Mississippi Skies: Temps getting hotter with no relief expected anytime soon

Published 9:34 pm Thursday, July 27, 2023

Our temperatures are rising even more as humidity levels increase. It won’t take long to become extremely dangerous for anyone working outdoors Friday, or any day through the weekend.

We’ll remain mostly dry, but there is a chance for an isolated shower or thunderstorm across most of the state. Winds will be calm to slightly breezy so we really won’t get much of a break from any pleasant breeze or rain. Heat advisories cover most of the state.

We still have that one pesky disturbance in the Atlantic we’ve been watching. Development chances remain low over the next several days; however, it won’t weaken and dissipate like the other two systems did earlier in the week.
