The Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued for the Mid-South was canceled early, according to weather officials. The primary threat for severe weather is now expected to stay north and east of the region.
Meteorologists say the area is likely to see calmer conditions as the threat diminishes. Attention is shifting to a heatwave forecast, with oppressive temperatures expected to persist through much of next week.
Residents are advised to stay hydrated and take precautions against the heat as the region prepares for the upcoming weather pattern.
