Jackson integrates AI to fix 'extensive damage' from winter storm potholes
In the aftermath of Winter Storm Fern, potholes, both new and worsened pre-existing ones, have prompted Jackson to implement AI to assist with restoration efforts. An unprecedented amount of snow, sleet, and freezing rain beginning Jan. 24 left many roads covered in ice for several days and created a cycle of thawing and refreezing. As temperatures got warmer and the ice began to melt, what is being described as "extensive damage" by City of Jackson Public Works Director Austin Clark, became clear. More: Jackson, Madison Co. leaders: Better coordination, communication with TDOT next storm More: Jackson officials to reevaluate process for clearing state roads during Winter Storm Fern Surrounded by street department employees, City of Jackson Public Works Director Austin announced on Feb. 9 that the city would be utilizing Samsara AI Pilot, a system that equips vehicles with GPS G-Force technology to detect pothole locations. "Any time you have large amounts of precipitation, whether it's snow, sleet, or rainfall, you have an extensive amount of potholes, some recurring and some new," Clark said. In this instance, because of a lot of the contractors and equipment that we use to try to combat some of the ice on streets, we

Heavy Rain Coming Saturday Evening Through Sunday Morning
We fell down near freezing this morning in Jackson and warmed up close to 60° this afternoon. We should fall down to the mid 30s tonight before reaching up to the mid 60s with mostly sunny skies on Friday. Changes are coming on Saturday as rain showers will be increasing in coverage and intensity as the day goes on. Rain showers will begin to move into West Tennessee on Saturday morning. The showers will be off and on and relatively light during the morning and afternoon. As the evening moves in, the showers will become more widespread and heavier around the time people start heading out for their dinner plans for Valentine’s Day. People who stay out late Saturday night will likely encounter some heavy rain showers with possibly a few weak storms trying to mix in as well. Chances are highest south of Jackson and are lowest north of Madison county to encounter a thunderstorm. That being said, severe weather seems unlikely at this time in our area from this system. Rain totals in general will be between 1-2″ but some isolated pockets of 3″ cannot be ruled out. Catch the latest coming up here.

Rain Showers & a Few Storms Tonight, Looking Wet for Valentine’s Day
The line of showers is approaching Union City and Martin around 9:30pm and will continue to drop to the south tonight. The showers are moving almost due east. So far no lightning has been detected along the line. There isn’t that much more energy along and south of I-40, so rapid intensifying along the line seems highly unlikely. That being said, some pockets of thunder and lightning will still be possible tonight close to midnight in Jackson as the showers move through. The showers could linger as late as 2-3am in Hardin county before the move out before the sun comes up. Strong storms or severe weather is NOT expected tonight with this line.. There is another system heading our way for the weekend and we have some good news on that front; at least for us here in West Tennessee and we will have it for you coming up right here.

Jackson officials to reevaluate process for clearing state roads during Winter Storm Fern
City and county officials are explaining why some roads across Jackson are still plagued by layers of ice, including delays in treating state roads across Jackson due to state rules, timing, and a lack of normally utilized equipment. Local discourse on social media in response to Jackson Mayor Scott Conger and Madison County Mayor A.J. Massey's posts has prompted criticism of the speed at which roads have been cleared and why impassability of others remains. City neighborhood streets leading to main roadways, particularly in the downtown area, remain slick days after the storm. As of Monday and Tuesday, Tennessee Department of Transportation was able to begin aid in Jackson and Madison County. Although Conger and Massey call the storm unprecedented, citizens are demanding answers. "It's definitely, in my opinion, the most impactful storm we've had in the last 16 years in my memory," Bryce Miller, Jackson resident, said. "I have gone out on the roads very sparingly, but just to come and check on our workshop that we have in South Jackson. I was out on the snow and ice, and I have only ever seen one actual snow plow on the road, and I saw that snow plow today.
