First Alert Weather Live Update – May 20, 2024
SUMMARY: A Facebook Live show discussed the upcoming weather for the week, noting that despite early summer warmth, it's mostly uninteresting with low activity. The coolest weather with 62-66° lows happens early in the week, accompanied by patchy fog and low humidity. Expect rising temperatures, reaching 90° today and low 90s by midweek. Clouds increase, leading to a hot, humid finish reminiscent of July and August, with heat indices in the triple digits. A slight rain chance exists Friday night. The rest of the week will be mostly dry, with rising humidity and temperatures, urging caution for heat exposure.
It's sunny skies this Monday morning, but what's in store for the week ahead?
SUMMARY: Four people died in highway crashes during the Fourth of July holiday travel period, according to state troopers. None of the fatalities occurred in the local viewing area. Troopers reported 141 crashes leading to 45 injuries and four deaths. The fatal accidents happened in Pearl River County, Scott County, Sunflower County, and Pike County.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP) investigated four fatal crashes during the Independence Day holiday weekend.
SUMMARY: We have a lot of work to do as a law enforcement agency, community, and city leaders. The Jackson Police Department (JP D) is solving cases exceptionally well with a 79% solvability rate, which outpaces the national average of around 52%. Most homicides involve acquaintances, suggesting a need for better conflict resolution strategies. We must focus on youth engagement and parental supervision, as demonstrated by a recent incident involving minors committing capital murder. Community involvement is crucial, with video surveillance from citizens significantly contributing to solving cases. This cooperation is vital in addressing violent crime in Jackson.
Roy Love was killed as he worked security at M&M Food Mart on Cooper Road.
