Friday morning's edition covers developments verified after Thursday's evening roundup. Times are Central. Forecasts and event plans may change.
All five counties: Updated Isaias outlook
The National Weather Service in Memphis updated its Isaias graphic at 5:06 a.m. Friday. It expects the storm's remnants to bring periods of heavy rain and strong wind to the broader Mid-South on Saturday, with sustained winds of 20 to 25 mph, gusts up to 40 mph, and 1 to 3 inches of rain with isolated totals up to 4 inches. These are regional forecasts, not measured conditions or a guaranteed total for each county. The forecast remains uncertain.
The Flood Watch issued Thursday remains in effect for Union, Prentiss, Alcorn, Benton and Tippah from 1 a.m. Saturday to 7 a.m. Sunday. A watch means flooding is possible. The National Hurricane Center's 7 a.m. Friday advisory put Isaias's maximum sustained winds at 110 mph over the Gulf. That is the hurricane's intensity at its center, not a wind forecast for north Mississippi. Check current NWS Memphis alerts before travel this weekend.
Union and Tippah counties: Volleyball results set North Half matchups
New Albany swept Ripley 3-0 in Thursday's Class 4A playoff, with sets of 25-10, 25-22 and 25-18, according to the MaxPreps match recap. Ripley's postseason ended. WTVA reports New Albany is scheduled to visit Mooreville for the Class 4A North Half title match Monday.
Walnut swept Myrtle 3-0 Thursday, MaxPreps reports. WTVA lists an all-local Class 2A North Half final Monday: East Union hosts Walnut. The report does not provide a set score for East Union's Thursday match, so this edition does not assign one.
Alcorn County: Kossuth advances
Kossuth defeated fellow Alcorn County team Alcorn Central 3-0 Thursday, with sets of 25-12, 25-14 and 25-10, according to MaxPreps. WTVA says Kossuth is scheduled to host Belmont in Monday's Class 3A North Half title match. Alcorn Central's playoff run ended with Thursday's loss.
Prentiss County: Booneville falls; Northeast wins
Booneville's volleyball team lost a five-set playoff match to Belmont 3-2 Thursday. The MaxPreps recap lists set scores of 18-25, 25-23, 19-25, 27-25 and 15-13 from Belmont's perspective; the deciding set was settled by two points. Booneville's postseason ended.
