Say goodbye to the great weather! Temperatures return to the mid-90s with humidity levels increasing, causing heat index values to increase. Tuesday will have the lowest temps for the rest of the week as we reach the upper-90s to 100 degrees.
Rain chances are low to zero across the state Tuesday. The only region with a slight chance of rain is northern Alabama.
A new disturbance has formed in the Atlantic Ocean that we’ll be watching. As seen on the map, this disturbance is much closer to the Gulf of Mexico than the other systems we’ve monitored. Thankfully, there is only a 20 percent chance of formation within the seven days.
