According to the NWS, Temperatures are expected to be in the high 90s with heat indices between 105 and 110 for southwest Mississippi. Lincoln County is under a heat advisory Monday and will be under a heat advisory Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Be sure to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks if working outside and find a cool place. Fortunately, long term outlooks show drought conditions are not expected to form.
