More heat advisories for Alabama: How hot will it get?

More heat advisories will be in effect for most of Alabama on Tuesday.

The National Weather Service said heat and humidity could combine to make it feel as hot as 108 degrees in parts of the state this afternoon.

Air temperatures are expected to peak in the mid-90s for most of the state today. Here are the forecast highs for Tuesday:

Forecasters said there will be higher chances for rain and storms to develop this afternoon, and a few could be strong to severe with frequent lightning and heavy rain.

Here are today’s heat advisories:

NORTH ALABAMA

* Heat advisory from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. Tuesday for Lauderdale, Colbert, Franklin, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Morgan and Cullman counties.

The weather service in Huntsville said the heat index could rise as high as 107 in those areas.

CENTRAL ALABAMA

* Heat advisory from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. Tuesday for Marion, Lamar, Fayette, Winston, Walker, Pickens, Tuscaloosa, Jefferson, Shelby, Bibb, Chilton, Coosa, Blount, St. Clair, Talladega, Sumter, Greene, Hale, Perry, Marengo, Dallas, Autauga, Lowndes, Elmore, Montgomery, Macon, Bullock, Russell, Pike and Barbour counties.

The weather service in Birmingham said heat index values up to 108 are expected in those areas this afternoon.

The weather service in Mobile said heat index values up to 108 are expected.

WEDNESDAY ONWARD

Another hot day is expected on Wednesday, with high temperatures again expected to climb well into the 90s. More heat advisories will be likely for much of the state, according to the weather service.

However a break, of sorts, will be possible starting on Thursday as a front works its way southward in the state.

The front will bring increased chances for rain and storms, according to the weather service.

It is expected to lose steam and stall out somewhere over central or south Alabama, leading to increased rain chances lingering through the rest of the week.

And slightly lower temperatures.

Highs on Thursday are expected to stay in the 80s in north Alabama, and some of those slightly lower numbers could make it southward on Friday and into the weekend.

Here is the forecast for Thursday:

By Friday most of the state will only see highs “only” in the 80s:

Similar temperatures are expected to stick around through the weekend, according to weather service forecasts.

Those slightly cooler temperatures could hang around into next week. The updated six- to 10-day temperature outlook from NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center continues to show a slightly higher probability of below-average (for July) temperatures for part of Alabama through next week:
