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: In connection with the Jackson bribery scandal, attorneys for federal officials and local leaders filed a motion to postpone the trial to allow time for extensive evidence review, including hours of recordings and thousands of pages of documents. Key figures charged include Hinds County DA Jody Owens, Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba, and Councilman Aaron Banks, each facing multiple counts of conspiracy related to bribery and fraud. The scandal involves alleged bribes amounting to over $80,000 related to a downtown development project, facilitated by individuals posing as real estate developers working with the FBI.

SUMMARY: Nearly two years after Dexter Wade’s death, his family continues seeking justice. On November 20, Dexter Wade Day was observed in Jackson, declared by Councilman Kenneth Stokes. Wade, hit by a Jackson police cruiser in March 2023, was later found in a pauper’s grave in Hinds County, and his mother, Bettersten Wade, was unaware of his death until August 2023. She believes his death was covered up. No arrests have been made, and authorities consider it an accident. Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade expressed condolences and shared updates on new policies to prevent similar tragedies.
