Overview

  • Heat advisories remain in effect across Alabama on Thursday, with north Alabama facing heat index readings up to 109°F this afternoon.
  • Earlier this week, many areas saw highs in the upper 90s, and Dothan Regional Airport recorded 100°F on Tuesday as humidity pushed apparent temperatures above 110°F.
  • Central and south Alabama experienced 50–60% rain chances Wednesday, and scattered showers are expected to continue through Thursday evening.
  • A frontal system combined with an Appalachian back-door cold front is forecast to drop Friday’s highs to the mid-80s in the north and low-90s in the south.
  • Sunday may bring the greatest relief, with parts of east Alabama dipping into the 70s and peak rain probabilities before temperatures rebound early next week.
