FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR ALABAMA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
423 AM CST MON JAN 5 2026
DISCUSSION
CALM-LIGHT SSE WINDS (CURRENTLY OBSERVED ACROSS NORTHERN AL) WILL
SHIFT TO SSW AND BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. THIS
TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT AND TUESDAY, AS A RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EASTWARD OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST AND A
DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKS FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS
INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. RAPID RETURN OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO OCCUR BEGINNING THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING, WHICH WILL
TRANSLATE TO FORMATION OF LOW STRATUS CLOUDS AND PATCHY
DRIZZLE/LIGHT RAIN TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. SMOKE DISPERSION INDICES
WILL BE IN THE FAIR-GENERALLY GOOD RANGE BOTH DAYS, WITH MIXING
HEIGHTS OF 3000-4000 FT AND TRANSPORT WINDS OF 10-20 MPH. IN THE
EXTENDED PERIOD, AFTER A BRIEF INTRUSION OF HIGH PRESSURE
WEDNESDAY, CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN
TO INCREASE THURSDAY AFTERNOON IN THE WEST. HOWEVER, IT STILL
APPEARS AS IF THE RISK FOR WIDESPREAD MODERATE-HEAVY RAIN AND A
FEW STRONG-SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL COME FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON-
SATURDAY MORNING AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: PATCHY FOG AND FREEZING FOG
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN WIND-SHELTERED LOCATIONS AND NEAR LARGE
BODIES OF WATER EARLY THIS MORNING.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
