As we shift to a drier weather pattern in Mississippi this weekend, heat stress will become a problem. In some areas, the combination of hot temperatures and humidity will push the heat index to between 105 and 110 degrees. And the National Weather Service says it’ll only get worse early next week with the heat index in some locations possibly exceeding 110.
Here are the expected heat stress numbers for the local area, based on the current forecast:
Philadelphia– Heat index up to 105 Monday-Wednesday.
Durant– Heat index up to 105 Monday. Heat index up to 110 Tuesday-Wednesday. Heat index up to 105 Thursday.
Carthage– Heat index up to 105 Monday-Thursday.
Kosciusko– Heat index up to 105 Monday-Wednesday.
