Huntsville, AL – Residents across North Alabama should prepare for dangerously cold conditions tonight, with temperatures dropping into the low to mid-teens and wind chills falling as low as -5°F, creating a risk for frostbite and prolonged cold exposure.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, northwest winds between 10 and 15 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph, will significantly worsen the cold feel overnight. Forecasters say the coldest conditions are expected late tonight into early Sunday morning, when wind chills may range from -5°F to 10°F.
Sunday will remain cold, though slightly improved. High temperatures are expected to reach the upper 20s to mid-30s, but morning wind chills could still hover near zero, especially in open or elevated areas. Overnight lows Sunday night are forecast to fall back into the upper teens to mid-20s.
The extended forecast shows a noticeable warm-up early next week. Monday is expected to bring partly sunny skies with highs in the mid to upper 40s. Rain chances increase Tuesday, with highs climbing into the low to mid-50s and a 50% chance of rain, followed by additional rain chances Wednesday before drier, sunny conditions return Thursday.
Weather officials urge residents to dress in layers, limit time outdoors during the coldest periods, and ensure pets, pipes, and vulnerable neighbors are protected from the cold.
