SUMMARY: Hurricane Barrel is rewriting history as one of the strongest hurricanes east of the Lesser Antilles, making landfall in the Windward Islands. Now a Category 5 hurricane with 160 mph winds, it's moving West Northwest and expected to impact Jamaica midweek. High pressure may weaken it as it heads towards the Central and Northwestern Caribbean, potentially affecting the Yucatan, then turning North. Texas and Louisiana should monitor it closely. Meanwhile, heat waves continue with record-challenging temperatures in Meridian, up to 110°F with humidity. Rain relief is expected by Wednesday. July averages include over 5 inches of rain and highs around 94°F.

The 1st week of July will be hotter than average

SUMMARY: This 4th of July, the cost of a cookout for 10 people has risen by 20% compared to five years ago. However, fireworks remain affordable, thanks to businesses like D and D Fireworks in Morville, which has been selling fireworks for over 25 years. Despite economic challenges, they keep prices low by importing directly from China, offering items that range from 99 cents to $150. The American Pyrotechnics Association predicts a $100 million increase in consumer spending on fireworks this year. D and D Fireworks also provides discounts for first responders and police officers, ensuring everyone can celebrate safely and affordably.

Celebrating Independence Day this year has gotten really pricey. The average cost of a cookout for 10 people is 30% higher than this time five years ago. But there's one thing that folks won't have to worry about paying more for: fireworks.
