Huntsville, Alabama – Residents will get one more summer-like day Thursday before a fast-moving cold front triggers a sharp temperature drop and introduces rain chances heading into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, highs will climb between 80 and 85 degrees Thursday under sunny skies, with mild overnight lows in the low to mid-60s. Changes arrive Friday as clouds increase and a low chance of rain develops, with highs still reaching 77 to 82 degrees before colder air moves in.
By Saturday morning, temperatures will fall into the upper 30s to low 40s, with daytime highs only reaching 60 to 65 degrees across northern Alabama, including Huntsville, Decatur, and Florence. The cooler air mass will linger into Sunday, keeping highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Drivers should watch for brief wet roads Friday, though widespread impacts appear limited. The bigger shift will be the noticeable chill, especially during early morning hours this weekend.
Residents are encouraged to prepare for the rapid change by adjusting outdoor plans and keeping layers handy as temperatures swing nearly 25 degrees in less than 48 hours. More updates could follow if rain chances increase Friday.
