Huntsville, Alabama – A cool, calm morning settles over north Alabama as thin clouds drift across a quiet sky and early commuters roll over dry pavement. The air feels crisp but mild, offering one more steady start before a wetter pattern arrives ahead of early Thanksgiving travel.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, today stays mostly sunny with highs in the mid-70s and a gentle south wind gusting near 20 mph. Clouds increase tonight as moisture from the Gulf begins to move inland. A few showers may form after midnight, giving the first hint of the shift coming later this week.
Wednesday brings partly sunny skies with another unseasonably warm afternoon near 79 degrees. Calm winds early will turn breezy later in the day as moisture deepens and the atmosphere primes for rain chances returning Thursday. By Wednesday night skies turn mostly cloudy with temperatures holding in the upper 50s.
Thursday marks the day of most concern for holiday travelers. A chance of showers develops after noon, followed by more widespread rain and scattered thunderstorms into the evening. While severe weather signals remain low, any heavier cell could produce brief gusts and pockets of reduced visibility along I-565, Memorial Parkway, and U.S. 72—key travel corridors for families beginning Thanksgiving trips.
Friday keeps showers likely, and some thunder remains possible before conditions improve late in the day. Roads may stay damp into Friday evening, but drier air should arrive by Saturday. The weekend trends cooler but manageable, giving residents a window for errands, yard work, and early decorating before Thanksgiving week begins in full.
