Huntsville, Alabama – Temperatures are rising quickly across North Alabama this evening, setting the stage for a warm, dry weekend that could push highs into the mid-80s before a noticeable cooldown arrives early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, highs will reach between 67 and 72 degrees Thursday before climbing into the upper 70s Friday. Dry conditions will dominate, allowing for steady warming into the weekend with abundant sunshine.
