A couple of thunderstorms this afternoon could produce some localized flooding. Afternoon highs will reach the low to mid-90s today, with an isolated chance of thunderstorms. While skies will be mostly sunny, a few storms could produce heavy rain, placing the area at a 1/5 risk for flooding. Overnight will be mostly clear with lows in the mid-70s. Rain chances remain isolated through the first half of the week and will trail off toward the weekend, though a few stray storms are possible.

TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) — With temperatures soaring over the past couple of weeks, staying cool has become a top priority for all of us. While seeking shade and staying hydrated are key, did you know that the color of your clothes plays a major role in how hot you feel? In this edition of Elijah’s Experiments, we put this theory to the test to explore the fascinating relationship between heat, color and science. Watch the experiment in the video above.

Afternoon highs will continue to climb into the low to mid-90s under partly cloudy skies. While there is a chance for a few isolated showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, most areas will remain dry. Overnight will be mostly clear with lows in the low to mid-70s. Temperatures will remain in the mid-90s through the weekend and into next week. As humidity increases, heat indices will rise, and a Heat Advisory may be required.
