7/5 Rob’s “Hump Day” Midday News Forecast

A stagnant air mass continues to dominate the region with morning low temps in the low 80s, and after a VERY HOT 4th of July, the heat will continue heading into the weekend. High-pressure in the N’tern Gulf of Mexico will continue to hold strong but begin to break down and move east by Friday. Isolated showers have been in the area since sunrise, with isolated t-storms this afternoon and Thursday due to intense daytime heating. Going into the weekend, rain potential will elevate to over 50% as a weak cold front slips into central Mississippi.

HEAT INDICES will continue to be above 100 degrees. Remember to stay hydrated, seek shade and take periodic breaks if playing or working in the sun…
