SUMMARY: The second day of summer brings very warm temperatures, with highs in the lower to mid-90s. Morning temperatures will be in the 70s, reaching the 80s by 9-10 AM, and hitting the upper 80s to lower 90s by noon. The UV index is very high, so sunblock and sun hats are essential. Heat index values will feel like the upper 90s, and triple digits are expected over the weekend due to a high-pressure system. In the tropics, there's a 40-60% chance of storm development near the coast of Florida and Georgia. Next week, expect temperatures in the mid-90s with a chance of rain starting Monday.

SUMMARY: The Hinds County Board of Supervisors is debating the future of a former military entrance processing building in downtown Jackson, currently serving as a voting precinct. While some supervisors propose renaming it the Hinds County Administration Building and relocating the Election Commission there, election officials argue that such a move before an election would be logistically challenging. They believe a master plan is essential to avoid misusing funds during renovations. The building is in Bobby McGowan's District Five, and he feels that other supervisors are overstepping by interfering with the district's affairs. Positive feedback has been received, but concerns remain about the timing and planning.

SUMMARY: With the Fourth of July approaching, experts emphasize fireworks safety to prevent injuries. Dr. Derek Cen, a burn specialist at Baptist Memorial Hospital, sees numerous burn patients each year during this period. He and Dr. Coleman advise adults to supervise children closely around fireworks. Demonstrations showed the power and potential harm of fireworks, including incidents where individuals suffered severe injuries from holding mortar tubes. To minimize risks, Dr. Coleman recommends keeping a bucket of water nearby and wearing protective clothing. These precautions can significantly reduce the danger associated with fireworks celebrations.
