Highs & Heat Indices This Week

Dangerous heat stress will begin to creep back into the area from the southwest on Wednesday. Heat indices are likely to peak near 105 F in the "Limited" risk area during the afternoon and early evening. Fatigue and heat exhaustion are possible with prolonged outdoor activity.

Increasing heat and humidity into next week will result in a near day-over-day increase in heat indices across the area. An "Elevated" risk for heat danger encompasses much of the area where heat indices will likely rise above 105 F. Portions of eastern Mississippi will see slightly lower humidity but heat indices will likely be near 105 F regardless within the indicated "Limited" risk area. Heat exhaustion is likely with prolonged outdoor activity during the expected long-duration period of heat danger.
