HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – A stretch of classic early fall warmth will grip North Alabama through Tuesday, with brief storms possible along the I-565 corridor before a midweek cooldown. Temperatures will stay near 85 degrees, but humidity and pop-up showers could make Tuesday afternoon feel more like late summer.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, a 30 to 50 percent chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop Tuesday and Wednesday, mainly during the afternoon and early evening hours. Some storms could produce brief downpours and lightning, especially across Madison, Limestone, and Morgan counties. Drivers along I-565 and U.S. 72 should stay alert for slick roads and brief visibility reductions.
By midweek, slightly cooler and drier air will return, keeping highs near 80 and nights dipping into the 60s. East to southeast winds may gust up to 20 mph at times, helping dry things out for fall yardwork and outdoor events.
Those setting up Halloween decorations or planning pumpkin patch trips will get favorable weather through late week. Outdoor workers and festival crews should, however, stay weather-aware on Tuesday when thunder chances peak. Secure lightweight decorations ahead of breezy intervals and plan indoor alternatives if storms approach.
Warm, sunny afternoons will dominate much of the week—ideal for fall foliage drives or local park visits—before cooler air settles in by next weekend.
