Alabama greets the morning with cold air that bites lightly at exposed skin.
Early hours feel wintry across north Alabama, with temperatures hovering near 33 degrees around Huntsville. Calm conditions keep the cold settled in valleys and shaded neighborhoods. Frost lingers briefly on rooftops and windshields, especially outside the city center.
Sunshine changes the story quickly. As daylight strengthens, temperatures rise steadily through the morning. By afternoon, Huntsville climbs toward 60 degrees, delivering a noticeable February turnaround. Light winds keep conditions comfortable, and travel along I-565 and Memorial Parkway remains smooth.
Tonight brings another reminder that winter still has a say. Clear skies allow temperatures to fall back into the low 30s, setting up another chilly start Saturday morning. Any moisture from daytime melting could refreeze overnight. Drivers should stay cautious on bridges and less-traveled roads early Saturday.
Saturday stays bright but cooler. Afternoon highs reach the mid-40s, with dry air and sunshine dominating the sky. Saturday night turns cold again, dipping near 26 degrees in outlying areas.
Sunday brings a stronger warm-up. Mostly sunny skies push highs into the mid-50s, making outdoor plans more comfortable. Jackets lighten, and late-day activities feel easier to manage.
Early next week continues the warming trend. Monday reaches the upper 60s, hinting at springlike conditions. Clouds increase Monday night, and a small chance of showers appears Tuesday afternoon. Rain coverage stays limited, but it signals a more active pattern ahead.
Longer-range outlooks suggest above-normal temperatures may persist into midweek. While winter cold snaps remain possible, signs of a broader February warm trend are building.
Plan layers today, prepare for refreezing overnight, and enjoy the gradual warm-up. How cold did it feel in your part of Huntsville this morning?
