FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR ALABAMA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
430 AM CDT TUE MAR 24 2026
DISCUSSION
A THICK CANOPY OF HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD
ACROSS NORTHERN AL EARLY THIS MORNING, ALONG WITH PATCHES OF VIRGA
BUT VERY LOW CHANCES FOR EVEN A FEW SPRINKLES OF RAIN AT THE
SURFACE. AS SKIES BEGIN TO PARTIALLY CLEAR LATER THIS MORNING,
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE U60S-L70S AND WITH ONLY A MINOR
INCREASE IN DEWPOINTS, THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO MINRH VALUES OF
20-30%. FORTUNATELY, LOW-LEVEL WINDS WILL DIMINISH AND SHIFT TO
ESE, TEMPERING THE RISK FOR FIRE GROWTH AND SPREAD. LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY BEGIN TO RETURN TO THE FORECAST AREA
TONIGHT AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE SSW, AND THIS WILL LEAD TO HIGHER
MINRH VALUES OF 45-55% ON WEDNESDAY (ALONG WITH A HIGHER COVERAGE
OF LOW CLOUDS BUT LITTLE-NO CHANCE FOR RAINFALL). SMOKE DISPERSION
WILL BE GENERALLY GOOD BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW, WITH MIXING
HEIGHTS OF 4500-5500 FT AND TRANSPORT WINDS OF 10-15 MPH. AT THE
PRESENT TIME, WE EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE FOR THE
MAJORITY OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD, WITH THE ONLY
OPPORTUNITY FOR RAIN COMING WITH THE PASSAGE OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT
FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MORE
FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PATCHY MIST/FOG IN VALLEYS AND NEAR
LARGE BODIES OF WATER DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: ALTHOUGH OUR REGION IS
CURRENTLY OUTLOOKED AS HAVING A MODERATE RISK FOR SIGNIFICANT FIRE
POTENTIAL FROM THE NICC AND MINRH VALUES MAY FALL INTO THE 20-25%
RANGE THIS AFTERNOON, WINDS APPEAR TOO LIGHT TO WARRANT A RED
FLAG WARNING AT THIS TIME.
