Huntsville, Alabama – Afternoon plans across North Alabama could be drenched through Monday as a hot and humid airmass brings a daily threat of thunderstorms and heavy rain.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, the pattern begins today with scattered storms developing each afternoon, peaking between 2 and 8 p.m. Severe storms are not expected, but lightning and locally heavy rainfall will be common through at least Monday evening. Rain chances range from 50 to 90% daily.
Huntsville, Decatur, Athens, and surrounding areas—including Monte Sano State Park—should prepare for rapidly changing conditions, especially during outdoor activities. Roads may become slick during sudden downpours, and lightning poses a threat to hikers, park visitors, and anyone caught outside. NWS reminds residents: “When thunder roars, go indoors.”
Temperatures will remain seasonably warm with highs in the upper 80s and overnight lows in the upper 60s. The pattern is typical for early summer in North Alabama but may disrupt weekend travel and events.
