Southern Soaker to Summer Sizzler: Alabama’s Week of Heat & Storms
From weekend downpours to midweek scorchers—Alabama’s forecast is about to flip fast.
Heat index values are ranging from 102°-108° across the state. Anything over 105° is in the danger range for North and Central Alabama, for that reason a Heat Advisory has been issued for portions of Alabama.
Temperatures were in the mid 80s to the lower 90s across the state, with Andalusia coming in as the hot spot at 92, while Eufaula and Cullman were the cool spots at 84. Birmingham was at 86.
Although winds have diminished, dangerous surf and rip currents will continue along much of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic coasts from northeast Florida to the Outer Banks through at least Monday.
Tropical Storm Chantal is currently located near latitude 31.1 North and longitude 78.7 West, approximately 135 miles south-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, and about 220 miles south-southwest of Wilmington, North Carolina.
