Nearly all locations across the midsouth did not reach or top the century mark Saturday as moisture…clouds…and rain with a cold front kept temperatures down. A slightly cooler airmass moving in will keep temperatures below 100 degrees today. Some locations will approach the 100 degree mark on Monday…but likely not reach or exceed this mark.
Now appears that 100 degree temperatures will probably not return to the midsouth as moisture…clouds…and rain will increase by the middle of the week. A significant cool down may occur by the end of this week.
The month of August is shaping up to be one of the hottest on record across the midsouth. The table below illustrate the observed temperatures through August 25th.

Most locations across the midsouth recorded high temperatures in the triple digits on Thursday with many locations such as Memphis…Tupelo…and Jackson tying or even surpassing previous records.
Triple digit heat will continue across the midsouth today with many locations approaching or breaking record high temperatures once again. Heat index readings will once again reach advisory criteria with locations in the 105 to 110 degree range through Saturday.
A brief break in the heat wave with high temperatures below 100 degrees may occur this weekend as a weak cold front brings more moisture and clouds to the midsouth on Saturday…then perhaps slightly cooler air on Sunday. However…100 degree heat may still occur this weekend…and will likely return Monday through Wednesday of next week as high pressure builds in. A significant cool down may occur by the end of next week which may end the current heat wave.
The tables below illustrate the observed temperatures through August 23rd.
| Date | Memphis | Jonesboro | Jackson | Tupelo |
| 8/07 | 96 | 97 | 100 | 98 |
| 8/08 | 97 | 97 | 101 | 98 |

Even with several locations receiving rainfall on Saturday…including over one inch at Memphis…many locations were still able to reach the century mark during the afternoon hours.
Temperatures over the midsouth should reach the triple digits at most locations once again today even with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected across the area.
Some relief from the triple digit heat is possible on Monday…as the upper level high pressure ridge retreats slightly. However…this relief will be short lived as the upper level ridge is expected to build back over the midsouth…resulting in temperatures nearing the century mark once again into the middle part of the week.
The tables below illustrate the observed temperatures through August 18th.
| Date | Memphis | Jonesboro | Jackson | Tupelo |
| 8/07 | 96 | 97 | 100 | 98 |
| 8/08 | 97 | 97 | 101 | 98 |
| 8/09 | 99 | 100 | 102 | 99 |
| 8/10 | 102 | 99 | 101 | 104 |
| 8/11 | 102 | 99 | 101 | 100 |
| 8/12 | 103 | 101 | 102 | 102 |
| 8/13 | 105 | 102 | 104 | 103 |
