Good afternoon, Jackson — Emily here. As we move through the afternoon in Jackson, expect mostly sunny skies with temperatures reaching up to 98 degrees. A light breeze from the west-southwest at about 5 mph will keep things a bit more comfortable, although heat index values may soar as high as 110.
