Huntsville, Alabama – A damp and stormy start to the week is expected across northern Alabama, where showers and thunderstorms could cause localized flooding through Tuesday night, particularly in the Huntsville area. With already saturated ground from weekend rain, even brief downpours may lead to ponding on roads and low-lying spots.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, thunderstorms are most likely through early Monday afternoon and again Tuesday, with scattered showers expected during the evenings. Rain chances hover between 40% and 60%, especially Monday night through Tuesday night. Highs will remain mild, near 81°F through Tuesday, with calm to light southeast winds.
Huntsville, Madison, and surrounding counties—including parts of Limestone and Morgan—should be on alert for possible lightning, slick roads, and minor delays during morning and evening commutes. Flash flooding isn’t widespread but could occur in areas with poor drainage. Drivers are advised to reduce speed in heavy rain and avoid travel through standing water.
The threat begins to ease by Wednesday, when storms become more scattered. A drier, warmer pattern will return late week, with highs climbing back into the upper 80s and low 90s by Friday and Saturday.
