SUMMARY: Welcome back, South Mississippi! It’s Weather Kid Wednesday at WXXV, where local kids help with the forecast. Today’s guest is James, an 11-year-old birthday boy who recently celebrated at Escape Arcade. We’re seeing cloud cover and showers mixed with heat. The high today is 97°F, but with humidity, it feels like 115°F due to the heat index—meaning it feels hotter because sweat doesn’t evaporate well. Tomorrow, temperatures will cool slightly to around 103°F with more rain expected, thanks to a low-pressure system. James advises staying in air conditioning, seeking shade, or visiting a water park to beat the heat.
