Heat Advisory issued for Mid-South through Friday evening

The National Weather Service has extended its heat alert for the Mid-South, converting the previous Extreme Heat Watch into an areawide Heat Advisory through 8 p.m. Friday.

Officials cited uncertainties regarding potential thunderstorms later in the week, which have lowered confidence in reaching heat index values above 110 degrees.

Residents are advised to stay cool and hydrated as temperatures remain high. The region continues to monitor weather conditions that could influence the severity of the heat and storm chances.
