SUMMARY: Most cities in the Jackson metro area do not allow residents to light fireworks at home for Independence Day. However, lax enforcement occurs on July 4th in Brandon, where citizens can light fireworks. Clinton, Flowood, Madison, and Pearl also require permits for public fireworks shows. In Jackson, there is no ordinance preventing homeowners from launching fireworks. Ridgeland does not allow fireworks within city limits, but a public fireworks show took place recently at Old Trace Park and Lakeshore Park.

SUMMARY: Hot and steamy weather on May 9th led to intense storms in east Mississippi and west Alabama. The atmosphere in Jackson showed extreme instability, with high convective available potential energy, dry air at mid-levels, and deep moisture. This combination created strong updrafts, hail growth, and potential for severe wind gusts. Despite little low-level shear, the storms became intense due to extreme buoyancy and rapidly rising air potential. Tornadogenesis was unlikely due to the lack of shear near the surface. Overall, the weather conditions on May 9th created a perfect environment for intense storms to develop.
