Huntsville, AL – Residents across North Alabama should prepare for a chilly night as a Freeze Watch remains in effect from midnight to 8 a.m. Saturday. Temperatures are expected to drop as low as 31 degrees, potentially endangering sensitive plants and posing risks for outdoor activities.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, clear skies and calm winds will contribute to freezing conditions overnight. Drivers on I-565 and other major roadways should remain cautious of patchy frost, particularly during early morning hours. Local residents are encouraged to cover plants, check on vulnerable neighbors, and ensure outdoor pets are brought inside.
Saturday will bring relief with sunny skies and highs near 57 degrees. Calm winds will make the day feel more pleasant for outdoor plans. By Sunday, a warming trend will begin, with highs climbing to the mid-60s under partly cloudy skies.
Looking ahead to Thanksgiving week, rain chances increase starting Monday evening, with showers likely through midweek. Highs will remain in the 60s, though overnight lows may dip into the 40s, requiring layered clothing for early travelers.
Thanksgiving Day itself could see scattered thunderstorms, but warmer conditions should prevail. Those traveling should monitor weather updates closely to avoid disruptions caused by wet roads.
Stay prepared and stay warm as North Alabama braces for this weekend’s first freeze, and be sure to take precautions for loved ones, pets, and plants.
