Issued at 1226 PM CDT FRI APR 26 2024

Warm conditions are expected across Central Alabama through the 
short term period as a large ridge builds across the eastern CONUS. 
Southerly flow has developed, and this will usher in a warmer 
airmass with highs in the mid 80s and overnight lows in the low/mid 
60s. Ample low-level moisture will be in place, so dewpoints are not 
expected to mix as much during the afternoon. A remnant warm front 
is lifting across northeast Alabama in response to an ejecting low-
pressure system over the Central Plains. Some hi-res models indicate 
a small chance for some isolated showers across our northeast 
counties this afternoon with some weak convergence along the 
boundary due to the damming over northern Georgia. Some cu is 
already developing in this region. Conditions will be rain-free 
tomorrow as the ridge dominates, but there will be some high-level 
clouds passing across the region and more fair weather cu during the 
afternoon.
