But there’s good news: Saturday that this could be the last day of advisories for north Alabama, the weather service said.
Daytime heat indices from 105 to 110 degrees are expected, and strong warnings have been issued to practice heat safety and caution.
According to the National Weather Service based here in Memphis, the city had its 8th warmest July on record with an average temperature of 85 degrees.
Scattered thunderstorms will develop by the afternoon hours, with a 50% chance for coverage.
Saturday night and Sunday, the chance of rain increases to 40 percent, according to the weather service. At face value, an area of low pressure would do a couple things for us.
Forecasters said there will be a “decent” chance of rain and storms across the area especially this afternoon.
There is relief in sight – in the form of a tropical disturbance over the northern Gulf.
