Alabama wakes up under a hard February chill, and Huntsville is feeling it. Thermometers dipped to 19°F early, and frost coats windshields across Madison County. Bridges along I-565 and shaded back roads may hold slick patches where moisture briefly froze before sunrise.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, sunshine takes control through late morning. Highs climb to near 52°F with light winds becoming southwest at 5 to 10 mph. That sharp rebound melts lingering frost quickly, but drivers should remain alert through midmorning as pavement temperatures recover.
Clouds increase tonight with lows near 39°F. Wednesday turns milder, reaching 62°F under mostly cloudy skies. Winds stay light, but moisture deepens after sunset. Showers become likely late Wednesday night with rain chances near 60 percent.
Thursday brings the wettest stretch. Rain and possible thunderstorms push coverage to around 90 percent, with highs near 66°F. Periods of steady rain could impact the morning commute on Memorial Parkway and U.S. 72. Allow extra travel time and keep headlights on in heavier downpours.
Sunshine returns Friday with highs near 65°F. The weekend trends warmer and brighter. Saturday reaches near 71°F under full sun, delivering early spring warmth across the Tennessee Valley.
Looking ahead, early next week stays mild with only small rain chances. The 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures as February closes out.
