Heat index of up to 110 degrees possible today HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL CREATE HIGH HEAT STRESS CONDITIONS TODAY WITH HEAT INDEX READINGS IN MOST LOCATIONS RISING TO AROUND 105 DEGREES WITH A FEW LOCATIONS REACHING NEAR 110 DEGREES. THE HEAT SHOULD BREAK LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WHEN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND RAIN COOLED BREEZES DEVELOP. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS AREAS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 12...AND ACROSS MOST OF SOUTH MISSISSIPPI. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD ALSO OCCUR ACROSS AREAS FURTHER SOUTH AND WEST INCLUDING BATON ROUGE AND METROPOLITAN NEW ORLEANS. THE MAIN THREAT FROM ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO OCCUR FROM SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS. THE GREATEST THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS AND SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE FROM 3 PM TO 8 PM.
