HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – North Alabama holds onto its summer heat this week, with Huntsville expecting highs near 90 degrees through Tuesday, September 16. Drivers and residents can count on dry skies and smooth commutes along Highway 72, but a shift toward rain arrives by the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, Tuesday will bring another sunny day with a high around 89 and calm winds under 5 mph. Nights stay comfortable, cooling to the mid-60s. The pattern remains steady until Thursday, when highs reach 92 before scattered showers begin to creep back into the forecast by Friday.
Clear skies mean no travel disruptions early in the week, ideal for school drop-offs, morning commutes, or outdoor work across Madison County. Residents should, however, prepare for the return of showers by charging devices, checking drainage around their homes, and planning flexible outdoor activities after Thursday.
Wednesday stays sunny with highs near 90, keeping late-summer warmth in place. But by Friday night into Saturday, a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms returns, signaling the start of more unsettled fall weather. While rainfall totals look light, downpours may briefly slow traffic or outdoor plans across the Huntsville metro.
Warnings are not currently in place, but residents should expect more advisories later this week as rain potential increases. The week begins calm, but September weather changes quickly in Alabama.
