Good morning, Jackson.

A burned house near Chastain remains neglected as illegal dumping continues, with local officials monitoring the site (they warn of potential safety hazards).

Jackson package stores are still facing empty shelves today as more shipments arrive but delays continue to affect restocking; local owners say the supply chain issues are keeping stock levels low.

Gas prices across Mississippi increased today as local stations adjust prices due to the rising tension between the United States and Iran, affecting fuel costs for drivers.

Mississippi residents may set early alarms as a total lunar eclipse (cloud cover may block the view) will peak today just before sunrise.

The eclipse starts after 3:30 a.m., with totality beginning after 5 a.m. and peaking shortly after 5:30 a.m.

Jackson dedicated a section of Dalton Street as Mr. Hezekiah Watkins Street today at a ribbon-cuting held at the intersection of Dr. Robert Smith Parkway + Dalton Street to honor the civil rights activist, one of the youngest Freedom Riders.

Authorities in Hinds County issued a burn ban on Monday morning that lasts until April 1 — the order prohibits all outdoor burning in cities and unincorporated areas due to drought and wildfire risks.
