FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR ALABAMA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
130 PM CDT WED SEP 23 2026
DISCUSSION
PERSISTENT LOWER CLOUDS HAVE PRODUCED COOLER CONDITIONS ACROSS NW
AND NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA TODAY. LESSER CLOUD COVER TO THE EAST
WILL ALLOW HIGHER INSTABILITY, AND BRING LOWER TO MEDIUM CHANCES
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS NE
ALABAMA. SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD WANE AS WE GO INTO THE EVENING.
LOW TEMPERATURE OTHERWISE WILL FALL INTO THE LOW/MID 60S. COOLER
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS NORTHERN ALABAMA ON THURSDAY, AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH. HIGH TEMPERATURE WILL
RANGE FROM THE UPPER 70S HIGHER TERRAIN TO LOW/MID 80S ELSEWHERE.
EXPECT MINIMUM AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES FROM THE LOW/MID 50S
WEST TO MID 60S EAST. SMOKE DISPERSION RATES WILL RANGE FROM FAIR
EAST TO GENERALLY GOOD WEST. FORECAST TRANSPORT WINDS FROM THE
EAST AT 5-10 MPH, WITH MIXING HEIGHTS RANGING FROM AROUND 4000 FT
AGL EAST TO 7500 FT WEST.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: DECREASING CLOUDS AND
GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS TONIGHT COULD RESULT IN PATCHY LATE NIGHT
FOG DEVELOPMENT.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: NOT FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
