The park, featuring nine water slides, two water dump stations, a Lazy River, and a swim-up bar, has drawn over a thousand guests seeking relief.

SUMMARY: A significant software glitch is disrupting Mississippi’s driver license bureaus, with operations expected to resume by the week’s end. The Department of Public Safety revealed that a routine update from a third-party vendor caused the issues, resulting in 2 to 3-hour wait times at various offices. Currently, only limited services, such as gun permits and ID cards, are being offered. Commissioner Tindle addressed accountability and future contracts with the vendor to prevent recurrence. He urged the public to remain patient as staff work diligently to resolve the chaos caused by the tech failure.

SUMMARY: Residents of the Georgetown community in Jackson are frustrated with the ongoing closure of a bridge on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, which has been shut for years. Reverend PJ Williams and local leaders feel neglected after promises to repair the bridge went unmet. The closure has led to accidents, disrupted community activities, and a growing pothole emitting foul odors. Despite addressing the city council and mayor, no action has been taken. Reverend Williams emphasizes the urgency of the situation, calling for immediate repairs. Efforts to get a response from the city have been unsuccessful.

SUMMARY: Good morning! It’s a beautiful start to the day, though there’s dense fog in some areas, especially in Mississippi. Visibility is limited to less than a quarter mile in places like Meridian and down equipment. A dense fog advisory is in effect until 10 a.m., so drive safely. Temperatures are cool in the upper 30s to lower 40s this morning, but we’ll warm up to the mid-70s this afternoon. Expect more warmth through the week with highs in the mid-70s, despite a slight dip on Thursday due to a cold front and showers. More rain is expected next Monday. src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/G2zDrM_WNF0?rel=0&cc_load_policy=1&hl=en&modestbranding=1″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen>
