Huntsville, AL – Clear skies stretch over the Tennessee Valley this morning as a calm, golden sunrise ushers in another mild December day. Winds from the south carry a faint warmth, with temperatures expected to climb into the mid-50s today and near 60°F by Friday, before a noticeable chill sets in for the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, today brings mostly sunny skies and southerly winds gusting up to 25–30 mph, helping keep conditions dry and comfortable. Thursday will follow suit with highs in the mid-40s to upper 50s, before a stronger warm-up peaks Friday afternoon near 60°F.
The pattern shifts late Saturday as clouds build ahead of a weak frontal system, bringing a 30% chance of showers after midnight. By early Sunday, winds turn north and cooler air sweeps across North Alabama, dropping morning lows to near 31°F and highs struggling to reach the upper 30s.
This fast warm-to-cold swing could lead to patchy frost Sunday night and slick bridges in rural spots if light rain lingers. It’s part of a broader early winter trend spreading across the eastern U.S., where Arctic air is expected to surge south next week.
5-Day Outlook (Dec 10–Dec 14):
- Today (Wed): Mostly sunny, high 55°F, gusts to 30 mph.
- Thursday: Sunny, high 45°F, calm evening winds.
- Friday: Sunny, high near 60°F, light breeze.
