In some parts of Alabama, this is one of our hotter days so far.

Late this afternoon there were scattered showers and thunderstorms (actually widely spaced) over the south half of the state and also some in the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama. The north Alabama storms were moving east and the one in South Alabama toward the west and northwest.

Later this evening, we will post a list of high temperatures around the state today including those from official reporting stations and also the wide network of 33/40 Skywatchers.
Here is a sample of temperatures at 4 o’clock this afternoon:

101 Huntsville, heat index 106
99 Gadsden and Decatur
102 Tuscaloosa, heat index 105
101 Birmingham, heat index 102
98 Maxwell AFB, Montgomery, heat index 105
96 Anniston, heat index 102 (Anniston still has not reached 100 this month)
79 Dothan, heavy rain (tropical moisture at work)
