FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR ALABAMA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
132 PM CDT THU MAY 28 2026
DISCUSSION
A SURFACE WIND SHIFT AXIS POSITIONED IN THE VICINITY OF THE AL-TN
BORDER AND A WEAK UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHING THE REGION
FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT FOR SLOW-
MOVING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON.
ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE WITHIN AN HOUR OR
SO OF SUNSET, REDEVELOPMENT OF WEAK CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO
OCCUR ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA PRIOR TO SUNRISE,
SETTING THE STAGE FOR A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AS THIS AXIS OF PRECIPITATION
SHIFTS NORTHEASTWARD ON FRIDAY NIGHT, CONDITIONS WILL BECOME
FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF LOCALLY DENSE FOG EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING. REDEVELOPMENT OF ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR IN
THE VICINITY OF THE WIND SHIFT AXIS (WHICH WILL MOVE LITTLE IF AT
ALL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS) ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, BUT COVERAGE IS
A BIT MORE UNCERTAIN. SMOKE DISPERSION INDICES WILL BE IN THE
FAIR RANGE BOTH TOMORROW AND SATURDAY, WITH MIXING HEIGHTS OF
2500-3500 FT AND TRANSPORT WINDS OF 5-10 MPH. IN THE EXTENDED
PORTION OF THE FORECAST, IT APPEARS AS IF THE RECENT WET WEATHER
PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, BUT A
TRANSITION TO A DRIER PATTERN WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY AND CONTINUE
FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP IN A
FEW LOCATIONS LATE THIS EVENING AND AGAIN ON SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING. HOWEVER, A MORE FAVORABLE SETUP FOR
WIDESPREAD, LOCALLY DENSE FOG WILL OCCUR ON FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY
MORNING.
POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS: NONE AT THIS TIME.
