Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Alabama

.DISCUSSION...

High pressure at the surface and aloft will remain in place
across the TN Valley from today-Sunday. Abundant sunshine
throughout the late morning hours will allow for the development
of a well-mixed boundary layer each afternoon, with dewpoints
expected to fall as temperatures rise into the m-u 90s (yielding
MinRH of 35-45%). A few high-based showers and thunderstorms may
develop during the peak of the diurnal warming cycle both today
and Sunday , but chances for wetting rainfall at any single
location will remain quite low. Smoke dispersion indices will
remain in the fair category this weekend, due largely to transport
winds less than 5 MPH. In the extended period, a return to light
SSW flow on Monday will result in rising dewpoints and higher
MinRH values early next week. The coverage of afternoon/evening
showers and storms will also begin to increase on Monday and
should peak on Wednesday/Thursday as a slow-moving cold front
spreads southeastward into the region before stalling.

Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy mist/fog will be
possible during the early morning hours from this morning through
Tuesday morning.

Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
