This week, we're under the influence of a high-pressure system, continuing to bring us sizzling temperatures. Expect highs in the mid to upper 90s each day, with a chance to hit 100° or even 101° in places like Alexandria!
The heat indices are likely to reach between 105°-110°, which has led to a fifth Heat Advisory being issued for tomorrow.
As the week progresses, the high-pressure slightly weakens, which may allow for a few isolated afternoon storms to pop up. However, with minimal rainfall in sight, drought conditions are starting to spread across the region.
Multiple parishes in Louisiana, including Jeff Davis Parish, have issued Burn Bans due to very dry and hot conditions.
Stay cool and hydrated out there! The summer heat is sticking around for the rest of the month, which will keep our temperatures warmer than normal.
