The Salvation Army is opening their Gulf Coast cold weather shelters Tuesday night
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (M.E.M.A.) is working closely with the National Weather Service and monitoring the possibility of winter precipitation that may affect parts of the state Sunday night and continue into Tuesday.
Nineteen degrees: a record low set in Gulfport, two degrees below the previous record set just last year in January, but this cold isn't just inconvenient, it can be downright deadly.
With the weather staying below freezing Thursday night, people need to be careful and take precautions to stay warm.
Wednesday night's cold weather will be dangerous, but what about people that work in the elements every day?
Plunging temperatures and wind chill are a direct threat to life and limb, especially for the elderly, small children, the chronically ill, substance abusers, and individuals for stay out in the cold for long periods of time.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (M.E.M.A.) has been notified by the National Weather Service (N.W.S.) that the entire state may see a hard freeze over the next few days.
If you were outside at all Tuesday, you probably noticed it's gotten a lot colder.
Temperatures are going to dip down into the mid-30s Tuesday night, conditions that could be deadly for those who don't have adequate shelter.
Many homeless individuals will take advantage of sleeping indoors, but there are still many more that will stay out in the cold.
For many working outside in the cold, dangerous conditions come on quickly.
It's another frigid day outside and along the Coast and cold weather shelters will be open again Friday night.
Officials are predicting shelter doors will be open more this year than before, at a great cost to the organizations running them.
Near freezing temperatures mean cold weather shelters across the Coast are opening up to help local homeless people.
American Medical Response (A.M.R.) has important suggestions for avoiding, recognizing and treating two deadly cold-related illnesses: hypothermia and frostbite.
Last year showed us that winter weather can come sooner, end later, and hit unsuspecting parts of the country.
Harrison County Supervisor of District 1, Windy Swetman, announces that a Cold Weather Shelter will be open at the Kenny Fournier Multi-Purpose Center 10395 Automall Parkway, D’Iberville on Thursday, November 13th and Friday, November 14th.
The Salvation Army Cold Weather Shelters in Gulfport and Pascagoula will be open due to predicted cold temperatures on Thursday, November 13th and Friday, November 14th, 2014.
