Another sizzler across Mississippi today. Expect afternoon highs in the triple digits– for the third day in a row in some places. Monday, Columbus got up to 105 and it was 104 in Meridian and Greenville. A heat advisory will be in effect for most of Mississippi.
Most of the local area can expect afternoon highs near 100 today with a heat index ranging from 108 in Carthage and Kosciusko to 109 in Philadelphia and 110 in Durant. Wednesday will be pretty much the same.
Isolated severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening across the local area. The storms could produce damaging winds.
