FIRST ALERT: Excessive heat returns just in time for the FedEx St. Jude Championship
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The heat will make a comeback for the rest of the work week as a warm front lifts north and an upper-level ridge expands eastward. This pattern will allow for elevated moisture levels and rising temperatures into the next few afternoons. An Excessive Heat Warning is in play for much of the Mid-South making today a FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY.
Not only today but THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ARE FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS due to the anticipated HOT conditions. Much of the region will experience heat index values, or ‘feels like’ temperatures, cresting near 110°.
This should impact your outdoor plans, whether you’re at TPC Southwind or in your own backyard.
When spending extended periods of time outside, especially during the afternoon hours, be sure to stay hydrated and take breaks.
The heat will take a slight dip into the upcoming weekend due to an approaching front, accompanied by a chance of a passing shower or two.
