Huntsville, Ala. – Stormy skies will linger over the Tennessee Valley through Thursday night, with scattered downpours and rumbles of thunder affecting evening commutes and outdoor plans. Temperatures will stay in the upper 80s to low 90s during the day, while muggy overnight lows hold in the low 70s.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, rain chances remain high Wednesday and Thursday, with coverage between 50% and 70% across Madison, Limestone, Morgan, and surrounding counties. A brief break in the pattern arrives Friday, as storms taper off and skies begin to clear.
Roadways may be slick during peak rainfall periods, and drivers are urged to slow down in heavy downpours to reduce hydroplaning risk. Outdoor workers and those with weekend plans should prepare for rapidly rising heat by Sunday, when highs reach the mid-90s and heat index values approach 100°. Staying hydrated and limiting strenuous activity during peak afternoon heat will be essential.
After the weekend warm-up, additional showers could develop east of I-65 on Sunday, but much of the region will stay dry until early next week.
