SUMMARY: I'm David Owens with the Honey Hole Insider. It's hot out, so ensure you have sun protection, but the fish are still biting. For summertime bass fishing, start with topwater early, then switch to deep crankbaits. Using specialized equipment like a Revo winch with a Veritos winch rod optimizes your experience. Good crankbaits include the Berkeley Dredger and Berkeley Dime. Crappie fishing is fair to good in shallow flats due to low deep-water oxygen. Brim and catfishing are also productive. Visit Honey Hole for all your fishing gear needs this summer. Have a great day!

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chase Ward reports damp conditions with temperatures and dew points in the mid-70s. Despite being one of the cooler days this week, highs will still reach the low 90s. A stationary front north of I-20 might bring patchy showers to southern Arkansas, while the gulf coast of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi see rainfall. Winds remain calm and northerly, with less breezy conditions. No significant relief from heat is expected as temperatures will climb back up for the weekend, potentially hitting triple digits next week. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms persists through Sunday and Monday.

A frontal boundary will stall over the area today. Winds will shift more northerly which will help in keeping temperatures a tad cooler compared to the past few days. Still expect very warm conditions this afternoon. A patchy shower or t-storm will be possible for areas along and south of the I-20 corridor due to the placement of the front. Things heat back up tomorrow. Hazard heat conditions will last through the weekend. There is still a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms next Sunday through Monday, but there will be little change in temperatures next week. We could be even hotter with temperatures bordering the triple digits. It seems the dawg days of summer are here to stay. Continue to practice heat safety and avoid the peak heating hours of the afternoon.

SUMMARY: Temperatures are staying in the 90s. In the tropics, there are two systems: Invest 94 in the Caribbean and Invest 95 in the Atlantic. Invest 94 is bringing heavy rain to parts of the Yucatan, Belize, and Honduras through Saturday, possibly reaching the Gulf and Mexico by Sunday. Invest 95, with a higher chance of becoming a named storm, may enter the Caribbean by next week, affecting areas like the Lesser Antilles, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. High pressure will steer it westward, but its exact path remains uncertain. Locally, no tropical threats are expected through the 4th of July.
