There is a level 1 out of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms for the southwest portion of the state this afternoon and evening. In central Alabama, this includes areas such as Selma, Livingston, Carrollton, Greensboro, and surrounding communities. The primary threat is damaging wind gusts.

Afternoon heat index values will climb above 100 degrees across central Alabama by this weekend. The combination of heat and humidity will cause heat stress for those without adequate cooling and hydration. Practice heat safety if spending time outdoors. Do not leave pets or children unattended in vehicles. Ensure your vehicles are locked so that a child does not gain access and become trapped. Visit heat.gov/heat-safety/ for tips.

Partly cloudy today with some showers and thunderstorms arriving to parts of west Alabama during the afternoon. High temperatures in the mid to upper 80s with a light wind.

Cloudiness tonight with some evening showers and thunderstorms, primarily south of Interstate 20. Low temperatures in the mid to upper 60s with a calm to light wind.

Partly cloudy on Thursday with isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms for central Alabama. High temperatures near 90 with a light wind.
