The heat continues, but short-term relief may be in the cards for Thursday and Friday: SE Mississippi/SW Alabama Weather Forecast – 6/16/2022

The string of hot days continues with high temperatures and humid conditions being present over the next week. The high-pressure system responsible does not look to budge and give us any long-term relief anytime soon. However, chances for showers and thunderstorms will be present over the next week in the evening and overnight hours.

Very moist air will continue to overspread the area, which in conjunction with the heat will make for very hot and sticky weather. Heat indices will range between 100F to 110F through to next week.
