Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Alabama
National Weather Service Huntsville AL
226 PM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop and spread
eastward across northern AL through late this afternoon, and
although much of this activity will dissipate with sunset, we may
experience impacts from a small cluster of storms dropping into
the region from the northwest this evening. A similar coverage of
rain and storms is anticipated on Saturday, but intensity of
convection across the northern portion of the state is a bit
uncertain and may be influenced by lingering clouds from
precipitation later this evening. A weak cold front will focus the
development of widespread showers and storms on Saturday night,
but this activity is expected to end from NW-to-SE late Sunday
morning as the boundary shifts southeastward. Weather conditions
next week will be dictated by the location of a subtle frontal
feature draped across the region, and although additional periods
of showers/storms will occur in the general area, there is a high
degree of uncertainty in both timing and location. Smoke
dispersion indices will improve from generally good (Saturday) to
good (Sunday) as mixing heights rise to 4500-5000 ft and transport
winds strengthen to 15-20 MPH.

Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy fog will be possible
early Saturday morning, especially in locations that receive
wetting rainfall later today or this evening.

Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
