Alabama – Cold air presses hard across the Tennessee Valley this morning, rattling bare branches and stinging exposed skin. North winds sweep across open fields, driving wind chills into the teens as the day begins. It feels sharp, dry, and unmistakably wintry right now.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, temperatures hover in the upper 20s early, with gusty north winds making it feel much colder. Clouds gradually thin, and sunshine works in by midday. Even so, highs only reach the low 40s this afternoon. Bridges and overpasses stay cold, and any lingering moisture can freeze briefly during the morning drive.
Conditions improve steadily Friday. Sunshine dominates, and temperatures climb into the upper 50s by afternoon. Winds relax, travel improves, and the cold edge finally fades. Friday night dips back into the low 30s, but widespread icy issues remain limited.
Saturday brings another cool but calmer day. Highs reach the mid-40s under sunny skies. By Sunday, the pattern shifts again. Temperatures rebound into the upper 50s, clouds increase slightly, and winds turn lighter. Outdoor plans become more comfortable, especially by afternoon.
Early next week pushes the warming trend further. Monday reaches the upper 60s, with Tuesday nearing 70. Rain chances remain low through the weekend, then gradually increase midweek. NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook shows above-normal temperatures across much of the Southeast, signaling a broader February thaw ahead.
Drivers should plan extra time early today and watch shaded roads for brief slick spots. Dress for wind chills this morning, then expect lighter layers by the weekend. Feeling the cold bite where you are, or noticing the warmup already? Share what conditions look like in your neighborhood.
