.DISCUSSION...
(Wednesday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 1122 PM CDT TUE MAY 12 2026

In the lower levels, high pressure extended from the Carolinas
southwestward to Texas. Satellite continues to indicate some
lingering stratus in the southeast half of Central Alabama.
However, cloud cover is expected to slowly decrease now through
Wednesday. For Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday, a
reinforcing boundary is expected to move through and keep lower
humidity and dry conditions around for the end of the week.
Temperatures will be near normal for Thursday behind the
boundary, but are expected to warm as we head into the weekend as
the surface ridge slowly nudges eastward and a warm onshore flow
returns off of the gulf. For Saturday and into the first part of
next week, highs will begin to approach 90 degrees in a few
spots. Humidity will begin to rebound, but rain chances will
continue to hold off through this weekend for now. As we head
into Monday and Tuesday, there may be just enough moisture for
low chances of a shower or storm. Any occurrences would be
isolated. By the middle of next week, a front will approach the
Deep South from the northwest.

Cigs are currently MVFR at AUO, but they should improve by mid-
morning. There is a low (20-30%) chance of MVFR cigs at MGM as
well given proximity. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected
through the period with mainly northwesterly to northerly winds.
A cold front moves through this evening, but rain chances are at
or below 10%.
