Huntsville, AL – Very cold conditions are expected to grip North Alabama early this week, with freezing and near-freezing temperatures forecast for multiple mornings, potentially impacting travel, pets, and vulnerable residents.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, the coldest period is expected Monday and Tuesday mornings, when overnight lows could dip into the teens and lower 20s across the Tennessee Valley. Daytime highs will remain chilly, ranging from the upper 30s to low 40s through Tuesday.
Forecast graphics released Sunday afternoon show Monday lows between 13 and 18 degrees, with highs only reaching the upper 30s to low 40s. Tuesday follows a similar pattern, with lows in the low to mid-20s. Wind chills during the early morning hours may make temperatures feel even colder.
By Wednesday, conditions are expected to moderate slightly, with highs near 48 to 50 degrees and lows around 30 to 34 degrees. Rain chances of 50–60% are possible Wednesday evening, which could create damp and uncomfortable conditions but no winter precipitation is currently forecast. Thursday temperatures are expected to remain cool, with highs in the mid-to-upper 40s.
The Weather Service recommends residents dress in warm layers, limit time outdoors, and keep pets indoors, especially overnight. Officials also advise keeping flammable items away from space heaters and checking on elderly family members and neighbors who may be more vulnerable to the cold.
North Alabama counties including Madison, Limestone, Morgan, and Jackson, along with the greater Huntsville metro area, are expected to feel the coldest impacts during the early morning hours.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and prepare for cold mornings through midweek.
