Record temperatures in Alabama on Thursday

At least two Alabama cities had record high temperatures on Thursday.

The National Weather Service reported that Birmingham and Huntsville both added to the record books for Nov. 7.

Birmingham's high temperature of 86 degrees broke the record of 85 degrees set in 2022. It was also 18 degrees higher than the average temperature for Nov. 7.

Huntsville had a high temperature of 84 degrees and broke the record of 82 degrees also set in 2022. It was 17 degrees above average for the date.

Other cities didn't break records but were 4-15 degrees above normal for highs. Here are a few high temperatures from Thursday:

* Anniston: 81 degrees, 13 degrees above average

* Dothan: 78 degrees, 4 degrees above average

* Mobile: 80 degrees, 7 degrees above average

* Montgomery: 81 degrees, 8 degrees above average

* Muscle Shoals: 80 degrees, 13 degrees above average

* Troy: 79 degrees, 8 degrees above average

* Tuscaloosa: 83 degrees, 15 degrees above average

It's also been very warm at night, and low temperatures in many places in the state would be the normal high temperatures, according to the weather service:

Lows Thursday night into Friday morning are expected to range from the low to mid-60s in north and central Alabama to the low 70s in south Alabama:

More warm temperatures are expected through the weekend, but possibly not as warm as Thursday's because of higher rain chances for some areas and an expected cold front this weekend.

However, a longer-range outlook points to a good probability of more above-average temperatures into next week. Below is the six- to 10-day temperature outlook from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center:

The CPC is forecasting a 60-70 percent probability of above-average temperatures through Nov. 17.
