Tuesday afternoon looks partly cloudy with isolated showers or storms. Despite limited rain coverage, Tuesday's heat remains reasonable with high temperatures in the low 90s, and peak heat indices less than 100°. Rain fades away after sunset Tuesday evening. The rest of Tuesday night looks partly cloudy to mostly clear with lows in the low 70s.

Wednesday morning was fairly sunny across much of central and south Alabama, though spotty showers formed in a few locations around midday. Elsewhere, the sky was partly to mostly sunny during the early afternoon. Temperatures were already on either side of 90° at midday Wednesday in the dry spots, and may approach the mid-90s during the afternoon. Although, isolated showers/storms may cool some locations down through the early evening.

More rain develops Thursday afternoon, but coverage remains isolated. Otherwise, expect typical summer heat with high temperatures in the low to mid 90s and peak heat indices closer to 100°.

Friday morning was partly to mostly sunny in many locations. There, temperatures were near 90° by midday. Elsewhere, isolated showers and storms formed early and produced locally heavy rain in some locations, including Troy. Additional showers and storms form Friday afternoon, with rain coverage somewhere between isolated and widely scattered through the early evening. Otherwise, expect a partly cloudy sky with high temperatures in the low to mid 90s.

The sky remains partly cloudy outside of showers/storms Monday, with high temperatures in the mid 90s. Meanwhile, heat indices peak generally near or slightly below 100°.

Tuesday afternoon remains very hot with high temperatures in the mid 90s and higher heat indices. Only isolated showers or storms appear possible through Tuesday evening.

A HEAT ADVISORY remains in effect until 9PM Friday 8/14/26 for central Alabama, and on Thursday 8/13/26 for southwest Alabama. Peak heat index values reach or exceed 105° each afternoon.
