Huntsville, Alabama – Afternoon storms are adding extra challenges to the first week back at school in Huntsville, with heat climbing into the upper 80s and low 90s and a daily chance of showers that could slow down bus routes and school pickups through Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, a pattern of isolated thunderstorms will continue each afternoon, carrying a 20–40% chance of rain through the weekend. Highs are set to hover between 84 and 91 degrees, while overnight lows will settle in the upper 60s to low 70s across Madison County and nearby cities like Decatur and Athens. While most storms will remain scattered and brief, any thunderstorm could bring heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and slick road conditions right around dismissal times.
Parents should keep an umbrella handy, check for potential weather-related school delays, and avoid leaving children or pets in parked cars as humidity climbs. If thunder roars, get indoors—especially during afternoon activities or after-school sports.
