A Heat Advisory is in effect until 8 PM Tuesday for locations along and west of I-65 (including Lincoln and Moore counties in Tennessee) due to highs reaching the mid to upper 90s with heat indices up to 105-108 degrees. Make sure to practice proper heat safety by staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous outdoor activities if possible, and never leaving people or pets in vehicles!
Elevated heat continues to build as we move into the new work week. Heat index values are forecast to rise between 96-107F today and Tuesday. Somewhat higher rain chances as we go into the midweek should temper overall temperatures and heat indices a tad Wednesday, and somewhat more in the late week. Make sure to take frequent breaks, drink plenty of water, and stay out of the direct sun for as much as possible. Never leave kids or pets in unattended vehicles!!
Low temperatures and precipitation chances for tonight.
