Huntsville, AL – Residents in Huntsville should prepare for a potentially stormy weekend as strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to impact the area from today through Sunday morning. According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, several rounds of storms are anticipated, bringing the threat of locally damaging winds reaching 60 MPH, small hail, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall.
The storms are expected to develop this afternoon and evening, continuing intermittently through Saturday and into early Sunday. The precise timing of these storms remains uncertain, so residents are urged to stay weather aware and keep updated through multiple sources.
Adding to the concern, NOAA weather radio transmitters in Arab and Cullman are currently out of service, meaning residents who typically rely on these channels will need to use alternative methods to receive warnings. The National Weather Service recommends tuning into the Huntsville or Fort Payne transmitters during this outage.
As temperatures are expected to peak at 94°F today with a 55% chance of rain, conditions will begin to cool slightly with highs in the low 90s over the weekend. Sunday is expected to clear, bringing a sunny day with a high of 72°F, signaling the arrival of a cold front. The week ahead looks calmer, with temperatures gradually decreasing into the mid-80s.
