Alabama begins this Monday under mild sunshine, but darker skies are already lining up behind it. The calm start hides a developing pattern that could bring strong storms, heavy rain, and gusty winds to north Alabama before the week ends.
Today stays mostly sunny and mild across Huntsville, with highs between 60 and 64 degrees. Clouds increase later tonight, and drizzle or light rain returns into Tuesday morning. Roads may stay damp, but impacts remain limited early.
Temperatures climb steadily through midweek. Tuesday warms into the low to mid-60s, followed by near 70 degrees Wednesday as a warmer, moisture-rich air mass moves north. The air begins to feel heavier by Wednesday afternoon, signaling what’s next.
By Thursday, meteorologists are closely monitoring a return of widespread showers with 30–50% rain chances. Winds strengthen significantly, even outside storms. Gusts could reach 20 to 30 mph, enough to blow around loose outdoor items and make driving more difficult for high-profile vehicles.
The main concern builds Thursday night into Friday. Increasing moisture and instability raise the risk for heavy rainfall and strong to potentially severe storms. While details are still being refined, localized flooding and damaging winds are possible if storms organize. Residents should stay weather-aware and review severe weather safety plans.
Friday remains warm, with highs near 70 degrees, but conditions may turn unsettled quickly if storms develop. Rain chances remain elevated into the end of the workweek.
What to do now:
Secure outdoor items ahead of Thursday’s winds. Monitor updates if you have travel or outdoor plans late week. Keep alerts enabled as confidence increases.
