SUMMARY: The Board of Aldermen will meet with the center again on April 16, where lawyers for the family of a 16-year-old killed at a poultry plant in Hattiesburg are reacting to the companies denying all liability. The family lawyer claims the lawsuit is just the tip of the iceberg and states that the death was preventable and resulted from negligence. The company claims the family cannot seek additional money for damages due to the Mississippi worker's compensation law. Legal responses and investigations are ongoing, and more information can be found on the case on WDAM.com.

SUMMARY: The upcoming wave of rain has weakened and is not expected to bring severe storms to the area, with the possibility of isolated severe storms primarily towards the coast. The storm energy is higher towards the coast compared to the northern and western areas, reducing the likelihood of severe weather locally. While there may still be moderate to heavy rainfall leading to potential localized flooding, the severe weather threat is low. Some scattered thunderstorms may still occur, but the overall outlook is for decreasing storm activity overnight with a chance of isolated strong to severe storms on Tuesday. The weekend is expected to be better with sunshine.

A much drier Tuesday, but isolated storms are possible
