Huntsville, Ala. – North Alabama will see sunshine and rising heat through early next week, with highs pushing into the mid-90s by Monday and Tuesday. While a stray shower can’t be ruled out today, forecasters expect dry conditions to dominate the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, temperatures will climb from the upper 80s on Friday to the low and mid-90s by the start of the week. Lows will stay mild, ranging from the upper 50s into the mid-60s, offering only slight relief from the daytime heat.
Residents across Huntsville, Florence, and Scottsboro should prepare for extended hot afternoons, especially with mostly sunny skies amplifying heat stress. Outdoor workers and those attending football games or festivals are advised to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks in shaded areas.
Travelers along I-65 and Highway 72 will enjoy clear conditions, but heat buildup in vehicles remains a concern. Officials remind drivers never to leave children or pets in parked cars.
The warming trend is expected to hold until midweek, with more updates possible if heat advisories are issued.
