DISCUSSION
(This afternoon through Monday) Issued at 1114 AM CST TUE MAR 3 2026
We'll remain cloudy for much of the day as a wedge front is stretched across Central AL. Broad high pressure should remain in place through much of the week with generally zonal flow aloft. This will lead to continued rain-free conditions for the next several days and temperatures remaining above normal for this time of year.
A weak frontal boundary will approach the region late in the week leading to increased rain chances beginning Friday. Like the last few frontal boundary, this one is again expected to slow and stall across the region, leading to persistent rain chances through the weekend and into early next week. 25/Owen
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1114 AM CST TUE MAR 3 2026
The low clouds have been slow to rise today with the wedge front draped across the region. This should continue CIGS should continue to improve as the day progresses. After that VFR will persist through the remainder of the period as we are on the dry side of the boundary. Generally southerly to southeasterly winds are expected and should remain below 5-7kts.

FIRE WEATHER
Rain-free conditions are expected to continue through the next several days with Min RHs in the 40-50% range. The next chance for rain will be late in the week and into the weekend as a frontal boundary pushes into the region.
