Good morning, Murfreesboro.

Middle Tennessee Electric and TVA are urging residents to stay cool amid record heat in Rutherford County—customers are advised to clean HVAC filters, raise thermostats a few degrees, and use ceiling fans to reduce energy costs.

Tennessee’s Back-to-School Tax-Free Weekend continues until 11:59 p.m. today; shoppers can buy clothing, school-and-art supplies, and computers tax-free while items like jewelry and graduation gowns remain taxable.

Murfreesboro’s Transportation Department is using real-time data to update a guide on lane closures and traffic shifts from today through August 2—helping drivers avoid delays on roads under construction.

The guide details projects including improvements on Joe B Jackson Pkwy, roadway widening, Google Fiber installations, and electric work—each with traffic controls in place.

AAA warns Rutherford County drivers to protect passengers, pets, and vehicles as extreme heat may quickly turn parked cars unsafe—checking cooling systems and tires is advised.

The agency stresses that leaving children or pets in hot cars even briefly can lead to life-threatening conditions.
