Active Weather Starts Today
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Another quiet start this morning but a stormy afternoon on the way. Getting out the door with a few passing clouds and temperatures in the mid and upper 60s today. Areas south of I-20 are seeing dense, patchy fog again so give yourself a little extra time for the morning commute if you’ll be traveling there. You won’t need the jacket, but make sure you bring the umbrella as you head out the door! Coverage of showers and thunderstorms will increase after the lunchtime hours. This will lead to a slow evening commute across central MS. A few storms, especially west of I-55, could reach severe criteria with gusty winds. With a level 1 out of 5 risk for severe storms in those areas, we also cannot rule out a spin-up tornado.
Judge grants autopsy rules requested by widow of Mississippi man found dead after vanishing
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi judge granted a request Thursday by the widow of a deceased man who vanished under mysterious circumstances to set standards for a future independent autopsy of her late husband’s body. Hinds County Chancery Judge Dewayne Thomas formalized through a court order comments he made at a Tuesday hearing that the body of Dau Mabil would be preserved at the Mississippi state crime lab while investigators try to shed light on what happened to the man. “I’m relieved to have more of an opportunity to grieve,” Karissa Bowley, Mabil’s widow, told The Associated Press. “Now we can get back to what we were already doing, which is trying to find out as much as we can about whatever happened to Dau.” Mabil, who lived in Jackson with Bowley, went missing in broad daylight on March 25 after going for a walk. Mabil escaped a bloody civil war in Sudan as a child and built a new life in America. His disappearance prompted an outcry from civil rights organizations and is alleged to have sparked discord between local law enforcement agencies.
