9/27- An overall nice weekend with cooler than average temps
SUMMARY: Happy Friday! The tropics are very active with Hurricane Isaac and Tropical Storm Joy in the Atlantic, both staying offshore and not affecting land, mainly impacting shipping routes. Other systems are being monitored for potential development, particularly in the Caribbean. Meanwhile, remnants of former Hurricane Helen are transitioning to an extratropical cyclone, bringing rain and cooler temperatures to parts of the Central U.S. Local areas may experience light sprinkles and gusty winds, but overall, the weekend looks pleasant with cooler temperatures and sunshine, although a light shower is possible Saturday morning. Temperatures might warm up next week.

Jackson police work to solve recent homicides
SUMMARY: The Jackson Police Department (JPD) has solved the two latest homicides, making three arrests within 24 hours, with a fourth pending. Police Chief Joseph Wade attributes the 80% solvability rate to a new focused approach that prioritizes witness statements, physical evidence, and technology. He emphasizes accountability for violent crimes, aided by new federal resources after Jackson was designated a public safety partnership city. While crime rates have declined, Wade stresses the importance of community involvement and judicial reform, advocating for stricter bail for violent offenders to bolster crime-fighting efforts.
