.DISCUSSION...
A warm/moist airmass remains in place across northern AL this
morning, to the southeast of a slow-moving cold front. A broad
region of prefrontal showers and thunderstorms will likely spread
southeastward across the region later this morning, bringing
wetting rainfall to most locations. Additional thunderstorms may
redevelop along the actual cold front as it pushes southeastward
this afternoon and evening, but coverage is a bit more uncertain.
A slightly drier airmass will spread southeastward through the TN
Valley in the wake of the front on Saturday, with afternoon
temperatures in the lower 90s supporting MinRH values in the
35-45% range. Smoke dispersion will be fair today due to transport
winds of 5-10 MPH and mixing heights of 3500-4000 ft, but
conditions will improve to generally good on Saturday. In the
extended period, we expect the frontal boundary to retreat
northward on Sunday afternoon/evening, bringing a warm/moist
airmass to the region once again early next week. This will result
in daily chances for showers and thunderstorms (most numerous
during the afternoon/evening hours).
Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy haze and fog will be
possible for much of the region early this morning, due in part
to lingering smoke from fireworks yesterday evening. A lower
coverage of fog will be possible (mainly in valleys and near large
water sources) Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
