Extreme heat for Monday and Tuesday in Middle Tennessee, possible severe weather [FXgKHO5gNQg]
FOX 17 News is in a Code Red Weather Alert for severe weather and dangerous heat. Our severe weather threat has decreased heading into Monday morning, but dangerous heat will be with us through Tuesday. The National Weather Service upgraded a heat advisory to an extreme heat warning for portions of Middle Tennessee late Sunday night, warning that dangerously hot conditions will continue through 8 p.m. Tuesday. The warning covers Dickson, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Lawrence, Lewis, Montgomery, Perry, Stewart and Wayne counties, where heat index values could reach 112 degrees. Additional extreme heat warnings remain in effect across much of West Tennessee, North Mississippi, southeast Missouri and eastern Arkansas, with heat index values as high as 114 degrees in some areas. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned buildings, avoid prolonged time outdoors and check on vulnerable family members and neighbors. Our next weather maker arrives late Tuesday into Tuesday night with a low threat for possible damaging wind with isolated thunderstorms. _______________ Follow! Like! Share! Subscribe!
