BILOXI, MS, SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 – Tropical Storm Francine is projected to make landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday, September 11. As it continues to move over the Gulf, it is expected to strengthen into a Category 1 Hurricane and affect the Coastal Mississippi region, resulting in inclement weather and storm surge.
