KEY MESSAGES
ISSUED AT 1233 AM CDT SUN OCT 25 2026
- SEASONABLE CONDITIONS: FAIR WEATHER EXPECTED INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
- FIRE WEATHER: THERE IS A MEDIUM FIRE WEATHER RISK OVER THE
WEEKEND DUE TO DRY FUELS, LIMITED MOISTURE, AND SLIGHTLY
INCREASED WINDS.
DISCUSSION
(SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1136 PM CDT SAT OCT 24 2026
UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN THE DOMINANT FEATURE
FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WORKWEEK, WITH AFTERNOON HIGH
TEMPERATURES REMAINING STEADY IN THE 70S. RAIN CHANCES ALSO
REMAIN LIMITED OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, AS DRY AIR KEEPS
PERMEATING THE AIR COLUMN OVERHEAD. AS WE BEGIN TO APPROACH THE
WEEKEND, THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN, AS A
DEEP TROUGH DEVELOPS TO THE WEST. THIS WILL PUT THE REGION INTO
SW FLOW, ALLOWING FOR OUR TEMPERATURES TO SLIGHTLY CLIMB INTO THE
WEEKEND, WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER-70S AND LOW-
80S.

AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1233 AM CDT SUN OCT 25 2026
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FOR THE ENTIRE TAF PERIOD,
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS
THAT MVFR VIS MAY OCCUR OVERNIGHT AT KASN DUE TO PATCHY FOG. THIS
WILL QUICKLY CLEAR AFTER SUNRISE.
NOTE: FALL SEASONAL ISSUANCE OF THE KASN TALLADEGA TAF BEGAN ON
10/18 00Z AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 10/28 18Z.

FIRE WEATHER
HIGH PRESSURE WILL ALLOW US TO MAINTAIN RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS WITH
LIGHT WINDS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. DAYTIME MINRH VALUES ARE
FORECAST TO BE IN THE 25 TO 35 PERCENT RANGE. WINDS PICK UP
SLIGHTLY OVER THE WEEKEND, GENERALLY IN THE 5-8 KNOT RANGE. GIVEN
MINRH VALUES AND DRYING FUELS, FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL REMAIN
MARGINAL INTO THE WEEKEND.
