MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) – The late summer heat wave will continue through the holiday weekend in Alabama. Afternoon temperatures will be between 95 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Although it will be hot, humidity will be bearable — not low, but certainly not as high as the summer months. And what’s the chance of rain? It will remain scattered and isolated throughout the weekend.
The daily storm chance is now around 20% through Thursday, then gradually increases to 30% this weekend and nearly 40% on Labor Day. You know how it goes! It won’t rain everywhere, and it won’t rain all day, but a few lucky spots will get a brief shower or storm.
Outside temperatures this morning are 21 degrees under clear skies. Afternoon highs will be above 35 degrees under mostly to partly cloudy skies. The wind will be blowing from the east at around 8 km/h, easing during the evening. Showers or thunderstorms are possible today, but this will be very unsettled. Lows will be 21 to below 25 degrees under clear skies.

In the tropics, the National Hurricane Center has marked two areas in the Atlantic as possible areas of development. Currently, one area has only a 20 percent chance of development in the next 7 days, while the other area has a 10 percent chance of development in the next 2 to 7 days. We will be watching this closely as we approach the statistical peak of hurricane season, which will be September 10th.
