Central Alabama is experiencing a surge of summer heat as a strong ridge of high pressure builds over the Southeast, according to WBRC.
Temperatures on Sunday have already climbed into the low-to-mid 90s, with heat index values exceeding 100°F (37.8°C) in some areas.

Impact & Risks

The heatwave could lead to heat-related illnesses, particularly for those spending extended periods outdoors. Heat index values above 100°F (37.8°C) will make conditions feel even hotter. Residents are advised to take precautions to avoid heat exhaustion or heatstroke. The lack of significant rain increases the risk of dry conditions, which could impact agriculture and water resources in the region.
