Ozark Mayor Candidate
COL. CHARLES WARD, POLICE CHIEF AND OZARK DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY RUNNING FOR MAYOR, SAYS HE’S RUNNING “FOR THE PEOPLE”
Current Chief of Police and Director of the Department of Public Safety Charles Ward recently announced he is throwing his hat into the ring and is running to be the next mayor of Ozark.
When asked why Director Ward has chosen to run for mayor of Ozark, he replied, “I looked at where the city is now and envisioned what Ozark could become. I feel I have the right skill set and qualifications to be mayor and improve Ozark in many ways. Ozark is a wonderful city to call home, but I want to take Ozark to the next level.”
Ward also discussed some of his top priorities he will work on achieving if he is elected as Ozark’s next mayor: “My first act will be to work with city department heads and other experts to formulate a plan where we set goals for how to improve all aspects of the city and layout where the city is going. We need to work on figuring out the best courses of action to improve the city we all care about and create the best direction and goals to accomplish that.”
Wednesday Weather
HOUSTON COUNTY 6:33 AM:
A hazy morning will lead into a warm, humid and maybe wet day. Moisture streaming in from the Gulf has brought us several days of tropical type downpours, and those rains of the last few days means plenty of moisture on the ground, that will evaporate in the warmth of the day leading to more rains and more showers.
So we are locked into a weather part of rain, repeat, and rinse. Each day will see temperatures warming into the upper 80s – near 90, and those warming temperatures will lead to afternoon showers and thunderstorms
So not daylong rains, but maybe storms moving in each afternoon
Tuesday Weather
ASHFORD:
The Tuesday lookin out the window weather looks much sunnier than Monday. There is plenty of moisture in the ground and more streaming in from the Gulf in the air, but the rain chances look to be much less today than yesterday. Thats not to say it won’t rain today. It might. There is plenty of moisture to fuel afternoon rains and temperatures will creep closer to 90 for afternoon highs.
With all the wet weather from last few days there’s plenty of moisture in the ground to lift into afternoon rains: all the way through the weekend.
High temps during the day will be warming as we head deeper into the Summer season, lows at night will drop to near 70 the next few
More Storms Coming
HOUSTON COUNTY 4:30 PM
After thunderous downpours mid-morning, new rounds of storms are blowing across the Wiregrass this afternoon. The Monday afternoon rains are pushing heavy rains and frequent lightening into south Alabama.
Just after 4 o’clock the leading edge of rains was making it across Ashford and southern Houston County and is pressing on east. So look out south Georgia.
Future radars indicate at least one more large area of storms will follow on the heels of these rains. That third of the day storm line is expected in a few hours, and forecasts predict possible rains on in through the night
