Elite Roofing and Gutters Urges Homeowners and Businesses to Protect Roofs Ahead of Gulf Storm Concerns
PEARL, MS, UNITED STATES, July 18, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- As the summer heat intensifies and a tropical disturbance develops in the Gulf, Elite Roofing and Gutters is urging homeowners and businesses to take immediate action to protect their roofs. Proactive preparation is critical to minimizing damage from both scorching temperatures and the looming threat of hurricane season.
The combination of summer heat and intense storms can place strain on roofs. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause materials to warp or crack, while hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall have the potential to exploit even minor vulnerabilities.
'Your roof is your first defense against extreme weather,' said Eddie Coleman, General Manager at Elite Roofing and Gutters. 'With storms looming, schedule an inspection or repairs now to avoid costly damage.'
Steps to Prepare Your Roof for Summer Weather and Storms
Elite Roofing and Gutters recommends the following steps to ensure rooftops are ready for whatever the season brings:
-Schedule a Roof Inspection: Identifying potential weak spots, loose shingles, or worn materials early can prevent minor issues from escalating.
-Complete Necessary Repairs: Address any damage, no matter how small, to reinforce your roof against heavy winds and downpours.
-Clean Gutters and Drainage Systems: Ensure water can flow freely without clogging, as blocked gutters can lead to leaks and water damage.
-Trim Overhanging Branches: Limiting nearby tree branches can prevent debris from falling and damaging the roof during storms.
For those living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Elite Roofing and Gutters also emphasizes the importance of proactive measures, such as securing roofing materials and considering storm-rated upgrades, to enhance resilience.
What To Do When the Next Big Storm Hits
Elite Roofing and Gutters warns against hiring unlicensed roofers after storms. 'Mississippi is unfortunately seeing an influx of unlicensed, uninsured, and unqualified roofing companies knocking on doors after storms,' warns Eddie Coleman, General Manager of Elite Roofing. 'These contractors often fail to meet basic code and industry standards and, in many cases, make damage worse instead of better. Residents need to ensure they are hiring a reputable, licensed, and insured company for their roofing needs.'
Due to poor workmanship, unlicensed contractors leave many Mississippi residents with additional costs and ongoing problems. These problems can range from subpar work that needs to be redone to legal issues if the contractor is injured on the job. Elite Roofing emphasizes the importance of verifying credentials before hiring a roofing company to combat this problem.
To choose the right roofer, Coleman suggests using this simple checklist:
Do Your Homework: Research the company. First, check the Mississippi Board of Contractors website ( https://www.msboc.us/ ). Check if the company holds a contractor's license and that the license is valid and up to date. Is the company fully compliant with all state regulations, protecting homeowners and businesses from liability and additional costs?
Professional Craftsmanship: Ask about experience with similar projects. Are they held to exacting standards, ensuring quality, durability, and compliance with building codes? Has the company knocking on your door served the state of Mississippi for an extended period, and does the company hold any industry accreditations?

Hurricane center tracking 2 tropical disturbances, 1 off the coast of North Carolina
(This story was updated to add new information about the tropical systems.) About two months after the start of hurricane season, something may be brewing in the tropics. The 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2, 2025, tropics advisory from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, shows that a non-tropical area of low pressure formed along a frontal boundary about 150 miles off the coast of North Carolina, and a tropical wave was forecast to move off the west coast of Africa in the next day or two. Additional slow development could occur through early next week. Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025, tropics watch: Hurricane center tracking AL95 tropical system off N. Carolina coast and a large tropical wave A day earlier, the hurricane center reported no tropical cyclone activity was to be expected during the next 7 days. However, the "area of disturbance" that appears close to the coast of North Carolina and South Carolina increased to a 30% chance of cyclone formation in seven days (see below). Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1 to Nov. 30 every year, with the most activity between August and October. Should another weather system develop into a tropical storm, the system would be named Dexter, which is next on the list of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season names (see below). In addition, the hurricane center is tracking three tropical waves in the Caribbean. Each are moving west and do not pose a threat.

Hurricane Center tracking Invest 95L off North Carolina coast and a large tropical wave
Two months after the start of hurricane season, something big may be brewing in the tropics. In the 8 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025, tropics advisory from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, a non-tropical area of low pressure now called Invest 95L in the western Atlantic about 180 miles off the coast of North Carolina may become a tropical or subtropical depression or storm Sunday or Monday while it moves east-northeast, away from North Carolina. And in the central tropical Atlantic, a tropical wave was forecast to move off the west coast of Africa. A day earlier, the Invest had formed along a frontal boundary about 150 miles off the coast of North Carolina and its chances of formation had slightly increased. Though it appears close to North Carolina and South Carolina and had increased to a 50% chance of cyclone formation as of Sunday, it's important to note the tropical system is moving away from the coast. The National Hurricane Center referenced the large tropical wave off the west coast of Africa (see graphic below) in its Saturday night tropics advisory. Additional slow development could occur through early next week. Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1 to Nov. 30 every year, with the most activity between August and October. Should another weather system develop into a tropical storm, the system would be named Dexter, which is next on the list of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season names (see below). In addition, the hurricane center is tracking two tropical waves in the Caribbean. Each are moving west and do not pose a threat at this time.

According to the 8 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025, tropics advisory from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, here's information about Invest 95L and "Disturbance 2": In the western Atlantic (Invest 95L, marked "orange" in the National Hurricane Center graphic): A non-tropical area of low pressure located along a frontal boundary about 180 miles off the coast of North Carolina is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are marginally conducive for this system to become a tropical or subtropical depression or storm today or on Monday while it moves east-northeastward at about 10 mph, away from the coast of North Carolina. After Monday, environmental conditions become less conducive for development. Formation chance through 48 hours was medium at 50 percent. Formation chance through 7 days was medium at 50 percent. Spaghetti models for Invest 95L Special note about spaghetti models: Illustrations include an array of forecast tools and models, and not all are created equal. The hurricane center uses only the top four or five highest performing models to help make its forecasts. In the central tropical Atlantic ("Disturbance 2" is marked "yellow" in the National Hurricane Center graphic): A tropical wave was forecast to move off the west coast of Africa in the next day or two. Thereafter, some gradual development of the wave is possible during the middle to latter part of next week while it moves generally west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.

'Never seen anything like this': Australians enjoy rare snowfall
STORY: :: Revelers enjoy snowmen and snow fights as a rare blanket covers New South Wales :: Guyra, Australi :: August 3, 2025 RESIDENT BRENDAN GOUGH: "Actually it's a very surreal experience. I've always dreamt about going to the snow. I've never seen snow before in my entire life." UNIDENTIFIED RESIDENT: "It's beautiful, lovely. Yeah, I've never seen anything like this before, it's gorgeous." A cold air front dropped as much as 40 cm (16 inches) of snow on parts of northern New South Wales on Saturday, the most since the mid-1980s, said Miriam Bradbury, a meteorologist at Australia's weather bureau. Snow also settled in areas of the neighboring state of Queensland for the first time in 10 years, she said. Bradbury said climate change has made Australia's weather more volatile in recent years but that this sort of event had occurred several times in the historical record. "What makes this event unusual is how much snow we had but also how widespread, covering quite a large part of the northern tablelands," she said. With heavy rain lashing other areas, the New South Wales State Emergency Service said it had responded to more than 1,455 incidents. It said more than 100 vehicles had been stranded by snow, storms had damaged buildings and it had issued several major flood warnings. Tens of thousands of homes spent the night without power, state broadcaster Australian Broadcasting Corp reported. Solve the daily Crossword
