Huntsville, Ala. – Fog and slick spots could slow commuters across north Alabama Friday morning, especially along I-565, before sunshine dominates the weekend. Drivers should use caution in low-visibility areas as mist lingers into mid-morning before clearing.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, patchy fog will lift by mid-morning Friday, followed by sunny skies and a high near 90. Calm winds shift north at 5 mph during the afternoon. Friday night stays clear, with lows around 62.
Saturday will bring classic late-summer heat, with highs near 91 under full sun. Nights remain comfortable in the low 60s, but daytime heat stretches into Sunday with highs reaching 92. Residents planning outdoor events should prepare for extended sun exposure and hydrate regularly.
By Monday, north Alabama warms even further, peaking near 95 before easing slightly midweek. The area should remain mostly dry, though haze and lingering morning mist could again limit visibility.
Road crews and first responders warn drivers to slow down and allow extra space during foggy stretches, especially near Huntsville International Airport and along major highways. Low visibility can reduce reaction times and increase crash risks.
While this stretch of hot, dry weather offers relief from rain, the extended warmth may strain those without reliable cooling. Emergency officials recommend checking on elderly neighbors and limiting strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat.
More advisories could follow if fog or heat intensifies, but for now, the region heads into a classic late-summer weekend.
