Alabama – Alabama wakes up under a gray veil as headlights blur and taillights fade into mist across North Alabama. Visibility drops quickly on familiar roads, turning routine drives cautious.
Dense fog blankets the Huntsville area early, cutting visibility to a quarter mile or less in spots. According to the National Weather Service, a Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect through mid-morning. Madison County and surrounding areas sit in the thickest fog, creating hazardous travel conditions during the busiest commute hours.
Drivers along I-565, Memorial Parkway, and surface roads near Research Park should slow down and allow extra following distance. Sudden drops in visibility can occur without warning, especially near low-lying areas and open fields. Use low-beam headlights and avoid rapid lane changes.
Temperatures hold near 40 degrees this morning, keeping the fog slow to lift. As the morning progresses, cloud cover remains stubborn. Any clearing stays limited, and highs reach the low 40s later today. Winds stay light, offering little help in breaking up lingering mist.
Tonight turns colder as skies gradually thin. Temperatures drop into the low 20s, allowing damp spots to freeze by early Thursday. Bridges and elevated roadways could become slick before sunrise. Plan ahead if traveling early.
Thursday brings a noticeable improvement. Sunshine returns, though the air stays crisp with highs near the low 40s. Winds increase slightly, helping dry road surfaces through the afternoon.
By Friday, February warmth makes a comeback. Sunshine pushes highs toward the upper 50s, and the weekend looks even milder. Saturday reaches the low 50s, followed by lower 60s on Sunday under mostly sunny skies.
Looking into early next week, temperatures continue climbing into the 60s with dry conditions holding. Are you seeing fog linger longer than expected in your neighborhood this morning?
