Brookhaven, Mississippi

... Heat advisory in effect from 12 PM Sunday to 7 am CDT Monday...

The National Weather Service in Jackson has issued a heat
advisory... which is in effect from 12 PM Sunday to 7 am CDT
Monday.

Hot temperatures will return to the area on Sunday with highs
expected to reach 98 to 102 degrees. These readings will combine
with a humid airmass and result in heat index values between 104 and
108 degrees. Not much relief is expected overnight Sunday as low
temperatures should only fall to the mid 70s. Additionally... Sunday
looks to be the first of several days of very hot and humid
conditions. Expect the heat advisory to be extended into the first
and middle part of next week.

A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is
expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity
will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are
possible. Drink plenty of fluids... stay in an air-conditioned
room... stay out of the sun... and check up on relatives and
neighbors.
