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.
Patchy morning fog, then partly to mostly cloudy today with isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. Light wind, except gusty in thunderstorms.
