mid-south

Rainfall is expected to return to the Mid-South Friday, with totals ranging from 1.5 to 3 inches, the National Weather Service says.

Relative humidity below 30% in parts of the Mid-South prompts a warning to avoid sparks and follow local burn bans.

Dry, quiet weather with highs mainly in the 80s is expected across the Mid-South through early next week before midweek rain chances return.

A largely dry pattern is expected through the weekend, with Mid-South highs generally in the mid to upper 80s.

Mid-South temperatures are expected to climb near 90°F by Tuesday, with rain-free weekend skies and isolated storms possible Wednesday.

Temperatures will warm gradually across the Mid-South into the weekend and early next week after a cooler day.

The Mid-South is in for another cool night before temperatures rise above normal by the weekend, though not to recent heat-wave levels.

Mid-South highs are expected to stay in the mid to upper 80s through the weekend, though 95-plus readings can continue in August and early September.

Very hot temperatures are expected through Monday, with a weak cold front bringing slightly cooler conditions to the Mid-South next week.‌
