Alabama Weather Alert: Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms Expected Across North Alabama Today

HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA — Residents across North Alabama should prepare for a wet and stormy day as heavy rain and scattered thunderstorms move through the region, forecasters said early Tuesday.

The U.S. National Weather Service in Huntsville issued a weather alert for possible localized flooding, especially in areas with poor drainage and near creeks and low-lying roadways. Rain chances are expected to remain high throughout the day, with probabilities ranging from 40 to 75 percent across the region.

What to Expect Today

Meteorologists say showers and storms will continue through the afternoon and evening, potentially impacting commuters during rush hour.
Brief downpours could reduce visibility on highways, particularly in northwest Alabama and southern middle Tennessee.

“Drivers should use caution and allow extra time for travel this afternoon,” forecasters warned, noting that even short bursts of heavy rain could lead to ponding on roads and hydroplaning hazards.

Temperatures and Midweek Outlook

Despite the rain, temperatures will stay mild, with highs ranging from 79 to 84°F and overnight lows in the mid-60s.
A few lingering showers may persist into Wednesday morning, but drier and cooler conditions are expected to settle in by Thursday.

The extended forecast shows sunny skies and pleasant fall temperatures returning by the weekend. Highs are expected to stay in the low to mid-70s through Saturday, while overnight lows will dip into the low 50s, providing a crisp start to the weekend.

Looking Ahead

By Friday and Saturday, forecasters expect clear skies and light winds, marking a calm end to the week following Tuesday’s storms.
Weather officials continue to monitor radar conditions closely and advise residents to stay updated on any potential changes.

Residents are urged to:

• Avoid driving through flooded areas.
• Monitor official National Weather Service alerts.
• Secure outdoor items that could be affected by gusty winds.
