Alabama – Cool air greets early risers, with a light chill settling over sidewalks and parked cars. The morning feels calm and dry for now, but changes are lining up quickly as warmer, wetter air moves toward north Alabama.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, sunshine dominates early, allowing temperatures to climb into the upper 60s this afternoon. Light winds keep conditions comfortable, setting up one of the warmer February days so far. It feels quiet, but the pattern ahead turns more active.
Clouds increase tonight as moisture builds. Tuesday stays mostly cloudy and warmer, with highs reaching the low 70s. By Tuesday night, rain becomes likely. Showers develop after sunset and could impact late travel along I-565, Memorial Parkway, and surrounding surface roads.
Wednesday brings the steadiest rain chances. Showers continue through much of the day before tapering later. Highs cool into the lower 60s, still mild for February. Wet pavement and reduced visibility may slow commutes, especially during the morning and evening drive windows.
Wednesday night turns quieter as skies partially clear and temperatures fall into the upper 30s. That drop matters. Any leftover moisture on bridges or shaded roads could cool quickly late, though freezing conditions are not expected at this time.
Thursday rebounds with partial sunshine and highs near 60. Rain chances return again Thursday night into Friday, continuing a stretch of on-and-off wet weather. While no winter precipitation is indicated, repeated rainfall can still impact travel and outdoor plans.
This pattern fits a broader Southeast trend, where winter cold remains bottled up north while Alabama stays mild. Looking into early next week, longer-range outlooks suggest above-normal temperatures continue, hinting that springlike weather may linger.
Plan for rain midweek, allow extra travel time, and keep layers handy as temperatures swing.
