Afternoon heat index values will climb above 100 degrees across central Alabama by this weekend. The combination of heat and humidity will cause heat stress for those without adequate cooling and hydration. Practice heat safety if spending time outdoors. Do not leave pets or children unattended in vehicles. Ensure your vehicles are locked so that a child does not gain access and become trapped. Visit heat.gov/heat-safety/ for tips.
Partly to mostly cloudy with isolated showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the northeast. High temperatures in the low to mid 90s. Light southwest winds.
