Isolated severe storms and high heat index values will both be possible for parts of south Alabama on Saturday, according to forecasters.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has a Level 1 out of 5 risk for severe weather in place across the southern half of the state for today. A Level 1 risk means that isolated severe storms will be possible.

The strongest storms today could have wind gusts capable of taking down trees and powerlines, hail and heavy rain.

Storms are expected to be slow moving, and that could lead to flooding in areas that experience them over and over again.

Rain and storms were moving across parts of the state on Saturday morning along a frontal boundary. That boundary will sink southward today, and that combined with the heat of the day could touch off some strong to severe storms in south Alabama, according to the National Weather Service.

Areas that don’t get storms could heat up to dangerous levels today, and heat advisories will be in effect for the very southernmost part of the state.

Here are the forecast highs for Saturday:

The National Weather Service in Mobile said the heat index, or “feels like” temperature, could climb as high as 112 degrees today in Washington, Escambia, Covington, Mobile and Baldwin counties.

The heat advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Saturday.

Those slightly cooler temperatures that will be felt in northern Alabama today will be experienced in south Alabama as well on Sunday, with highs expected to “only” reach the upper 80s to low 90s, according to the weather service.

Here are Sunday’s forecast highs:

The break will be short-lived, however. Expect temperatures to creep back upward next week.
