DISCUSSION
LIGHT SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN THE LOW-LEVELS WILL DRAW AN
INCREASINGLY WARM/MOIST AIRMASS NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE TN VALLEY
FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY, WITH MINRH VALUES IN 50-55%
RANGE. ALTHOUGH A FEW SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS PARTS OF THE
REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING, A GREATER CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS LIKELY TO MATERIALIZE ACROSS NORTHWEST AL
TOMORROW AFTERNOON. ON SUNDAY NIGHT, A COLD FRONT WILL DROP
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH NORTHERN AL, WITH CHANCES FOR WETTING
RAINFALL RISING INTO THE 25-45% RANGE. GUSTY NORTH-NORTHEAST WINDS

THE FRONT, WITH MINRH VALUES FALLING INTO THE 40-45% RANGE
MONDAY. SMOKE DISPERSION INDICES WILL BE FAIR TOMORROW, BUT WILL
IMPROVE TO GOOD ON MONDAY AS TRANSPORT WINDS INCREASE TO 15-20
MPH. IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST, WE EXPECT A RETURN
TO DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. AFTERNOON RH
VALUES WILL BE IN THE 30-40% RANGE MOST DAYS, BEFORE GRADUALLY
RISING ON FRIDAY/SATURDAY.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: CONDITIONS WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MIST/FOG BEGINNING LATE THIS
EVENING AND CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THE FOG COULD
BE WIDESPREAD AND LOCALLY DENSE IN SOME LOCATIONS.
