.DISCUSSION...
(Friday through next Thursday)
Issued at 1215 AM CST FRI FEB 6 2026

Fri-Sun: Westerly winds will increase around mid morning today to
near 10 mph with gusts around 20 mph. A dry frontal passage will
occur tonight, shifting winds to the north with similar speeds
until sunset Saturday. Mild temperatures this afternoon will take
a ~10-15 degree hit for Saturday due to the frontal passage, but
quickly rebound on Sunday. Mornings will be cold.

Mon-Thu: A progressive mid-level pattern next week will bring
ridge and trough axes across the Gulf Coast region. The setup
favors cool mornings and mild afternoons. High temperatures are
forecast to reach the upper 60s to lower 70s for much of Central
Alabama. An increase in PWATs and arrival of a low-amplitude
shortwave trough will offer a chance for rain showers late
Tuesday through Wednesday.

Light winds and VFR conditions have prevailed through the night.
Westerly winds will gradually increase through the day with gusts
around 20 knots likely at times. Winds will shift to the north
this evening as a cold front moves in. Introduced a TEMPO group
late in this TAF window for MVFR cigs at BHM/EET/TCL as time
heights and soundings hint at low level moisture lingering. HREF
probabilities are hinting at a 50-60% chance of these ceilings
developing.

Rain-free weather is expected through the weekend. MinRHs today
will be in the 40s, perhaps briefly reaching the upper 30s for a
few locations, with westerly winds near 10 mph and gusts around 20
mph. Similar wind speeds are forecast through Saturday, though
directions will become northerly this evening due to a dry
frontal passage. MinRHs on Saturday will reach the low to mid 30s,

reaching the low 20s to low 30s, with the lower end of that range
most prevalent near and east of the 65.
