Three-year-old Scott Landen Ellis Jr. tries out his new remote control boat Friday during balmy weather at City Front. Scott, the son of Scott Landen Ellis Sr. and Melissa Herrington, said the boat he got for Christmas is “cool.” Temperatures Friday reached the upper 70s, and much of the same is expected today. Expect cooler weather tonight with lows in the mid-40s, and on Sunday a high near 60. (Meredith Spencer*The Vicksburg Post)
