Alabama Skies: Friday is going to be even hotter

Published 9:31 pm Thursday, July 27, 2023

Our temperatures are rising even more as humidity levels increase. It won’t take long to become extremely dangerous for anyone working outdoors Friday, or any day through the weekend.

We’ll remain mostly dry, but there is a chance for an isolated shower or thunderstorm across most of the state. Winds will be calm to slightly breezy so we really won’t get much of a break from any pleasant breeze or rain.

We still have that one pesky disturbance in the Atlantic we’ve been watching. Development chances remain low over the next several days; however, it won’t weaken and dissipate like the other two systems did earlier in the week.

North Alabama

Sunny and dangerously hot with a high of 97 and a heat index of 104. Partly cloudy Friday night with a low of 74.

Central Alabama

A slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon; otherwise, mostly sunny with a high near 97 and a heat index of 105. An isolated shower possible in the evening, then becoming mostly cloudy with a low of 75.

South Alabama

Partly sunny with an isolated shower or thunderstorm possible. High near 95. An isolated shower or thunderstorm possible in the evening, then becoming partly cloudy. Low of 74.

Gulf Coast

Partly sunny with an isolated shower or thunderstorm possible. High of 94. Mostly clear Friday night with a low of 74.
