WLBT FIRST ALERT FORECAST

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - First up, the heat. We are climbing right back through the 90s, and we’ll be flirting with 100 degrees by the weekend. But it’s the humidity that’s the real story. The ‘feels-like’ temperature is going to hover between 105 and 110 degrees—the official threshold for Heat Advisories.

To help cool us off, we’ll be dealing with our classic summertime pattern: isolated afternoon and early evening storms. No severe outbreaks are on the table, but a few individual cells could pack a punch. The good news? These are quick-movers, typically dumping rain and wrapping up in about 20 minutes. Not everyone will see the rain but keep the umbrella close by.

And a quick check on the tropics: we are tracking two areas in the mid-Atlantic. Right now, one wave has a high 50% chance of developing into a tropical storm. We’ll keep watching them closely.
