NCEI Storm Data entries that began inside the alert's area while it was in force. Before 2003 the local storm report archive is thin, so this is the record of what happened rather than what was phoned in. Storm Data before 1996 records only tornadoes, thunderstorm wind and hail.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
306 PM CDT SUN JUL 8 1990

...HEAT INDEX AROUND 110 OVER MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI THIS AFTERNOON AND
MONDAY...

THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY
OVER THE MID SOUTH HAS RESULTED IN ANOTHER DAY OF UNCOMFORTABLY HOT
WEATHER.  AT MID AFTERNOON...TEMPERATURES HAD WARMED INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 90S STATEWIDE.  THE HUMIDITIES HAVE REMAINED HIGH ENOUGH TO
PRODUCE A HEAT INDEX BETWEEN 105 AND 110 OVER MUCH OF THE STATE.

PEOPLE SHOULD AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS OF UNNECESSARY AND STRESSFUL
OUTDOOR ACTIVITY.  IF POSSIBLE...WAIT UNTIL A COOLER TIME OF THE DAY.

LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED MONDAY.  IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HEAT
INDEX WILL AGAIN RISE TO AROUND 110 DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON.

A LONG RANGE LOOK INTO THE WEEK SHOWS SOME HOPE.  THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH
WILL BE BREAKING DOWN AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.  THIS MAY MEAN A
RETURN TO LESS OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
