Alabama – Bright sunshine is quickly warming Huntsville this morning, but that calm, crisp start will give way to a more active spring pattern heading into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures climb to 83°F today under clear skies, with calm winds shifting lightly by afternoon. Conditions stay stable through today and into early Thursday, offering a brief stretch of quiet weather.
Across Madison County, roads like I-565, Memorial Parkway, and US-72 remain dry and easy for the morning commute. Still, warming air and increasing moisture are early signals that changes are coming. By Thursday, highs again reach 83°F with continued dry conditions during the day.
Storm chances begin to creep in Friday afternoon, with a 20% chance of scattered showers after 1 p.m. The bigger concern arrives later Friday night, when rain chances jump to 80%. Showers and thunderstorms could develop quickly, bringing bursts of heavy rain and lightning that may reduce visibility on major routes.
Meteorologists are now tracking a broader system pushing east from the Plains. While severe storms are not guaranteed, a few stronger cells could produce gusty winds or brief downpours. Stay alert Friday night if traveling.
The weekend remains unsettled. Saturday carries a 70% chance of showers, especially after midday, with highs cooling to 77°F. Saturday night brings a 30% chance of lingering rain. Sunday improves slightly, but a 20% chance of showers remains with highs near 82°F.
Plan ahead for changing conditions. Keep devices charged and allow extra time on wet roads.
