...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING...
DISCUSSION
LIGHT-MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL MAINTAIN A WARM/MOIST
AIRMASS ACROSS NORTHERN AL UNTIL THE ARRIVAL OF A COLD FRONT THIS
AFTERNOON. SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NNW AND STRENGTHEN INTO
THE 15-20 MPH RANGE (WITH GUSTS OF 20-25 MPH) IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT, WITH THESE CONDITIONS CONTINUING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. ALTHOUGH A NARROW BAND OF LIGHT SHOWERS MAY ACCOMPANY THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE (WITH PATCHES OF LIGHT POSTFRONTAL RAIN EXPECTED
THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING), RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT AND
GENERALLY LESS THAN 0.10" FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. WINDS
WILL STEADILY DECREASE THROUGH THE LATE MORNING HOURS AND INTO THE
AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY, BUT A VERY DRY AIRMASS WILL RESULT IN RH
VALUES IN THE 20-25% RANGE, AND A FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR ALL ZONES FROM 7 AM-7 PM. SMOKE DISPERSION WILL BE GOOD
BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW, WITH MIXING HEIGHTS OF 4000-5000 FT AND
TRANSPORT WINDS OF 15-20 MPH. IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD, LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO GRADUALLY RETURN TO THE REGION ON SUNDAY,
WITH RH VALUES RISING BACK INTO THE 25-35% RANGE. THIS TREND WILL
CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WORK WEEK, WITH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING ONCE AGAIN BY WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: PATCHY, LIGHT FOG WILL
OCCUR IN THE WIND-SHELTERED VALLEYS OF NORTHEAST AL EARLY THIS
MORNING.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: DUE TO AT LEAST A BRIEF
OVERLAP OF STRONG WINDS AND LOW RH VALUES ON SATURDAY, THERE IS A
MEDIUM CHANCE THAT RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL BE ACHIEVED.
