Nicondra: Widespread rain likely again SundayNEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The wet forecast is on repeat as we finish the weekend. Expect widespread showers and storms with most locations seeing a half inch or less of rain into the afternoon, but the high moisture content provides fuel for much higher isolated totals. Some locations could easily see one or two inches of rain or more with individual storms. There will still be many dry hours during the day and rain is less likely into the evening. The higher than normal uplift in the region will continue through the week ahead keeping southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast in higher than normal rain coverage. More clouds and rain will help keep temperatures in check in the upper 80s near the 90 degree mark.13 hours ago

Fiddler Crabs Love to WaveOurmshome.com – Mark W. LaSalle, Ph.D. – 2024-07-20 09:08:00. SUMMARY: Fiddler crabs, notable for the males' comical oversized claws, populate tidal marshes globally and are integral to estuarine food chains. Males wave their claws to attract mates and excavate burrows in marsh muds and sands, which serve as protection and mating sites. These crabs feed on algae and bacteria by sifting sediment with spoon-shaped mouth bristles, creating trails of processed sediment balls. They play a crucial ecological role by transferring nutrients up the food chain and are prey for birds, fish, and mammals. In Mississippi, Gulf Marsh Fiddler and Red-Jointed Fiddler crabs are particularly common and visually distinctive.19 hours ago
