.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 128 AM CDT THU JUL 3 2025

Weak surface high pressure, and a northwest upper flow (with no
obvious upstream MCS systems) will keep conditions dry across all
of central Alabama today and tonight, and all but (perhaps) the
far southeast portion of the area on Friday. Temperatures both
days pretty close to seasonal normals.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 128 AM CDT THU JUL 3 2025

Over the weekend, an upper level ridge is forecast to build to
our north over the Ohio valley, putting us on the southern
periphery. This will lead to a gradual increase in low level
moisture levels, and less mid-level subsidence, which in turn will
allow for a gradual return to a more diurnally active convection
regime to spread northward across the CWA. With the increased
moisture levels also comes higher heat index levels. Ensemble
based probabilistic schemes suggest that by the time we get to
Tuesday or Wednesday or next week, there`s a chance that afternoon
apparent temperatures could approach 100 degrees, especially in
the southwestern portion of our forecast area (Sumter, Greene,
Hale, Marengo Counties -ish).

aviation concerns at this time.

.FIRE WEATHER...

A cold front is situated to our south, and dry air will continue

critical thresholds through the weekend, with generally light
winds. There are no fire weather concerns at this time.
