Friday Highs

This is the hottest week so far this year bringing temperatures to the mid to upper 90's and even close to 100. The hot spot will be in the Greenville and Greenwood area with highs in the upper 90's, but I would not be surprised if a station or two reached 100. Humidity and dewpoints are going to be relatively low, so the heat index should only feel a few degrees warmer than the actual temperature, which should keep most of Mississippi below Heat Advisory criteria (105 degrees). I will update if one is issued later on. A cold front will move through Sunday and into Labor Day bringing much needed cooler temperatures. YES!
