Gulf Coast Heat Wave Spurs Storms in Alabama and South Florida

A hot and humid spell is moving across the U.S. Gulf Coast, bringing high temperatures and scattered thunderstorms. In Alabama’s Gulf Coast region, daytime highs are expected to reach the low‑to‑mid 90s with heat index values up to 105°F, accompanied by periodic showers and possible stronger storms. A back‑door cold front is forecast to bring a cooldown later in the week.

South Florida will experience similar conditions, with lows in the low 90s on the mainland and upper 80s in the Keys. The forecast calls for periods of showers and storms, especially along the East Coast metro area, with heavy rain possible through Thursday. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and be prepared for sudden storm activity.

Both regions will see a mix of sunny intervals and cloud cover, with the potential for brief rainwaves before a cooler period arrives later in the week.
