Hello, my name is Branden Walker. I was born and raised in Pearl, Mississippi, and I graduated from Pearl High School in 2013.
I then went on to William Carey University, where I graduated in 2018 with a double major in Mass Communications/News Media and Intercultural Studies. I am now working on a Weather Certification at Mississippi State University online.
During my time at William Carey, I had the opportunity to intern at WDAM for a year under Nick Lilja, Patrick Bigbie and Rex Thompson as a weather intern. I’ve also interned at the National Weather Service in Jackson.

Thunderstorms are in the forecast for tonight and this weekend, but not the whole time. A series of disturbances will cross the area through Easter night and Monday morning. Storms will die down well before midnight tonight, possibly flair up Saturday morning and continue through the afternoon. Storms will take a break for most of Saturday evening and then regenerate Sunday into Sunday night, again, not lasting the whole time. Slow moving storms could dump a few inches of rain through this weekend. Hail and wind are most likely, but a tornado cannot be ruled out. Highs will be in the upper 70s this weekend and lows will be in the 60s. It will be quite muggy out there. Showers will wind down Monday morning and dry weather should move in for most of the workweek, breaking the pattern of Tuesday - Wednesday severe weather outbreaks after at least 4 weeks. Highs will be near 80 next week with lows in the 50s and partly sunny skies during the days. South wind tonight and Saturday at 10mph. Average high is 76 and the average low is 53. Sunrise is 6:30am and the sunset is 7:31pm.
