FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR ALABAMA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
133 PM CDT THU SEP 3 2026
DISCUSSION
AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN CENTERED TO THE
NORTHEAST OF THE TN VALLEY TODAY AND TONIGHT, BUT IS EXPECTED TO
WEAKEN AND BECOME REPOSITIONED TO OUR WEST ON FRIDAY
NIGHT/SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH THE GENERAL PRESENCE OF THE RIDGE WILL
PROVIDE A CONTINUATION OF HOT WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION, A LOW-
LEVEL CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY LIFTING NORTHWARD MAY INITIATE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS TODAY. WITH THIS FEATURE
EXPECTED TO BE SITUATED TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA
TOMORROW, CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL BE A BIT LOWER,
BUT SHOULD INCREASE ONCE AGAIN ON SATURDAY. DUE TO EFFICIENT
DIURNAL MIXING, AFTERNOON RH VALUES WILL LARGELY BE IN THE 40-45%
RANGE (BUT MAY FALL INTO THE 35-40% RANGE IN SOME LOCATIONS).
MIXING HEIGHTS OF 7000-9000 FT AND TRANSPORT WINDS OF 5-10 MPH
WILL RESULT IN GENERALLY GOOD SMOKE DISPERSION BOTH TOMORROW AND
SATURDAY.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: BRIEF DEVELOPMENT OF PATCHY
MIST/FOG MAY OCCUR EACH OF THE NEXT FEW MORNINGS (PRIMARILY IN
LOCATIONS THAT EXPERIENCE WETTING RAINFALL).
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
