Fog drapes the Tennessee Valley this morning, blurring headlights and muting sunrise over Huntsville as temperatures hover in the low 40s. The damp chill in the air and a faint breeze from the north make for a true early-December feel — the kind that calls for an extra layer on the morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, skies will remain mostly cloudy today with highs near 44°F. Winds from the north at 5 to 10 mph may gust up to 20 mph before easing by evening. As skies clear, temperatures will plunge toward 27°F, allowing widespread frost formation across Madison County and surrounding areas.
Tuesday marks a change, with sunshine returning and highs near 51°F. The pattern holds steady through Thursday as mostly sunny skies and light winds dominate. By midweek, highs climb toward 57°F, offering a brief stretch of comfortable afternoons — perfect for holiday errands or outdoor work before cooler air returns late week.
Meteorologists say this quiet stretch won’t last forever. Another cold front may arrive by the weekend, potentially pulling temperatures back into the low 40s with freezing nights — a reminder that winter’s grip is just starting to tighten across the Southeast.
