FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR ALABAMA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
217 PM CDT SAT MAY 2 2026
DISCUSSION
A PASSING UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE MAY BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO
PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AL LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS
EVENING. ALTHOUGH ANY HEAVIER SHOWER WOULD BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
BRIEF GUSTY WINDS UP TO 30-40 MPH AND PERHAPS SOME PELLETS OF
GRAUPEL, BOTH ANTICIPATED COVERAGE AND PROBABILITIES FOR WETTING
RAINFALL ARE VERY LOW. TONIGHT, A SURFACE RIDGE WILL LIE ACROSS
THE TN VALLEY, WITH CALM WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES PROMOTING COOL
OVERNIGHT TEMPS IN THE U30S-L40S AND DEVELOPMENT OF FOG EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING. LOW-LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY RETURN FLOW WILL BEGIN
LATER IN THE DAY TOMORROW AND CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY, WITH A
CONTINUATION OF DRY WEATHER AND A GRADUAL WARMING TREND. AFTERNOON
RH VALUES WILL RISE FROM THE 30-40% RANGE TODAY TO 40-50% RANGE
BY TUESDAY. SMOKE DISPERSION INDICES WILL BE GOOD TOMORROW AND
SHOULD IMPROVE TO VERY GOOD ON MONDAY, AS MIXING HEIGHTS RISE TO
7000-7500 FT AND TRANSPORT WINDS STRENGTHEN TO 15-20 MPH. IN THE
EXTENDED PERIOD, THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY FOR WIDESPREAD WETTING
RAINFALL WILL COME WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD
FRONT. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER COOL/DRY AIRMASS TO END
THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: CONDITIONS WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR A PATCHY-AREAL COVERAGE OF FOG EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
PATCHY FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE IN WIND-SHELTERED LOCATIONS ON
MONDAY/TUESDAY MORNINGS.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
