Huntsville, Ala. – Drivers heading into Huntsville Thursday for Patriot Day remembrances could encounter blazing sunshine and 90°F heat by afternoon. Anyone attending outdoor ceremonies is urged to bring water, wear light clothing, and limit time in direct sun.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, Thursday will stay clear and calm with highs near 90°F and light northeast winds. Heat will build further heading into the weekend, with temperatures peaking in the low to mid-90s across Madison County.
The extended stretch of sunny weather means smooth travel along I-565 and U.S. 72, but the warm afternoons may create challenges for outdoor gatherings. Organizers are advising attendees to plan for shade and hydration, especially during midday events marking the September 11 National Day of Remembrance.
Friday will push higher, reaching 91°F under sunny skies. The heat continues Saturday, topping out at 91°F again with clear evenings dipping only into the low 60s. By Monday, highs may climb to 95°F, well above typical early September averages for northern Alabama.
This fall pattern of cloud-free skies and unseasonably warm air remains in place at least through Tuesday, keeping conditions hot and dry. Residents should monitor personal safety during outdoor activities and expect more advisories if humidity rises later in the week.
