HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Storm chances are set to return Monday in northern Alabama, raising concerns for drivers and outdoor plans early in the week. While this weekend brings plenty of sunshine, September storms could slow commutes and spark localized flooding by Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, scattered showers may develop Monday afternoon, with a stronger push of thunderstorms possible by Tuesday and Wednesday. Rain chances climb to 50 percent midweek, keeping roads like I-565 and Memorial Parkway vulnerable to slick conditions and potential delays.
Sunday will stay mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s, offering one more dry day before the unsettled pattern takes hold. By Monday afternoon, a 20 percent chance of showers shifts into a 30 to 50 percent storm risk through midweek, with temperatures holding near seasonal highs in the upper 80s.
Travelers should plan extra time on major routes, especially during evening commutes when downpours could reduce visibility. Residents are encouraged to keep devices charged in case of brief power outages and to monitor updated advisories into Tuesday night.
