With the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season officially beginning on June 1, Entergy Mississippi is encouraging customers to take proactive steps to prepare for more severe weather and potential power outages. The season follows a stormy two weeks in the company’s service area, where consecutive weather events caused repeated outages. Beginning Sunday, May 19 through Wednesday, May 28, crews restored power to more than 86,000 storm related outages.
As of 12:30 p.m., approximately 5,400 customers are without power as a result of the weather impacts across our service territory. We encourage customers to be prepared, as additional severe weather is expected to continue to move through our service area this week.

Weather moved through the territory again today bringing new outages. As of 7:00 p.m., approximately 7,175 customers are without power, down from a peak of 15,183 customer outages at 10:15 p.m. last night.
