The last day of July will be typical for Alabama — hot and steamy.

However, the combination of heat and humidity is expected to be high enough to warrant heat advisories for the entire state.

Air temperatures on Wednesday are expected to reach the mid- to upper 90s statewide today:

Humidity levels will also be high, so high that the heat index, or “feels like” temperature, could go as high as 114 degrees in parts of the state this afternoon.

The National Weather Service is forecasting the usual summertime chance for scattered rain and storms, but they are expected to be more isolated than earlier this week.

Some of the storms, if they develop, could be strong, but organized severe weather isn’t expected in Alabama today.

Expect what forecasters call a “rinse and repeat” forecast for Thursday, and heat advisories have already been extended into tomorrow for parts of Alabama.

Here is a look at Wednesday’s heat advisories:

NORTH ALABAMA

* Heat advisory from noon Wednesday until 7 p.m. Thursday for all of north Alabama.

The National Weather Service said the heat index could reach 109 degrees in the region.

CENTRAL ALABAMA

* Heat advisory until 9 p.m. Thursday for all of central Alabama.

The weather service said the heat index could climb as high as 107-109 degrees in that region.

SOUTH ALABAMA

* Heat advisory from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Wednesday for southwest Alabama.

The weather service in Mobile said heat index values up to 112 are expected in that area.

* Heat advisory from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. CDT Wednesday for all of southeast Alabama.

The heat index could climb to 114 in some areas this afternoon.

REST OF THE WEEK

More of the same is expected in Alabama on Thursday. Highs are expected to reach the mid- to upper 90s across most of the state.

Here are Thursday’s forecast high temperatures:

Scattered rain and storms will be possible, but they are expected be be fewer than earlier this week.
