.DISCUSSION...
Showers and a few thunderstorms will continue this afternoon in
the vicinity of a subtle convergence axis across northeast AL.
However, as a backdoor cold front begins to move westward into the
region overnight, we expect a fairly widespread coverage of low
clouds and light drizzle/showers to develop across the
northeastern portion of the forecast area. This regime will spread
westward on Sunday, with development of a few thunderstorms
possible along the front as it enters northwest AL during the
afternoon. Although a drier low-level airmass will be advected
into the region on Sunday night and Monday, mostly cloudy skies
are expected both periods along with a very low (10-30%) chance
for light rain at any time. Smoke dispersion indices will range
from fair-generally good both Sunday and Monday, with mixing
heights of 3000-4000 ft and transport winds of 10-20 MPH. The
extended outlook calls for a continuation of the wet weather
pattern on Tuesday/Wednesday, with progressively warmer/drier
conditions expected from Thursday-Saturday.
Fog potential over the next few days: Fog may develop early
Sunday morning (mixed with light rain and low clouds). A similar
setup could occur once again Tuesday morning.
Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
