First Alert Weather: More thunderstorms tomorrow with extreme heat

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Sunday is another First Alert Weather Day for extreme heat. Expect highs in the upper 90s with the heat index between 105 and 110. Rain and thunderstorm chances will climb tomorrow and through early next week as the high pressure weakens across the area.

Expect a 50% rain and storm chance during the afternoon and evening. The storms will not be as strong as today, but some storms could produce gusty winds, lightning, and small hail.

There will be a better coverage of rain Monday and on the 4th of July. There will be enough instability for some thunderstorms to produce gusty winds. Rain chances will remain elevated for much of next week. Right now it appears Wednesday will be our best chance for rain and storms on the extended forecast.

Expect updates tonight on WBRC Fox6 News.
