Alabama – Breath hangs in the air across north Alabama as temperatures sit below freezing around daybreak. Pavement feels cold underfoot, and headlights cut through lingering clouds as Huntsville starts the morning near 29 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service, clouds thicken quickly through the morning with rain developing by midday. Showers become widespread this afternoon, with rainfall totals ranging from a half inch to nearly three-quarters of an inch. Temperatures rise into the mid-50s, but the warming comes with wet roads and increasing wind.
In Huntsville, the timing matters for drivers. Rain intensifies through the afternoon and continues into the evening before tapering off. Gusty southwest winds shift northwest later today, occasionally topping 20 mph. Expect reduced visibility and slick conditions along Memorial Parkway, I-565, and elevated bridges. Plan extra time if traveling during peak hours.
Clouds linger Wednesday, and cooler air settles back in. Highs struggle into the low 40s while northwest winds keep the air feeling brisk. By Wednesday night, temperatures fall into the low 20s. Any leftover moisture could refreeze after sunset, creating isolated slick spots.
Conditions improve Thursday as sunshine returns. Highs rebound near 40, then climb steadily heading into Friday. Clear skies and lighter winds help temperatures reach the upper 50s, signaling a noticeable shift toward milder February weather.
The weekend looks quieter and warmer. Sunshine dominates, and highs reach the mid-50s Saturday and near 60 by Sunday. Longer-range outlooks continue to hint at above-normal temperatures heading into late next week, a sign that winter may loosen its grip.
