HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Wet streets glisten under early morning clouds as light rain taps across rooftops and parked cars in Madison County. A cool breeze rolls through, carrying the scent of damp leaves — a gentle reminder that fall in North Alabama is far from finished.
The National Weather Service in Huntsville expects scattered rain through midmorning, followed by gradual clearing and calmer skies this afternoon. Rain chances stay near 70% early, then fade quickly by late morning. North winds will usher in drier air, holding temperatures near 54°F, before skies begin to clear overnight. Drivers along I-565 and U.S. 72 should allow extra time this morning for slick pavement and patchy fog as visibility briefly lowers during heavier showers.
By Monday, sunshine takes over with highs climbing into the mid-60s, and by Tuesday, a full warm-up brings highs near 70°F. The pattern looks steady through Thursday, featuring sunny skies, light breezes, and ideal conditions for outdoor projects or early holiday travel planning.
Wednesday and Thursday will feel more like late October than early November, with afternoon highs in the low 70s and cool, comfortable evenings in the 40s. A weak front may brush the region by Friday, introducing a few clouds but little rainfall.
After a damp start, North Alabama will enjoy a golden stretch of mild, dry weather — perfect for leaf cleanup, hiking, or taking in those last vibrant colors of fall before colder air hints at its return later this month.
