.DISCUSSION...
Isolated-widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue
to impact mainly portions of northwest and northeast AL this
afternoon, with convection expected to dissipate within an hour or
two of sunset. Mostly clear skies and calm winds overnight will
support development of patchy fog in a few locations (primarily
those that receive wetting rainfall today). Although very little
change in this general pattern is expected on Tuesday, a surface
trough will approach our region from the east Tuesday night
(potentially resulting in a greater coverage of evening
thunderstorms across northeast AL). As this boundary progresses
westward on Wednesday, the coverage of showers and thunderstorms
will increase region-wide. Smoke dispersion indices will range
from generally good (NW AL) to fair elsewhere, with mixing heights
of 6000-7000 ft and transport winds of 5-10 MPH. In the extended
portion of the forecast period, an upper-level ridge of high
pressure will remain in place across the region through early next
week, leading to a continuation of hot/humid days and warm
overnight lows. Although a few afternoon/early evening showers and
storms can be expected on a daily basis, these will be
unorganized and random in coverage, with lightning and brief
strong wind gusts the main impacts.
Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy early morning
mist/fog will be possible each morning through early next week
(primarily in locations that receive wetting rainfall).
Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
