Huntsville, Alabama – Temperatures in northern Alabama are set to soar Tuesday, June 3rd, as Huntsville climbs into the upper 80s with smoky skies possible due to Canadian wildfire smoke drifting into the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, Tuesday will be sunny with a high near 88°F. Winds from the southeast may carry haze into the Tennessee Valley, reducing visibility and potentially triggering air quality advisories in sensitive areas. Residents with respiratory conditions should limit outdoor activity if haze increases.
Calm morning breezes will give way to southeast winds around 5 mph by midday. Gusts could reach 15 mph at times, especially along major roadways like Highway 231 and I-565. Drivers are urged to stay alert to changing visibility conditions and stay hydrated in the rising heat.
While Tuesday remains dry, storm chances increase later in the week. A 20% chance of thunderstorms moves in Thursday afternoon, growing to 70% by Saturday. Rain could bring brief relief from the heat but may impact weekend plans and outdoor events.
Smoke and ozone levels may fluctuate throughout the week. Officials recommend checking local air quality updates each morning and avoiding strenuous outdoor activity if alerts are issued.
