A Heat Advisory has been issued for southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi on Wednesday. Heat index values could climb up to 110-112°F during the afternoon hours.
Hot conditions will continue through the week, but there could be some afternoon relief in the form of isolated showers and thunderstorms, especially over the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Our area is in a risk of rapid onset drought through the end of this month. This is due to the extreme heat and little rain decreasing the moisture in the soil and vegetation. Ensure to follow local burn bans as wildfire risk is the main concern right now!
