If y'all thought last week was hot... Just wait for Monday-Wednesday. 110°F+ heat indices everywhere. The kind of heat with dangerous impacts.🥵 BUT! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. A week from now, we'll be back to normal or even just below normal. 🤩
Children should NEVER be left in a car, no matter the time of year. Vehicular heatstroke has occurred when outside temperatures are below 70°F - sunlight can cause the inside of a car to heat up VERY quickly. Stay #WeatherReady weather.gov/safety/heat-il…

Heat remains the story. This loop shows the Heat Risk over the Midsouth for the next 7 days. These graphics are available here: weather.gov/erh/ghwo?wfo=m… The good news is that we will likely see -slight- moderation of the heat Friday and Saturday.
This heat is no joke, Mid-South. Due to minimal nighttime cooling, the Heat Advisory and Extreme Heat Warning will continue through the overnight hours and into Thursday evening. Things may cool a degree or two this weekend, but long term forecasts keep our area hot and humid.
