BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Summer 2023 has been hot. But, there are signs that it is about to get hotter as a ridge of high pressure builds over the country. Some of the hottest temperatures of the year are possible Wednesday through Saturday (Aug 23-26). High temperatures north of I-10 could reach or exceed 105 degrees multiple days in a row. Closer to the coast, temperatures are expected to be near 100 degrees – possibly hotter. Gulfport-Biloxi could make a run for record most 100 degree days in a single year.
