Summer coming early? Here’s what NOAA’s forecast map shows for Mississippi
SUMMARY: A long-range forecast from the Climate Prediction Center shows that most U.S. states are likely to experience warmer-than-average weather this spring. Michigan and Oregon still have chances of snow and cold weather, but overall have a 50% to 60% chance of experiencing a warm spring season. The Pacific Northwest, Upper Midwest, and Great Lakes have the highest chances of warmer temperatures. Additionally, a large portion of the country, from the Plains to the East Coast and South, is expected to have a wetter-than-normal spring. El Niño is expected to fade out in the coming months, leading to a “neutral” period before La Niña takes over, which could bring dry, warmer conditions across the southern US in the fall and winter.

SUMMARY: Prosecutors in Jackson are seeking a protective order to prevent the release of sensitive information in a bribery case involving Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba, and City Councilman Aaron Banks. The motion aims to protect personal, financial, and grand jury information, fearing it could impair investigations and fair trial rights. The three officials face charges related to a bribery scheme involving $80,000 in bribes for approving a real estate development project. Other individuals, including former City Councilwoman Angelique Lee and Sherik Marve Smith, are also implicated, with Smith pleading guilty to conspiracy.

Suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO struggles, shouts while entering courthouse
SUMMARY: Luigi Nicholas Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate, was arrested in Pennsylvania and charged with the murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare.
