Alabama — A cool, crisp pre-dawn sky stretches over Huntsville, with moonlight glinting softly off car roofs and damp lawns. Calm air wraps the city in a quiet stillness, though a mild south breeze soon stirs the leaves along neighborhood streets. The early chill feels gentle, not biting, offering a clear signal that the Deep South is easing into a warmer stretch before the next weather shift.
For residents heading out early, travel stays smooth with dry roads and excellent visibility. Light jackets work fine, but layers may come off quickly as temperatures surge into the low 70s. Anyone preparing for weekend events, leaf cleanup, or early holiday decorating will get ideal conditions—steady sunshine, light wind, and seasonably warm afternoons.
Saturday brings similar warmth, and to be fair, the pattern feels more like late October than mid-November. A few gusts may push across open fields, but hazards remain minimal. Huntsville’s Sunday stays bright as well, though clouds subtly thicken during the evening—a quiet early sign of the next weather maker.
By late Monday night, models hint at a Winter Tease, not through cold but through increasing moisture and the first meaningful rain chances in several days. A narrow window for showers and a few thunderstorms forms after midnight, continuing into Tuesday. No icy mix or snow chance appears this far south, but heavier pockets of rain may briefly slow commuters along I-565, Highway 231, and the Research Park corridor.
With Thanksgiving travel approaching, families should monitor Tuesday conditions closely. Rain may reduce visibility and create slick spots, especially during the morning rush. For now, warm air dominates, but the seasonal pendulum will keep swinging as November deepens.
