HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Low clouds and damp roads greet early risers across the Tennessee Valley as November arrives with a cool, unsettled edge. A few passing showers ripple through the region this morning, but brighter skies are already lining up just west of the Mississippi River — a signal of improving weather as the weekend unfolds.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, a light band of showers may linger into Sunday morning before drier air pushes south. Temperatures will climb to the low 60s today before cooling sharply Sunday night, with lows dipping into the upper 30s in rural Madison and Limestone Counties. Rainfall totals should stay light, but slick pavement and patchy fog may briefly slow early travel along I-565 and U.S. 72.
By Monday, sunshine returns in full, and daytime highs will hover near 63°F under calm skies — a pleasant reset for outdoor plans, leaf cleanup, or early holiday decorating. Winds remain light from the north through early week, helping reinforce that fresh, late-fall chill that often precedes the first frost deeper into November.
Forecasters note that while Alabama stays dry through midweek, colder air spilling across the central U.S. may reach north Alabama later in the week. Early signs point to a sharper cooldown after Wednesday, though no winter precipitation is expected yet. Residents should still prep for the season shift: protect plants, check car batteries, and set clocks back an hour Sunday at 2 a.m.
