Alabama faces a dangerous heat wave with temps expected to be in the triple digits. Just how hot will it get? Here's what we know

President Donald Trump drew on a map of a forecast for Hurricane Dorian in 2019. He did it to indicate the storm would go over Alabama. It didn't.

NEW DAY, OLD FORECAST: Hot, humid summer weather continues across Alabama through the weekend with partly sunny

The Farmers’ Almanac (not to be confused with the Old Farmer’s Almanac) has a fall forecast out, and it suggests Alabama’s future includes a stretch of “pleasant weather — perfect for fall festivals and Halloween preparations” — but not until October.

We have declared Days for Tuesday and Wednesday with more dangerous heat and humidity in the forecast as a ridge of high pressure builds over the Eastern United States. High temperatures in the low to mid 90s combined with the muggy air mass in place will make it easily feel like the triple digits each day.

A heat dome​ is trapping over 90 million Americans in extreme temperatures this week with the National Weather Service​ issuing heat alerts from Nebraska to Florida.

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, September will start off hot and sunny, with storms mid-month during the peak of hurricane season, followed by cooler, sunny days. October brings warm spells early and late in the month, with showers in between. Expect an average high of 79°F in September, dropping to 65°F in October.

A heat advisory will be in effect from 11 a.m. Monday until 9 p.m. Tuesday for the following counties in central Alabama: Fayette, Lamar, Marion, Walker, Winston, Autauga, Bibb, Dallas, Greene, Hale, Lowndes, Marengo, Montgomery, Perry, Pickens, Sumter and Tuscaloosa.
