car died on highway!

going to work this morning, i got halfway there and realized i should prob. turn my headlights on. i did and the car instantly died! i had nothin. after work i got it jumped started,it fired right up, made it almost to the house when i hit the brakes, it died again! im assuming its the alternater but just wanted to be sure. oh yeah after work i checked my battery and touched the negative side and it was pretty warm if that says anything?

Really sounds like a bad alt. wouldnt hurt to replace the battery if its a bit old too.
