HUNTSVILLE, AL – The air feels thick and cool across North Alabama this morning, with steady rain and low clouds covering much of the Tennessee Valley. Umbrellas line the sidewalks and headlights cut through drizzle as the region braces for another 24 hours of wet weather.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, showers remain likely through Monday night, with some areas seeing steady downpours and brief gusts. Roads are slick, and standing water could develop in low-lying spots — particularly near I-565, U.S. 72, and Memorial Parkway. Commuters should allow extra time, especially through Monday morning and afternoon, when visibility may dip under a mile in heavier showers.
Temperatures will hover in the upper 40s to low 50s Monday before cooler, drier air filters in Tuesday. The region stays chilly through midweek, but skies will clear, delivering crisp sunshine and calmer winds by Wednesday. Another chance of rain looms late Thursday into Friday, though no severe weather is expected at this stage.
For now, residents can expect a damp, gray start to December, with a brief taste of winter chill following behind the rain system.
