144 FNUS54 KHUN 030959 FWFHUN Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Alabama National Weather Service Huntsville AL 459 AM CDT Fri May 3 2024 .DISCUSSION... Rain and thunderstorms will continue to spread eastward across the region early this morning, within a warm and increasingly humid airmass across the TN Valley. Additional but more scattered thunderstorm activity is expected to develop by early this afternoon and continue through the evening hours, before transitioning back to light rain during the early morning hours Saturday. Little change in the general weather pattern is anticipated on Saturday, with scattered-numerous showers and thunderstorms expected (mainly during the afternoon hours). Smoke dispersion indices will be in the fair range both today and tomorrow, with mixing heights of 3500-4500 ft and transport winds of 10-15 MPH. In the extended period, it appears as if airmass of even greater warmth and humidity will spread northeastward on Sunday night and persist for much of next week. Although the coverage of showers and thunderstorms may be a bit lower on Monday-Wednesday (compared to this weekend), chances for storms will increase once again on Thursday/Friday. Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy fog will be possible during the early morning hours each day from today-Sunday. Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
