First Alert Weather Focus – June 3, 2024
SUMMARY: Mississippi's only live weather show, WDAM's First Alert Weather Focus, forecasts hit-or-miss showers over the next few days, with ongoing heat and humidity. Chief Meteorologist Patrick Bigby and Rex provide detailed local radar updates and temperatures. Notable weather patterns include a few showers and lighting in specific counties, while most areas remain hot and partly cloudy. Upcoming days promise more sunshine but consistently high temperatures. A tropical weather overview indicates no current threats, though the Atlantic's high pressure could affect future storms. Reflecting on hurricane preparedness, the team advises to stay ready, highlighting dynamics like the shifting jet stream and dry lines.

SUMMARY: Fireworks can make the 4th of July stressful for pets, leading to many getting lost. Lance Warner from Price's Right fireworks stand advises against leaving pets outside during fireworks and recommends placing them in a quiet, safe spot indoors. Warner emphasizes the importance of reading and following fireworks instructions, using common sense, and ensuring children's supervision. Key safety tips include lighting fireworks on a hard, flat surface, avoiding windy conditions, keeping them away from dry brush and structures, and having water sources ready. Spent fireworks should be soaked in water before disposal. Avoid setting off fireworks near crowds and stay sober.

SUMMARY: John said it's dangerously hot outside, affecting both people and infrastructure. In Boonville, heat caused a popular road to crack, leading to traffic delays. WTV's Veronica Mahia reported that the heat makes asphalt expand and contract, worsening damage. Meteorologist Chelsea Simmons explained that recent fluctuations between high daytime and cool morning temperatures contribute to road wear. A Boonville resident highlighted the unbearable outdoor working conditions due to the heat and humidity. Chelsea noted that rain doesn't help, as it can erode the soil beneath cracked roads. Drivers are advised to avoid road buckles safely. The road has since been repaired.
The heat is being blamed for a crack in a road in Booneville.
