Huntsville Welcomes New Educational Weather Exhibit as Warm Easter Weekend Approaches
Huntsville is buzzing with excitement as the city prepares for a sunny and warm Easter weekend! Residents and visitors can look forward to delightful weather, with temperatures soaring into the mid to upper 80s this Saturday. Easter Sunday isn’t backing down either, promising a similar warmth with highs in the mid-80s and a friendly mix of sun and clouds. Just a heads up, though—there’s a small chance of a few stray showers later in the day on Sunday, so you might want to keep an umbrella handy, just in case.
As Huntsville gears up for the holiday, the city is also expecting near-record warmth, with a high of 85 degrees forecasted. This puts us right on the heels of the 90-degree record set back in 1971 on April 20. If you’ve got outdoor plans, now is the perfect time to gather your family and friends for some Easter festivities, enjoying the lovely weather while it lasts!
However, don’t get too comfortable just yet! A cold front is headed our way on Monday, bringing with it an increased chance for rain showers and potentially isolated storms. So while it’s a beautiful Easter weekend, make sure to keep an eye on the weather as we slip into next week.

This exciting exhibit opens on Monday and promises a fantastic opportunity for education and fun!
The exhibit features a whopping 30 interactive displays, live feeds, and sensory experiences that make learning about weather science engaging for all ages.

Get ready to dive into the science of weather and discover how these elements shape our daily lives!
For those thrill-seekers and curious minds, there’s even a walk-in tornado shelter where visitors can explore firsthand the dynamics of wind movement and learn how to read radar maps. This hands-on approach is an excellent way to grasp the intricacies of weather in a way that’s both educational and entertaining.
Meet the Meteorology Experts
Huntsville’s exhibit also includes contributions from local meteorologists who are excited to share their expertise. You’ll find information and presentations that illuminate the world of advanced radar technology, giving you a peek into how experts forecast the weather we experience every day.
The best part? Admission to the new exhibit is included with your ticket to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center! This is fantastic news for anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of weather phenomena while enjoying a day at one of Huntsville’s most iconic attractions.
