More heat advisories for south Alabama on Tuesday

Another day of sweltering heat is in the forecast for south Alabama on Tuesday, and heat advisories will be in effect across the region.

The National Weather Service is forecasting highs to reach the mid- to upper 90s again across south Alabama, and those temperatures combined with high dewpoints could make it feel much hotter.

Those in north Alabama will get a break of sorts, with highs expected to “only” reach the 80s on Tuesday, according to forecasters.

More of that slightly cooler air will filter southward on Wednesday to affect more of the state.
