SUMMARY: Chief Meteorologist Patrick Big B provides a tropical update sponsored by Eddie Pearson Roofing. He discusses two areas of interest: one in the Gulf of Mexico with a low 10% chance of development off the coast of the Carolinas, and another potential system in the Bay of Campeche. The latter is expected to develop and move northwest towards the Texas coast by late next week, possibly affecting areas near the Mexico-Texas border. If it forms into a storm, it would be named Alberto. Currently, no other signs of tropical development are expected in the upcoming days, but monitoring will continue.

SUMMARY: Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes advocates for Jackson's Police Chief Joseph Wade and his team to work under official contracts, citing crime reduction and operational autonomy. Two weeks ago, the City Council voted in favor, but Mayor vetoed the decision, calling it unnecessary. Stokes insists it's within their rights to override the veto. Councilman Aaron Banks and Brian Grizzell oppose, arguing it's redundant and potentially harmful to employee benefits like health insurance and retirement. Despite the supermajority's support, the debate continues over the necessity and impact of these contracts on city employees' rights and benefits.

Council members are moving forward after overriding the mayor's veto to issue contracts to Jackson's police and fire chiefs.
