Huntsville, AL – Residents across northern Alabama should prepare for scattered showers and thunderstorms continuing through Friday, before drier and cooler weather arrives just in time for the weekend.
According to the US National Weather Service in Huntsville, a passing front will keep rain chances elevated Thursday and Friday, with storm coverage between 20% and 40%. Most of the activity is expected to be non-severe, though heavy rainfall remains the primary concern. High temperatures will range from the upper 70s to low 80s, with lows dipping into the upper 50s to low 60s.
By Saturday, storm chances diminish to about 10–20%, setting the stage for a much drier pattern. Sunday’s forecast calls for only a slight chance of rain, with highs warming into the low-to-mid 80s and overnight lows near 60 degrees. Forecasters note this shift will bring more seasonable late-September weather to the region.
The weather service encourages residents to stay alert for changing conditions, especially during periods of heavy rainfall today and Friday. While widespread flooding is not expected, locally heavy downpours may cause brief travel delays and ponding on roads.
