SUMMARY: County Democratic Executive Committees in Mississippi hosted county conventions where delegates to the congressional district conventions were elected. The Jones County convention was held in Laurel, with 41 delegates in attendance representing all five supervisor districts in the county. This process is part of selecting delegates for state and national conventions later this year. Delegates play a crucial role in the Democratic Party’s decision-making process, contributing to the selection of candidates for various positions. The conventions serve as a platform for delegates to voice their opinions and shape the party’s agenda.

SUMMARY: Asian needle ants, an invasive species from East Asia, have been spotted in at least 17 states, including Mississippi and Texas. These ants deliver a painful sting that can pierce clothing and inject venom causing severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis, which may lead to swelling, breathing difficulties, and rapid heartbeat. At least three people in Georgia required hospitalization after stings last year. Unlike the non-dangerous Joro spider recently spreading through the Southeast, the Asian needle ant poses a serious health risk. Experts warn residents to remain vigilant to prevent these ants from nesting and spreading further across the U.S.

The Asian needle ant has been spotted in several U.S. states, including Mississippi.

SUMMARY: Today’s First Alert Weather Kid is Anna Catherine (6/17). Katherine submitted today’s drawing, which shows rain falling with a person standing outside. The person’s umbrella appears to have blown away, and they look surprised, saying, “Oh no!” Many can relate to this scene, especially after the heavy rainfall that moved through yesterday. Thank you, Katherine, for your photo submission. You can submit your own pictures just like Katherine did. Stay tuned for more updates on the rest of the week’s weather on the other side of the break.
