Heat Advisory continues for the Mid-South

Another day, another Heat Warning...

This Sunday AM it feels absolutely tropical when you step outside. Air you can wear is an understatement with dewpoints in the upper 70s and 80s. As a result, most of the Mid-South is under a Heat Advisory (expected to feel like 105-109°) and an Excessive Heat Warning (expected to feel like 110°+).

This goes in effect at 10am until 7pm. Please take care of yourself and loved ones...including pets!

There is a cold front moving closer and it will bring a chance for rain and storms later today mostly along and south of i40 this afternoon/early evening but more importantly, it brings a cool down... No matter how brief...we will take it.

Unfortunately, that really nice weather only lasts a day, Tuesday is livable but by Wednesday/Thursday(4 ^th of July) expect Heat Warnings to be back. Instability is back with the heat and humidity as well which brings with it rain and storm chances during the holiday as well. Don't expect a wash out but, you definitely will have to be diligent with thunder and lightening when in or on the water and outside.

We also have our first Atlantic Hurricane of the year; Beryl is now a Cat 2 and is expected to become a Cat 4 before weakening again prior to landfall...this is unusual to be happening this early in the season and spells out what could be a wild year in the tropics ahead of us.

It continues to be hot across the board. This comes after a high of 94 degrees in Memphis with a heat index that hit 111 degrees.

The heat and humidity will give way to a few showers and storms during the afternoon and early evening. Sunshine returns with much lower humidity on Monday. Likely the best day of the next 7 days. After that the heat and humidity come back with a vengeance as we head towards the 4 ^th of July.

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• Heat advisories and excessive heat warnings up for Sunday
• Low humidity and sunshine on Monday with highs in the upper 80s
• More heat humidity and storms come our way through the 4th.
