WLBT First Alert Forecast

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A Heat Advisory returns at 11 AM Sunday and lasts through 9 PM Sunday evening. Tommorow’s heat risk is more limited, with heat index values from 105° to 110°, but it will turn even hotter heading into the new week.

We’ve issued First Alert Weather Days for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday due to dangerous heat and extreme “feels like” temperatures. Highs will be near 100° each day, and when you factor in the humidity, heat index values will climb to 110° or higher. It’s best to limit strenuous outdoor activity, stay hydrated, and take frequent cooling breaks. And remember—always check the back seat for children and pets.

We should finally catch a break later in the week with better rain chances, and we could really use it. So far this July, we’ve picked up only about 1.5 inches of rain—normally we’d be closer to 4 inches by now.
