The heat will be across Alabama, with triple-digit highs in the forecast later this week.

The combination of heat and humidity will build through the week, with some of the hottest temperatures expected on Thursday and Friday, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service.

High temperatures today (Monday) are expected to top out in the low to mid-90s statewide, with west and southwest Alabama expected to be the hottest.

Then add in the humidity, and the “feels like” temperature will climb to 100 degrees or higher.
