An even-for-June stretch of hot temperatures is in the forecast for Alabama.

Temperatures are expected to climb over the next few days and could be near 100 degrees in parts of the state by the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

According to weather service forecasts the hottest day could end up being Saturday, when many locations in south Alabama will be flirting with 100 degrees.

Highs today (Wednesday) will top out in the 80s and 90s statewide. Some of the “cooler” spots in north Alabama will be in the low 80s, with low to mid-90s possible for south Alabama:

Temperatures will go up a degree or two on Thursday, with nearly all the state ending up in the 90s:

The rising temperature trend could continue on Friday, with mid-90s expected in many areas:

Sunday is expected to be hot, but not quite as hot as Saturday. Here is the forecast for Sunday:

Looking further into the future, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center is forecasting a good probability of above-average temperatures for Alabama, especially north Alabama in mid-June:
