Huntsville, Alabama – Daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms will linger across northern Alabama through Friday, keeping outdoor plans in flux and roads slick during the afternoon commute hours. Storm chances may be isolated at first but are expected to increase midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, storm coverage will range from 10% today to as high as 40% on Thursday and Friday. Daytime highs are climbing from the upper 70s and low 80s today into the upper 80s and near 90 degrees by the end of the workweek, pushing heat indices higher and adding to the discomfort.
Localized downpours and brief gusty winds could impact areas like Decatur, Scottsboro, and the Bankhead National Forest region, where wet trails and muddy conditions could persist through the week. Motorists should be alert for ponding on roadways during heavier rain bursts and avoid flooded low-lying routes.
