.DISCUSSION...
Showers and a few thunderstorms will continue to develop and
expand in coverage across the western half of north AL though the
morning hours today, as an approaching upper-level disturbance
begins to interact with a surface trough lying immediately west of
the region. Although this activity will have a tendency to shift
southeastward over the course of the day, it will encounter a
drier airmass across the southeastern fire weather zones,
resulting in a lower probability for wetting rainfall. A separate
cluster of thunderstorms may evolve to our northwest this
afternoon, and could potentially also spread southeastward this
evening, but should weaken with time as it does so. Otherwise, a
few afternoon showers and storms will be possible once again on
Wednesday, but with a lower coverage compared to previous days.
Due to transport winds of 5-10 MPH and mixing heights of 5000-6000
ft, smoke dispersion will be fair both today and Wednesday. In
the extended period, we expect another chance for showers and
thunderstorms on Thursday as a cold front drops southeastward into
the region. After a brief period of dry conditions Thursday
night/Friday, showers and thunderstorms will return on Saturday as
a stronger/reinforcing cold front sweeps across the TN Valley.
Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy, light fog will be
possible in a few locations early this morning and Wednesday
morning.
Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
