beginning to develop around lunch time. Chance or isolated shower activity for the afternoon and early evening. Shower chances come to a close ahead of sunset. Saharan dust makes an appearance this Saturday. Milky skies will be seen as the dust particles scatter more of the sunlight. A trough passing through the central U.S. dips southward on Sunday. This is likely to trigger thunderstorm development as early as Sunday afternoon. While this will provide some relief from the heat, they will have have the potential to be strong or even severe. Unlike the rain that we have seen the past few afternoons, Sunday's storm chances will have a different origin, forming from a different reason. The greater upper level support along with our hot and humid environment is what gives these storms on Sunday a bit more potency compared to the 'pop-up' showers we have seen all week. Greater potential for storms will be on the north shore. We turn to a more active weather pattern next week. Many chances for showers and storms. This allows for temperatures to fall out of the spotlight with highs in the 80s. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
