Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Alabama
National Weather Service Huntsville AL
451 AM CDT Sat May 4 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Rain and embedded thunderstorms associated with a weak upper-
level disturbance will continue to spread northeastward and out of
northern AL after sunrise, with only isolated-widely scattered
showers and storms expected this afternoon. Partly cloudy-mostly
sunny skies will lead to a warm/humid day, with highs in the l-m
80s. A low chance for showers and storms will continue across the
region overnight and through much of the day on Sunday, but
probabilities for wetting rainfall are rather low at any single
location. Smoke dispersion indices both today and tomorrow will be
in the fair range across northeast AL and in the generally good
range elsewhere. In the extended period, chances for wetting
rainfall will increase on Sunday night/Monday morning, as a warm
front lifts northward through the region, but will diminish once
again from Monday afternoon-Tuesday. An active period of strong to
severe thunderstorms is becoming increasingly likely from Tuesday
night-Thursday. However, this will be followed by a cold front
that should bring a drier and cooler airmass into the region by
next weekend.

Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy, locally dense fog
will be possible during the early morning hours each day from
today-Monday.

Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
