    Mornin' Everybody. :pccoffee:

    You can probably guess the forecast but here it is anyway.

    CLASSIC SUMMER PATTERN CONTINUES THIS WEEK: This is a new day, but we have an old forecast to deliver. We start the day with a mostly sunny sky this morning, but during the afternoon and evening hours, random, scattered showers and thunderstorms will form in the moist, unstable airmass. Most of them will come from 1:00 until 9:00 p.m… and odds of any one spot getting wet are around 30 percent. The high will be in 89-92 degree range for most communities.

    REST OF THE WEEK: No real change through Friday. Hot humid days with a mix of sun and clouds, and the risk of a passing afternoon shower or storm in spots. Colder air aloft could mean afternoon storms will be a little more numerous by Thursday and Friday, but the overall idea remains the same. The chance of any one place seeing rain will be in the 30/40 percent range, with highs in the low 90s.

    THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The primary jet stream will remain well to the north, and we will roll with a persistence forecast. Partly sunny days, fair nights, and scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Highs will remain generally in the low 90s.

    NEXT WEEK: No sign of any real change; our routine summer weather will continue through the week. Highs low 90s, a few showers and storms around in scattered spots during the peak of the daytime heating process. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

    TROPICS: The Atlantic basin remains very quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected this week.

    Make sure to calculate the amount you get saved on taxes for your truck vs selling out right. Sometimes if the amounts are close enough I’d avoid the headache and trade in.

    I'm so jealous. 10 hours every day sucks. I need somewhere with better hours. 7-5 looking at a computer screen tires me out more than working outside.

    just a different kind of tired. I get a decent mix, and will get an even better mix at Boeing, of at the desk and not at the desk.

    I used to do landscaping for 12-14 hours a day and I was physically tired but 8 hours at a desk makes me mentally tired.

    I honestly like how I do it at home. Design something on the computer in my pajamas on the couch and then build it the next day. Wish I could that full time and make the same as I do now.
