The Mississippi State women run their record on the young basketball season to 4-0 with tonight’s win in Starkville. They won’t play again until next Thursday against Texas Tech in Lubbock.
The Ole Miss men hope to go to 4-0 as well Friday night in the team’s final game at Tad Smith Coliseum. The venue, hosting its first basketball game in 1966, will be demolished next year.
President Trump signed the spending bill Wednesday night to end the 43-day shutdown of the federal government, the longest in U.S. history. This followed the House voting 222-209 to send that bill to the White House.
The Climate Prediction Center on Monday said there is a 40 to 60 percent risk of heavy rainfall for Mississippi during the middle of next week.
That risk also includes west Alabama, west Tennessee, most of Arkansas, southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and all of Louisiana.
As you can see below, there is an area beyond that with a slight risk of heavy rainfall from Tuesday through Saturday of next week.
News release from the Mississippi Department of Human Services:
The Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) announced today that it will begin partial distribution of SNAP benefits following official guidance from the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS).

Those recipients who typically receive their benefits between the 4th and 10th of the month will be included in the upcoming issuance of benefits as early as November 10. All other recipients will receive their benefits on their regularly scheduled issuance date.
In preparation for benefit issuance, MDHS encourages all SNAP clients to register their account at ConnectEBT.com and change their PIN number.

Looks like that severe weather threat for Northeast Mississippi has diminished significantly from what was originally expected. The National Weather Service has trimmed the area for a marginal risk to roughly east of Corinth-Tupelo-Columbus.
And the marginal threat for severe storms on Saturday is gone.
However, the below-freezing weather is coming by the end of the weekend.
These are the airports where some flights could be cut starting Friday morning (maybe earlier, according to ABC News) because of the federal government shutdown.
