How hot will it get today? Heat advisories cover all of Alabama

Alabama faces yet another day of heat advisories, but it won’t be quite as hot as Tuesday, according to forecasters.

High temperatures today will still be hot, no doubt, but they could end up being a degree or two lower than on Tuesday, when many areas saw the upper 90s for highs.

However, combine today’s expected temperatures with humidity levels and it could feel hotter, 100 degrees or higher, according to forecasters.

Tuesday saw Alabama highs in the upper 90s in many areas.

At least one observation station, at the Dothan Regional Airport, hit 100 degrees on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Here are some of Tuesday’s high temperatures, according to weather service data:

  • Anniston: 96 degrees
  • Birmingham: 98 degrees
  • Huntsville: 99 degrees
  • Mobile: 97 degrees
  • Montgomery: 98 degrees
  • Muscle Shoals: 98 degrees
  • Troy: 97 degrees
  • Tuscaloosa: 98 degrees

Most temperatures on Tuesday were at least 5 degrees above average for this time of year.

Rain chances will be a bit higher on Wednesday, with 50-60 percent chances for most of central and south Alabama and slightly lower chances for north Alabama.
