Oppressive Heat Continues Thru Weekend


Temperatures continue to flirt with the century mark as a second week of near record heat engulfs the Midsouth. To add insult to injury, high heat indices have been noted across the Midsouth as well. As of 3:00 PM Tuesday, the heat index reading in Monticello was at 109.

Look for more of the same the next several days as the strong high pressure holds strong into the weekend. Overnight lows are edging their way upwards to the 80 degree mark which will make for some very sultry evenings.

A weak "back-door" frontal boundary is situated across the state this afternoon and is causing a few isolated thunderstorms to fire off. If you are fortunate enough to encounter one of these-enjoy it !
