A hot week — even for July — is in the forecast for Alabama.

There are no heat advisories in effect for the state, however. That’s because a summertime front has pulled some slightly drier air into parts of the state, according to the National Weather Service.

That drier air will help keep humidity levels a bit lower, and that will keep the heat index, or “feels like” temperature, below heat advisory levels.

But it will still be hot this week. Highs today are forecast to reach the mid- to upper 90s across the state, and that will be the story for Tuesday and Wednesday as well.

Also watch for humidity levels to creep back up as the week wears on, which could lead to more heat advisories in parts of Alabama.

Wednesday or Thursday could be the hottest days of the week, depending on where you are in Alabama, with high temperatures possibly reaching the triple digits in some spots, according to the weather service.

But this won’t last forever. The weather service said the heat ridge should back off starting on Friday and “cooler” temperatures will be the story over the weekend.

Here’s a look at the forecast for the next few days:

TUESDAY

WEDNESDAY

THURSDAY

FRIDAY

SATURDAY

What about for the rest of July? There could be some good news for those who aren’t fans of the heat.

The six- to 10-day temperature outlook from NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, for July 22-26, shows that northern Alabama could experience near-average or possibly even below-average (for July) temperatures for the latter part of the month:

Southern Alabama, however, could still be stuck with slightly higher chances of above-average temperatures.
