Huntsville, AL — A quiet and slightly warmer Saturday is setting the stage for a much wetter stretch of weather across North Alabama, according to the National Weather Service in Huntsville. Today will be dry and breezy with highs in the lower 50s, offering a brief break before rain returns tonight.
Moisture increases after sunset, with scattered showers developing late this evening—mainly across northwest Alabama. Lows will fall into the upper 30s to lower 40s.
Sunday brings the first of several wet days. Widespread rain is expected, especially during the afternoon and evening, with rain chances ranging from 40% to as high as 70%. Highs will remain cool in the upper 40s to near 50 degrees. Overnight temperatures drop sharply behind the rain, with many locations falling into the low to mid-20s by early Monday morning. Subfreezing temperatures could create slick spots on elevated surfaces.
Another round of rain arrives Monday with a 20–40% chance of showers and highs mid-40s to near 50. It won’t be an all-day washout, but off-and-on showers are possible through the afternoon and evening.
The heaviest rainfall of the week is expected Tuesday morning as a more organized system moves through the region. Rain chances jump to 60–90%, and widespread wet conditions may impact the morning commute. Highs stay chilly, reaching only the mid-40s. Tuesday night brings another plunge into the mid-20s, marking the second night of subfreezing temperatures this week.
Rainfall totals from Sunday through Tuesday could be beneficial for ongoing drought areas across North Alabama.
