FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR ALABAMA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
435 AM CST THU JAN 8 2026
DISCUSSION
LOCALLY DENSE FOG ACROSS THE TN VALLEY EARLY THIS MORNING WILL
MIX OUT RATHER QUICKLY AFTER SUNRISE, AS SSE WINDS STRENGTHEN IN
RESPONSE TO AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS
THE CENTRAL PLAINS. ALTHOUGH SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR
THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY, RAIN CHANCES WILL BE LOW (WITH ONLY A FEW
LIGHT SHOWERS EXPECTED TO OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING). CHANCES
FOR RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS
NORTHWEST AL SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT, WITH THIS REGIME DEVELOPING
QUICKLY NORTHEASTWARD TO ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE REGION BY SUNRISE.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIMEFRAME AND
A FEW STORMS COULD BE STRONG-SEVERE, BUT THE AXIS OF PRECIPITATION
WILL LIKELY DRIFT SOUTHEASTWARD AND OUT OF THE REGION BY EARLY
AFTERNOON, LEAVING CLOUDY SKIES AND LINGERING LIGHT RAIN FOR THE
REST OF THE DAY. SMOKE DISPERSION INDICES WILL BE GENERALLY GOOD
TODAY BUT WILL FALL INTO THE FAIR CATEGORY TOMORROW AS MIXING
HEIGHTS DESCEND INTO THE 2000-3000 FT RANGE. IN THE EXTENDED
PERIOD, THE RISK FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND A FEW STRONG-SEVERE
STORMS WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN FRIDAY EVENING AND CONTINUE
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION WILL END BY EARLY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES SOUTHEASTWARD AND USHERS A
COOLER/DRIER AIRMASS INTO THE REGION FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE
WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: WIDESPREAD MIST AND FOG ARE
OCCURRING ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING (WITH DENSE
FOG MOST PREVALENT IN THE WEST). THE FOG SHOULD MIX OUT BETWEEN
8-10 AM CST.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
