751 FNUS54 KHUN 061020 FWFHUN Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Alabama National Weather Service Huntsville AL 520 AM CDT Mon May 6 2024 .DISCUSSION... Showers and thunderstorms will continue to spread eastward across the TN Valley this morning, as a warm front lifts northeastward through the region. Although a few storms will be capable of producing brief strong winds, small hail and frequent lightning, the main risk from this activity will be locally heavy rainfall and flooding. In the wake of morning precipitation, a more scattered coverage of showers and thunderstorms is expected this afternoon before dissipating shortly after sunset. However, a subtle surface trough drifting southeastward into northern AL may force the development of scattered afternoon storms once again on Tuesday. Smoke dispersion indices will be in the good range today (due to mixing heights between 4-5 kft and SW transport winds of 15-20 MPH), but should fall into the generally good range tomorrow. In the extended forecast, a warm and humid airmass will continue to support daily chances for showers and thunderstorms through the end of the work week, with a few severe thunderstorms possible on both Tuesday night and Wednesday night. A cooler and drier airmass of continental origins will overspread the region in the wake of a cold front on Friday and should linger through the beginning of next week. Fog potential over the next few days: None at this time. Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
