Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Alabama

.DISCUSSION...
A moderately strong SSE flow regime will persist across northern
AL for the remainder of the day and overnight, providing periods
of low stratus clouds. However, as morning clouds erode tomorrow,
a few showers and thunderstorms may develop across mainly the
southwestern portion of the forecast area. Low probabilities for
convection will continue north of the TN River on Wednesday night,
with a greater spatial coverage of afternoon thunderstorms
expected on Thursday. Overall probabilities for wetting rain in
the short term period will be rather low, and excessive heat
concerns will return, with a Heat Advisory in effect beginning at
1 PM CDT Wednesday. Smoke dispersion will be in the generally good
range, with mixing heights of 5000-6000 ft and transport winds of
5-10 MPH. In the extended period, chances for wetting rain will
increase substantially on Friday/Friday night, with a fairly
widespread coverage of showers and storms anticipated ahead of an
approaching cold front. Although the front may drift south of the
area on Saturday night-Sunday, it will return northward early next
week bringing a return to mainly afternoon convection on
Monday/Tuesday.
Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy fog will be possible
on Thursday and Friday mornings (primarily in locations that
experience wetting rainfall).
Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
