SUMMARY: It was a hot day with no record-breaking temperatures. Despite some sprinkles, the area, particularly Meridian, remained dry, leading to a rainfall deficit for the month. The outlook suggests continued heat with slightly cooler conditions and lower humidity expected by the weekend, thanks to a cold front. Debbie, a weather system, has strengthened but remains slow-moving and disorganized. It’s forecasted to merge with a cold front and eventually head northeast, bringing minor improvements to the weather. Temperatures will still be in the mid-90s, but with lower dew points, making it feel less oppressive.

Becoming less humid by this weekend

SUMMARY: Northeast Jackson residents are concerned after a vehicle got stuck in a ditch due to erosion along Wychwood Boulevard near Oakwood Boulevard and Fern Crest Drive. The ditch, located by a creek that fills during rain, caused a resident’s daughter to become stuck recently. Councilman Ashby Foote, representing Ward One where Oakwood is located, acknowledged the issue. He submitted photos of the erosion to the city administration about four weeks ago and asked that it be prioritized by the Public Works Department. Although repairs are pending due to the administration transition, Foote plans to submit the project to the new mayor and urges caution when driving in the area.

SUMMARY: The Fourth of July is about more than fun and food; it symbolizes freedom and American civil liberties. Marie Menifield of 12 News shares that many people focus on food, family traditions, and the freedom to choose how they celebrate. Amid global unrest, Americans are honoring the day and appreciating the freedoms often taken for granted. Many participants cherish their rights and recognize the sacrifices made for them. Some celebrate with events like the Farm Bureau Watermelon Classic 5K, while others spend quiet time with family, grilling and shooting fireworks. Festivities continue through the weekend with law enforcement present for safety.
