EXTREME HEAT ADVISORIES AND WATCHES ISSUED:
Dangerous heat is expected through early next week as temperatures and humidity continue to climb. An Extreme Heat Watch is in effect for North Mississippi and Southwest Tennessee, while a Heat Advisory remains in effect for other parts of the region. Heat index values of up to 115° are possible.

We know it's summertime in the South, but this level of heat can quickly become dangerous. Heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States. If you must be outdoors, drink plenty of water even if you don't feel thirsty, take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning, and avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day. Check on elderly neighbors, young children, and anyone without reliable cooling, and never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle.
