Extra hot temperatures hang on one more day for many

Parts of Alabama will have to deal with one more day of above-average temperatures for Father’s Day, according to forecasters.

Southwest Alabama may get some relief, however, thanks to increased chances for rain.

The rest of the state will not be so lucky. The National Weather Service is forecasting high temperatures to again peak in the mid- to upper 90s in Alabama on Sunday (today’s forecast highs are at the top of this post).

There will also be increased chances for rain and storms in the state, though not everyone will see rain. Showers and storms will be most likely in the afternoon and evening hours.

Today’s high temperatures may be a degree or two “cooler” than they were on Saturday, according to the weather service. No high temperature records were broken on Saturday, but some areas came close.

Here are some high temperatures from around the state from Saturday:

* Anniston: 96 (record 99)

* Birmingham: 97 (record 98)

* Dothan: 97 (record 101)

* Huntsville: 96 (record 101)

* Mobile: 96 (record 101)

* Montgomery: 97 (record 100)

* Muscle Shoals: 98 (record 101)

* Troy: 96 (record 103)

* Tuscaloosa: 97 (record 102)

After today temperatures will back off some for all of Alabama. Highs on Monday are forecast to still be in the 90s, but the low 90s. Some spots may even stay in the 80s. There will also be increased chances for rain statewide.

Here’s the forecast for Monday:

Temperatures are expected to stay in the upper 80s to low 90s for the rest of the work week, according to weather service forecasts.

There is no severe weather in the forecast for Alabama for the next seven days, but as always, sometimes those summer pulse-type thunderstorms can briefly become severe.
