Huntsville, AL – Gray skies and damp air greet north Alabama this morning as patchy fog blankets the Tennessee Valley, making for a slower, cautious commute. Visibility dips below a mile in spots along I-565 and Highway 72, where headlights glow faintly through the mist.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, fog should lift by 10 a.m., giving way to partly sunny skies and highs near 50°F. The air stays cool and calm with light northwest winds around 5 mph. Drivers are urged to keep headlights on low beam and allow extra time for morning travel.
Sunday marks a change — clouds build through the day, and a 40% chance of rain showers arrives by afternoon. Temperatures climb into the mid-50s, followed by lows in the upper 30s as winds shift north. By Monday, the system clears, leaving partly cloudy skies and a noticeable drop to 43°F at the high mark.
The first half of next week looks quiet and bright, with sunny conditions and highs near 52°F by Tuesday. However, long-range models hint at a cooler pattern across the Mid-South and Tennessee Valley between Dec. 11–17, potentially signaling early-season cold snaps or frosty mornings ahead.
