Several Alabama cities had record highs on Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

And more records could fall over the next several days, with temperatures near 90 degrees in the forecast for many parts of the state.

Alabama temperatures on Tuesday were at least 10 degrees or more above the average, according to weather service data.

Here are Tuesday’s records:

• Anniston tied its record high of 87 degrees, which was last reached in 1978.
• Birmingham reached 87 degrees, breaking the record of 86 degrees in 2012.
• Montgomery hit 89 degrees, breaking its record of 88 degrees from 2006.
• Muscle Shoals’ high of 87 degrees broke the record of 86 from 2012.
• Tuscaloosa tied its record high of 88 degrees, last reached in 2006. 

More records could fall in the next three days.

Thursday will again bring high temperatures in the mid- to upper 80s, according to the weather service (Thursday’s forecast is at the top of this post).

More of the same is expected on Friday and Saturday.

A cold front is expected to break the spring heatwave by Sunday, but it could also bring some strong to severe storms to Alabama.

And if that wasn’t enough, the pattern could flip next week and bring below-average temperatures to Alabama.
