Heat Wave and Scattered Storms Forecast for Alabama and Indiana

In Alabama, forecasters expect a stagnant weather pattern to persist through the weekend, with low overall rain chances but isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures are projected to stay in the lower to mid‑90°F range.

In central Indiana, a warm and humid air mass will dominate the next week. Highs will reach the upper 80s to low 90s, with heat indices in the low‑mid 90s. Spotty afternoon storms are possible, while most areas remain dry. Elevated wildfire smoke is expected to create hazy skies.

Both regions should prepare for heat and occasional storm activity, with the potential for strong gusts and lightning in Indiana as the pattern shifts later in the week.
