Good morning Tupelo! Today is Thursday, October 4th, 2018. It is the 277th day of the year, there are 88 days remaining. Next Monday is Columbus Day, so most of the schools in the area will be out, plan accordingly. There are 27 days until Halloween.
Here’s the WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day and man, it’s going to be a rough one.
WTVA Weather
High pressure continues to build across the Deep South as we head into Thursday. This will lead to mostly sunny skies and little to no chance of rain in the coming days. We’ll start out our day with mostly clear skies and temperatures near 70. Throughout the day, we might see a few clouds here and there. But in terms of rainfall, expect none. Heat on the other hand will be plentiful. Highs climb into the lower 90s with heat index values mostly in the mid-90s.
