It’ll be hot again today in Mississippi but we won’t have a heat advisory in this area because, even though temperatures will be back in the mid 90s, the humidity shouldn’t be quite as bad.  Don’t get your hopes up too much, but there’s a chance that the weather pattern, at least in some parts of the state, could be changing pretty soon.

“There are some signs that we may see that first real cool front of the year coming down.”

Logan Poole at the National Weather Service in Jackson says we can keep our fingers crossed for a cool-down toward the end of next week.

“Maybe even into the 80s for highs, which doesn’t sound truly remarkable yet, but it’s going to feel a lot different if that’s able to happen.”

Fall is less than two weeks away.  And Poole says…

“Before you know it, we’ll be having nights that are longer than the days and that makes a tremendous seasonal difference.”

And believe it or not…

“We may only be 30-45 days away from looking at some sort of frost risk.”

But, for the time being, the hot weather continues.

Local residents can help shape the city’s growing green space at the upcoming TREES MS Open House Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2026. The drop-in event runs from 8:15 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Kosciusko High School (415 Veterans Memorial Drive).

Attendees should use the “Commons” entrance on the north side near the parking lot.

The session highlights upcoming tree planting initiatives for Jason Niles Park and Kosciusko Lower Elementary School.

Visitors will have the opportunity to review site plans, share feedback, and sign up for upcoming community planting workdays.

The initiative is part of the Trees for Restoration, Ecology, Economy, & Society in Mississippi program, delivered by the non-profit Green Infrastructure Center in partnership with the City of Kosciusko and the Kosciusko School District. Funding is provided by the USDA Forest Service through an Urban & Community Forestry grant administered by the Mississippi Forestry Commission.

Future educators at the Kosciusko-Attala Career Technical Center (CTC) are stepping out of the high school lecture hall and directly into local classrooms as they officially begin their hands-on Field Experience.

The program allows Education Preparation students to move beyond textbook theory and immerse themselves in the day-to-day realities of teaching. During their placements, aspiring teachers observe instructional strategies, interact directly with students, learn classroom management techniques, and study how experienced educators design lesson plans and foster positive learning environments.

For the students involved, the program serves as an active bridge between learning about education and practicing it. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, reflect on daily classroom dynamics, and learn directly from veteran teachers.

“Field Experience is where the learning really comes to life,” said Tessa Horn, Ed Prep Instructor at Kosciusko-Attala CTC. “Our students have the opportunity to see firsthand what it means to be an educator while beginning to develop the skills, confidence, and professionalism they will need in their own classrooms.”

As these Ed Prep students begin working alongside local teachers, the experience marks a critical first milestone in their journey toward leading their own classrooms and inspiring future generations of students.
