SUMMARY: Today’s First Alert Weather Kid is Kayliana, who submitted a creative drawing featured during the forecast segment. Her picture depicted the sun shining brightly, but with a lot of clouds in the sky, partially blocking the sunshine. The image cleverly captured the essence of a partly cloudy day, emphasizing how the clouds bring down the sunlight. In other news, the Clarke County Sheriff’s Department will be installing new cameras to enhance law enforcement capabilities. More details about this development are expected to be shared soon as part of ongoing updates to improve public safety and surveillance infrastructure.

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.
