Updated at 1116 PM CST MON DEC 8 2025 - Lows tonight will fall below freezing for nearly all of Central Alabama. - Seasonable temperatures expected this week with little chance for rain until the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... (Today through next Monday) Issued at 1116 PM CST MON DEC 8 2025 High pressure is expected to build into the region today, leading to some clearing of the persistent cloud cover that we`ve seen over the past few days. Southerly flow returns Wednesday ahead of another frontal passage, but deep moisture return will be lacking, so we`re not expecting any significant rain chances with the next frontal passage Wednesday into Thursday. Rain-free weather is expected to continue through the end of the week. Another wave is expected to dip through the main upper level trough over the weekend. An effective warm front appears to lift northward through the area on Saturday before the main cold front pushes through Saturday night into Sunday, leading to increased rain chances. Keeping the overall probabilities low for now as coverage of any rainfall still remains uncertain. 25/Owen && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1116 PM CST MON DEC 8 2025 Low ceilings appear to be the main concern over the next 6 - 10 hours with MVFR stratus remaining persistent across the northern half of Central AL. HREF probabilities still point to high chances of IFR CIGS for BHM, EET, and TCL from roughly 4-6am to 9am. After that, ceilings improve and clouds become more scattered as we go into the afternoon and should remain that way through the remainder of the period. 25/Owen && .FIRE WEATHER... MinRHs will generally remain above 40% for the next several days with little to no rain chances through the remainder of the week. We`ll see southerly flow today, shifting more westerly then northerly with our next frontal passage Wednesday into Thursday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
