HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – A veil of fog and mist drapes the Tennessee Valley this morning, softening headlights and dimming the edges of the hills east of town. Dew sparkles across pastures, and a light chill hangs in the air — the kind that hints at fall’s deepening grip. For now, the calm holds steady, but subtle changes are already on the horizon.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, the region will stay quiet and mild through Friday. Today’s high reaches near 69°F under full sunshine, while Thursday and Friday push closer to the low 70s. Skies remain clear, and winds stay light — ideal conditions for outdoor cleanup, early decorating, or midweek commuting. Nights will still cool sharply, with lows dipping into the mid-40s, especially across rural valleys and ridge tops.
By Saturday, clouds begin to edge in from the west ahead of a developing low-pressure system, signaling a wetter stretch ahead. Rain chances return Sunday, bringing scattered showers that could linger into early next week. While no severe weather is expected at this stage, models hint at heavier pockets of rain by Monday if Gulf moisture deepens.
To be fair, the next few days will feel nearly perfect for late October — brisk dawns, warm afternoons, and calm evenings. But as the weekend unfolds, keep an umbrella handy and an eye on the radar. The next change in Alabama’s fall rhythm is already on its way.
