Huntsville, AL – A gray blanket of clouds stretches over the Tennessee Valley this morning as light drizzle taps against rooftops. Roads glisten slightly, but the worst is already passing — a weak system brushing through north Alabama before giving way to clear, crisp skies.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, lingering showers taper off by mid-morning, with skies gradually brightening through the afternoon. Highs reach 57°F, a touch below average for late October, with northwest winds gusting near 15 mph. By evening, drier air settles in, and lows fall toward the upper 30s, signaling a chilly but calm night ahead.
Friday brings full sunshine and highs near 61°F, while Saturday stays mild in the low 60s under mostly cloudy skies. A weak disturbance late Saturday could bring a few sprinkles, but most areas will stay dry. Sunday clears again, offering a crisp, cool end to the weekend with highs near 61°F and calm breezes — perfect for outdoor plans or Halloween cleanup.
Longer-range models suggest a colder trend developing after November 8, with early chances for frost or even a brief cold snap reaching northern Alabama by mid-month. No winter precipitation is on the horizon yet, but signs of a sharper temperature drop are beginning to appear in national models.
For now, the pattern holds steady — just enough rain to wet the ground before fall sunshine and cool air take over through the weekend.
