Upper 90s again? Hereâs how hot it could get this week
Get ready for full-force Alabama summertime heat.
The National Weather Service is forecasting high temperatures to climb into the mid- to upper 90s this week, which could lead to more heat advisories for parts of the state before it’s over.
Heat advisories were already in effect on Sunday for a few southwest Alabama counties, where the heat index, or “feels like” temperature, could go as high as 110 this afternoon, according to forecasters.
High temperatures today are forecast to climb into the low to mid-90s in Alabama. Humidity levels will be high as well, which could lead to it feeling a lot hotter than just the air temperature.
Sunday’s heat advisory will be in effect for Mobile, Baldwin and Washington counties until 7 p.m., according to the weather service in Mobile. The heat index could reach as high as 110 in those areas this afternoon.
Look for the hottest days to be Monday through Thursday. But next weekend there is a chance that the pattern could shift and lead to higher rain chances and slightly cooler temperatures.
Here are the forecast highs for the next few days across Alabama:
