Alabama wakes beneath a thick, pale blanket of fog that swallows headlights and softens every edge of the early landscape. The air feels warm and still, creating slick pavement that gleams under dim morning light. Drivers around Huntsville should stay alert, slow down, and use headlights as visibility drops to a quarter-mile or less in places. Early Thanksgiving travelers, especially those heading toward I-565 or US-231, may encounter rapid changes in visibility on bridges and open stretches.
As the fog gradually lifts, clouds take over and showers begin to form across north Alabama. A few rumbles of thunder may develop later in the morning as warmer air pushes in from the south. Travel may slow where rainfall thickens, and ponding is possible in typical low-lying areas. This unsettled setup marks another step in the region’s winter transition, a Winter Tease that hints at bigger pattern changes developing nationally.
Friday brings a more focused rain and storm chance. Thunderstorms may form during the afternoon, and while widespread severe weather is not expected, heavier downpours could briefly reduce visibility and disrupt local travel. With Thanksgiving one week away, anyone preparing for long-distance trips should begin checking route conditions and watching for pattern shifts. National models continue to hint at potential heavy snow in parts of the country from November 25 into early December, especially across the Northwest, Rockies, Midwest, and Northeast.
Saturday steadies the pattern with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 70s—excellent for outdoor chores, decorating, or early holiday prepping. By Sunday, sunshine continues before another weak disturbance approaches early next week.

Saturday: Mostly sunny, high 74.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, high 70.
