Hinds County leaders re-evaluate re-entry program
SUMMARY: Hinds County is taking steps to be more efficient and effective with its resources, including re-evaluating the Hinds County Re-Entry Program and other programs funded by the county. Supervisor Robert Graham is advocating for a balanced budget, and the District Attorney's Office also has a re-entry program. Both officials believe that more funds should be allocated to services rather than salaries. The goal is to help those who were once incarcerated reintegrate into society and become productive citizens, with a focus on providing employment and opportunities. There is still some uncertainty about the changes, but the emphasis is on paving roads, repairing bridges, and fixing potholes.

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.
