Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Alabama
National Weather Service Huntsville AL
127 PM CDT Thu Jul 31 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue across the
region this afternoon, with additional convection possible this
evening as a cold front begins to approach the TN Valley from the
northwest. Thunderstorms will redevelop by late Friday morning in
the vicinity of the southward-moving cold front, but should end
south of the TN River by early Friday evening. After a brief
intrusion of slightly cooler/drier air Friday night, low-level
moisture will begin to return to the eastern portion of the
forecast area Saturday, with chances for showers and storms
returning. Smoke dispersion indices will be in the fair-generally
good range both Friday and Saturday, with mixing heights of
5000-6000 ft and transport winds of 5-10 MPH. The general outlook
for the extended period is for a wetter/cooler weather pattern to
persist through the first half of next week, before warmer/drier
conditions return Wednesday and Thursday.

Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy light fog and low
stratus clouds will be possible early tomorrow morning.

Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
