Key Messages
Issued at 1048 PM CDT THU OCT 22 2026

Discussion
(Friday through next Thursday) Issued at 1048 PM CDT THU OCT 22 2026
Water vapor imagery this evening reveals an upper ridge building just off to our west as an upper trough exits to our east. At the surface, high pressure remains in control of the region. Dry conditions look to continue over the next week as the upper ridge expands and moisture remains limited. As a result, high temps will warm into the mid to upper 70s daily with lows dropping into the 40s. With that said, a reinforcing surge of high pressure will knock a couple of degrees off our highs over the weekend with most struggling to reach the mid 70s.
Otherwise, light winds and clear skies will promote patchy river fog overnight into the early morning hours daily over the next few days.

Aviation
(00Z TAFS) Issued at 603 PM CDT THU OCT 22 2026
VFR conditions and light winds prevail through this TAF cycle. Light and variable winds tonight will increase to around 6 knots out of the east during the day Friday.
Note: Fall seasonal issuance of the KASN Talladega TAF began on 10/18 00Z and will continue through 10/28 18Z.

Fire Weather
High pressure will allow us to maintain rain-free conditions with light winds through early next week. Daytime MinRH values are forecast to be in the 20 to 35 percent range. Winds pick up slightly over the weekend, generally in the 5-8 knot range. Given MinRH values and drying fuels, fire weather concerns will remain moderate into the weekend.
