High heat index values this holiday weekendMERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) - The holiday weekend is here, and we need to brace ourselves for some very hot weather... the hottest of the year thus far. Highs this weekend will reach the low 90s Saturday through Monday. Dew point temps will hover around 70 degrees, and this indicates a “tropical” humid air mass. So, when you factor in the high heat with the higher dew points... that will lead to heat index values in ranging from 97-103 degrees during the afternoons. This type of heat is nothing to overlook because heat illness will be possible if you’re not careful. So, if you plan to do anything strenuous, make sure to take frequent breaks and to stay hydrated. Also, make sure to NEVER leave your kids or pets in a hot car: https://www.weather.gov/grb/heat.Meridian, MS2 days ago
