Heat advisories will be in effect on Sunday for a large part of the state, and forecasters expect more advisories to be issued for Monday through possibly Wednesday. The combination of air temperatures and Alabama humidity will make it feel hotter, and some spots could see the heat index climb above 110 degrees this week, according to forecasters. North Alabama has a 20-30 percent chance for rain, but the rest of Alabama will have less than a 20 percent chance of seeing any showers. The weather service expects temperatures to moderate some from Thursday through the weekend, with scattered showers and storms in the forecast each day until at least Saturday. The heat index could range from 103-107 degrees in those counties today, the National Weather Weather Service in Huntsville said in its Sunday forecast discussion. It’s possible the heat could back off a few degrees across Alabama on Wednesday, the weather service said.

More heat advisories for Alabama today: Is cooler weather on the way?
Nearly all of west Alabama will again be under heat advisories on Wednesday. The National Weather Service expects the heat index, (which combines the effects of heat and humidity) to climb as high as 109 degrees in parts of the state this afternoon. Eastern Alabama will get to experience more typical late July temperatures, which could even stay in the 80s in some areas. Temperatures are expected to come down a bit for the entire state on Thursday, with highs still in the 90s but the lower 90s. But long-range forecasts suggests another heat wave will be coming to Alabama next week, and the mercury will rise again into the mid-90s for many areas starting on Monday. The rain will be associated with a tropical disturbance moving south of the area we do not expect much outside of increased rain! pic.twitter.com/fkVeIbHCXz — NWS Mobile (@NWSMobile) July 23, 2025.

Alabama’s hottest temperatures of 2025 expected next week
A long-duration heat wave will be possible next week in Alabama. Tuesday could be its peak. High temperatures could approach or possibly even exceed 100 degrees in some areas.

But there is hope for some relief, with the Climate Prediction Center’s six- to 10-day temperature outlook forecasting a 60-70 percent chance of warmer-than-average weather for Alabama through Aug. 3. The outlook shows that north Alabama could even have a shot for some below-average temperatures.Other parts of the state could be near-average, and south Alabama has slightly raised odds of continued above-average Temperatures.
