KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 615 AM CDT WED JUN 10 2026

- Heat indices will warm each day, and reach triple digits in many locations by mid to end of the work week, and into the beginning of the weekend.

- High temperatures will climb by the middle of this week, reaching the lower 90s in many locations by today.

- Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible each day, increasing in coverage by Saturday and Sunday.

DISCUSSION

(Wednesday through next Tuesday) Issued at 1054 PM CDT TUE JUN 9 2026

High pressure will remain in control of the area, however there will be a convergence band that develops across east Central Alabama and may result in isolated to scattered showers and storms during the afternoon. This pattern will last through most of Friday.

The high temperature through the end of the work week and beginning of the weekend will easily move into the 90s. With the amount of moisture advected into the area with this southerly flow, heat indices will reach the upper 90s, and by Thursday, reach or exceed 100 degrees for some areas. By Friday and Saturday, many locations could reach heat indices a couple of degrees above 100. Right now, the values are not high enough to reach Advisory criteria, but heat stress will definitely be a concern each day. Low temperatures at night will be in the low to mid 70s in the central and western portions of the state, and that may hinder recovery for people overnight.

For the weekend, low pressure develops to our west and will help generate several shortwaves that will move north of the area. There will be enough lift that scattered convection will be possible each day, particularly the afternoon and early evening. Rain chances will be higher than normal through the weekend. A few storms may be on the stronger side as is typical with a small focus with the summertime heat. By Monday, the low pressure will move through the Ohio Valley and swing a cold front through the area.

FIRE WEATHER

Small chances of rain through Thursday. Elevated chances for showers and thunderstorms are expected to return Friday and continue through the weekend. However, MinRH values will remain above 40% into next weekend. Given daily rain chances and high MinRH values, fire weather concerns remain low at this time.
