Alabama Heat Wave Still Gripping State | Birmingham News

Alabama’s sweltering heat wave shows no signs of breaking, with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 90s across the state—far above September norms. Tuscaloosa narrowly missed a new record yesterday at 101°F, and today’s forecast high is still dangerously close at 99°F. A heat advisory covers parts of north Alabama from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., where humidity will make it feel like 100°F or hotter. With little to no rain in sight (except a slim chance along the coast), this oppressive stretch could last through Sunday. While a slight cooldown may arrive next week as high pressure weakens, for now, staying hydrated and avoiding afternoon heat is critical.
