Discussion
Not much change in the forecast around here for the next few days with strong upper-level ridging locked in place across the southern tier of states. As a result, temperatures will soar again today across northern Alabama with 100 degrees on the table for afternoon highs. Scattered thunderstorms are possible each of the next few days to go along with the heat and they will tend to be focused on the afternoon and evening hours. The high pressure ridge begins to retrograde to the west later this weekend and it’ll likely become less hot with afternoon temperatures closer to 90 degrees rather than the century mark.
