First Ever Heat Advisory Issued for Portions of Alaska
Here is something you have never seen before…A Heat Advisory in Alaska. This is the first ever heat advisory issued by the National Weather Service Office in Fairbanks, Alaska.
RADAR CHECK: The afternoon thunderstorm lottery is underway across Alabama this afternoon; showers and storms have formed in the hot, humid airmass in random places… generally drifting westward. Away from the showers, temperatures are in the 91-95 degree range with a partly sunny sky. Scattered storms end tonight after sunset.
RADAR CHECK: Again today we have random, scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama on a hot, humid Independence Day. The more concentrated showers are over the southwest counties of the state at mid-afternoon… away from the summer rain temperatures are mostly in the low 90s. The average high for July 4 in Birmingham is 90. Scattered showers and storms end tonight after sunset.
We have a surface boundary set up across the northwestern parts of the state that has become a mechanism to help showers and thunderstorm to develop easier with the heating of the day across the extreme northern and northwestern parts of Central Alabama and up into a good bit of North Alabama.
Temperatures across the advised area this afternoon will range from the middle to upper 90s and on Thursday will be in the middle 90s. Look for heat indices to reach and exceed 105 degrees across the advisory area.
Hot conditions across much of Central Alabama on Wednesday.
We have mostly clear skies across Central Alabama as we are approaching the midday hour, but we do have a few isolated showers popping up over portions of Pike County and down over the southern parts of the state.
The combination of heat and high humidity levels will produce dangerous heat levels this afternoon.
We have the potential for a few stronger to severe storms today, but much of the area will be dry on Sunday.
NWS Birmingham has issued a HEAT ADVISORY for Autauga, Barbour, Bibb, Bullock, Chilton, Dallas, Elmore, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Lamar, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Montgomery, Perry, Pickens, Pike, Russell, Sumter, and Tuscaloosa counties until 7:00 pm this evening.
