Birmingham, AL — With heat indices expected to soar between 100°F and 105°F across much of Alabama, the National Weather Service has issued a heat risk advisory for Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures in the low to mid-90s, combined with high humidity, will create dangerously uncomfortable conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, the highest risks for extreme heat will be felt across central and southern Alabama, including Birmingham, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa. These cities could experience temperatures near 95°F, while heat indices will push well into the triple digits. The heat is expected to intensify on Tuesday, making outdoor activities even more hazardous.
Key areas at risk include major highways like I-20, I-65, and I-85, where motorists should be cautious of heat-related stress, especially during peak afternoon hours. The heat will be particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and those without access to proper cooling or hydration.
Authorities advise limiting outdoor exposure, drinking plenty of water, and ensuring air conditioning is functioning. Alabama residents are urged to stay updated on heat advisories, as the prolonged high temperatures could lead to power outages or other service disruptions.
This heat risk will persist through Tuesday, with additional warnings possible if conditions worsen. Stay prepared and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during peak heat hours.
