Northern and central Alabama are experiencing a mix of heat and scattered thunderstorms to start the week, according to WBRC.
High temperatures are expected to reach the lower to mid-90s °F (32-35 °C) on Tuesday, with heat index values climbing to 105 °F (40.5 °C) before storms develop.

Impact & Risks

The combination of high temperatures and humidity will create dangerous heat index levels, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses. Scattered thunderstorms on Tuesday and Wednesday could bring heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, and gusty winds, with isolated risks of damaging winds and flash flooding. The extreme heat expected later in the week could pose additional health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.
