SUMMARY: An upcoming storm chance will provide some relief from excessive heat until late in the week, but dangerous heat levels are expected by Thursday and through the weekend. Tuesday will have highs in the 90s, reaching as high as 95° in some areas. Heat indices will not spike into the 100s due to drier air. There may be possible storms in Arkansas that could move toward the region on Wednesday morning. A stretch of dangerously hot days is expected from Thursday to Saturday, with temperatures potentially reaching triple digits and heat indices up to 115°.

Lawmakers had passed different versions of the bills in the House and Senate. Governor Tate Reeves would need to approve a single version for the bills to become law. These bills were part of a larger trend in state legislatures across the U.S. where Republicans are pushing for restrictions on transgender rights.

SUMMARY: A court battle is underway over who has the right to request an independent autopsy for Dau Mabil, who went missing and was found dead.
