The Heat Train Arrives Today & the Ride May Last Until Next Weekend

If you loved yesterday’s weather, you will probably like today’s weather. With high pressure in place, we’ll continue to have mainly sunny skies and lower humidity, but that will allow the daytime highs to reach the lower to mid 90s across the area.

And pretty much the same story on Monday, as we’ll remain dry with mainly sunny skies. It will be a little hotter with highs ranging from the lower 90s to the upper 90s.

We stay sunny and very hot on Tuesday as the heat bubble continues to strengthen over the southeast. Highs will reach the mid to upper 90s with some locations reaching or crossing over the 100-degree-mark.

On Wednesday, the high will start to move off of the east coast, and that will start to change our flow across Alabama from out of the southeast. Humidity levels will start to rise, but at this point, we’ll remain dry. Highs will range between 96 and 103 degrees, with the hottest temperatures occurring north of the Tennessee River.

Moisture levels return enough for the small chance of a few isolated showers and storms on Thursday afternoon. However, most locations will stay dry and hot. We’ll have to watch the heat as advisories may need to be issued. Heat index values could reach as high as 105 degrees or higher. Highs will range from 96 to 102 degrees.

Humidity continues to increase on Friday, which will allow our rain chances to slightly rise. A few scattered afternoon showers and storms will be possible across the area. Highs will once again be very hot, reaching the mid to upper 90s with a few locations hitting 100 degrees.

And at the end of the forecast period on Saturday, the weather will closely match what we’ll see on Friday. Partly to mostly sunny with a chance of a few scattered afternoon showers and storms. It will be slightly cooler, but with the higher humidity, it won’t feel that way. Highs in the lower to mid 90s.

Now, taking a look at the tropics… All is quiet for now across the North Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea, and no new tropical activity is expected to form within the next seven days.
