.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 1202 PM CDT MON SEP 8 2025
Another pleasant day is unfolding across Central Alabama. As of
writing, temps are sitting in the mid 70s to low 80s under mostly
sunny skies. A swath of upper level clouds can be seen across our
southeastern areas where there is a pocket of deeper moisture
(evident on GOES TPW imagery). We tack on a couple of degrees
tonight with lows in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Highs tomorrow
climb back into the low to mid 80s.
The only other items of note in the short term is the potential
for some breezy winds Tuesday morning. As surface high pressure
slides south across the Carolinas, the pressure gradient begins to
tighten. Easterly wind gusts from 20-25 MPH are likely, generally
east of I-65. The gradient looks to relax by mid day.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 1202 PM CDT MON SEP 8 2025
No significant changes needed with this long term forecast update.
Weak troughing aloft will give way to upper level ridging which
will help keep us dry through the forecast period.

Guidance continues to indicate a rain free pattern for the
extended. ERN Conus ridging will remain the dominant feature
through the week. In the upper levels, weak flow/troughing will
be present across the Deep South for mid week, but with only very
meager moisture available. As we head into the end of the week
and next weekend, upper ridging spreads across the Central US
from W TX with weak NRLY flow into AL and dry conditions. High
temperatures slowly moderate upward through the extended. However,
overnight lows should rebound nicely with the overall dry
conditions.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 720 PM CDT MON SEP 8 2025
VFR TAFs are expected for the next 24 hours with surface ridging
in place across ERN Conus. Look for NE-E winds around the ridge.
There will be some VFR fair weather cumulus and cirrus at times
with unrestricted VSBYs.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Rain free weather is forecast to prevail across Central Alabama
for the upcoming week with surface ridging in place. Afternoon
minimum RHs are currently forecast to average above critical
thresholds. However, if dew points trend slightly lower mid to
late week, RHs could bottom out just below currently forecast
minimums in the lower 30s. 20 foot winds will be northeast to
east between 5-10 mph Monday and Tuesday. 20 foot winds become
lighter as the week progresses.
