Good morning, Jackson.

City officials rescheduled the Christmas Tree Lighting and Parade to today because forecasted rain prompted the change.

The tree lighting begins at 5:15 p.m. in front of Jackson City Hall (101 East Main Street) and the parade starts at 6:30 p.m. from Carl Perkins Civic Center, moving through Downtown Jackson.

The Scotts Hill Fire Department announced that former Chief Vernice Broadway died after a three-decade career — the department asked residents to keep his family in their thoughts as funeral plans are pending.

West Tennesseans are invited to email photos of their Christmas lights to be featured in a local gallery showcasing festive displays—this call for submissions highlights a regional celebration of holiday decor.

The Salvation Army of Jackson is calling on local residents to join Giving Tuesday today by donating online, at a Red Kettle, by mail or by volunteering, with gifts helping support food programs, shelter and emergency aid — all kept in West Tennessee.

The nonprofit, which provided thousands of food boxes and clothing items last year, urges continued support as community needs grow.

Feeding America's mobile food pantry will visit McNairy, Hardeman, and Haywood counties this week to distribute free boxes of food and help local residents in need.

Jackson Public Works prepared trucks with salt sprayers and snowplows ahead of a wintry mix that was expected Monday night into Tuesday morning in West Tennessee, and officials advised drivers to allow extra distance for safety.

Many local residents filled up on gas and essential supplies — a sign they were ready to face potential icy roads.

According to GasBuddy, average gas prices in Tennessee fell by 3.8 cents to $2.56 per gallon today — a drop that makes prices lower than they were a month and a year ago.

Some stations now offer gas for under $2 per gallon.

Residents in Jackson are invited to vote for the boys athlete of the week from the TSSAA playoff semifinals—nominees include Braylin Dearmon from Huntingdon with 17 carries, 176 yards and three touchdowns; Cole Brown from McKenzie who went 10-of-12 for 268 yards and three scores while adding 80 rushing yards and a touchdown; Jaydon Peete from Milan with 28 carries for 247 yards and five touchdowns; Tyshaun Jeter from South Gibson with 15 carries for 110 yards and two touchdowns; and CD Damron from Westview with 12 tackles, an interception and a 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown—and the vote closes Dec. 4.
