FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR ALABAMA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
428 AM CDT WED AUG 26 2026
DISCUSSION
WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS NORTHERN AL WILL BECOME LESS INFLUENCED
BY A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE (TO OUR NORTHEAST) AND MORE
INFLUENCED BY LOW PRESSURE (TO OUR WEST) TODAY, WITH LIGHT
SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW ALLOWING A MOIST AIRMASS TO RETURN TO THE
REGION. WITH THIS WILL COME INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS, AND IT APPEARS AS IF AN ORGANIZED CLUSTER OF STORMS
WILL EVOLVE TO OUR NORTHWEST LATER THIS MORNING AND IMPACT MUCH
OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON WITH LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS, FREQUENT
LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAINFALL. RAIN CHANCES WILL DIMINISH
OVERNIGHT; HOWEVER, AN ADDITIONAL BUT MORE SCATTERED COVERAGE OF
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS A WEAK COLD
FRONT DRIFTS SLOWLY SOUTHWARD INTO THE FORECAST AREA. MIXING
HEIGHTS BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW WILL BE IN THE 4-6 KFT RANGE, AND
THIS (COUPLED WITH TRANSPORT WINDS OF 5-10 MPH) WILL YIELD FAIR
SMOKE DISPERSION.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: CONDITIONS APPEAR CONDUCIVE
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD, LOCALLY DENSE FOG EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
