Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend despite the heat we had. We will still see some high temperatures for the next couple of days, with highs in the upper 90s and heat indices around 110F. Scattered showers/storms will be possible in the afternoon hours throughout the week, which may provide some relief. But here’s some good news to follow up on the hot start! As the rain chances increase later this week, we should see a welcome cooldown from the extreme heat we have had the past several weeks. Let’s get into it!

Local Forecast for Southern MS/AL/LA – 7/15/24: Hot start to the week, with rainy days and cooldown to follow.

Low humidity, sunshine and pleasant temperatures Monday saw temperatures that topped out in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Today we will see temperatures nudge a little higher to a range of 80 to 85 however dew points remain in the low to mid 50s so it will be quite comfortable. Look for lots of sunshine and no showers or thunderstorms are around as the radars remain nice and quiet.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

An end of the heat is in sight for all of the Midwest and Northeast and much of the Southeast before the week comes to an end. Major relief is on the way for the summer swelter that sent temperatures and humidity levels soaring, air conditioners working overtime, and people flocking to beaches and pools in the Midwest and the East. However, AccuWeather meteorologists say that while the humidity will come down in the North, it is likely to stick around in the Southeast.

Aurora, CO

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Good day to everyone; I hope that you had a great week. Looking at our forecast today, one thing concerns me: the high temperatures expected this afternoon. A heat advisory is in effect for southern Louisiana and Mississippi this afternoon. High temperatures are expected to reach the mid-90s, with heat index values expected to be as high as 110 degrees Fehernight. Looking at our rainfall chances, I suspect areas along and south of Interstate 20 will have the highest chance of seeing some rainfall this afternoon. Even so, these showers will be spotty in nature, so I would not count on seeing much rain today, even if you reside south of Interstate 20.
