National Weather Service Huntsville AL
248 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Daily chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue through
Sunday. A cold front will bring a break from the rain Friday
evening and Saturday morning. Low confidence in how poor smoke
dispersions will be on Friday due to variations in mixing heights
and transport winds. Similar limitations are expected on Saturday,
with mixing heights between 2500-3000ft and northerly transport
winds between 8-15mph.

Fog potential over the next few days: None.

Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None.
