    Updates on Dorian. I fear there is nothing left of the Bahamas. If I remember right, Hurricane Michael's destruction of Panama City lasted a couple hours. Seeing first hand what a Cat 5 storm can do over a short amount of time I can't imagine what Dorian has done. Dorian has pummeled the Bahamas for more than 8 hours but is finally beginning to move.

    As for our local weather, hot and dry pattern sets in. Boooooooo

    DRY PATTERN: A very dry airmass will remain over Alabama this week; we are forecasting mostly sunny days and fair nights. A front will come through in dry fashion tomorrow night; there simply isn’t enough moisture to mention any significant chance of rain. Look for hot afternoons today and tomorrow; most communities will creep up into the mid 90s. Then, the high will be in the 89-92 degree range Thursday and Friday along with cooler nights; some of the cooler spots across North/Central Alabama will drop into the 50s early Friday morning.

    THE ALABAMA WEEKEND AND BEYOND: No real change Saturday and Sunday; expect a good supply of sunshine both days with a high around 90 degrees. Low over the weekend will be in the 65-70 degree range. And, most likely, dry weather continues through much of next week with little hope for a widespread rain event. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

    I feel ya on dealing with the heat. Did Scotty's shock relocation. Started at 8, but the heat started to build almost immediately. I'm still trying to rehydrate.

    It'll have an overhead shop fan and a fan in the wall to evacuate fumes but the AC will be limited to an office/ game room/ whatever area inside the shop. Don't want to deal with the bill.

    My 220V window unit does a decent job in my 25x25 without hurting my bill too much. I usually just turn it on when I go in to work. If its really hot, I'll give it an hour or so to cool down first. Its nothing like being in the house, but it definitely knocks the edge off. I've insulated the walls and garage door over the past two years and I'm planning to add a plywood 8' ceiling and insulate it soon.

    That is a good point. Could just run it when needed. How much would one of those 220 units run new?

    We got it at Home Depot during one of their summer sales. I think it was around $1,000 for one rated up to 1,000 sq. ft.

    I enjoy working in the sauna garage. Maybe I’m just crazy.

    Wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt with a welding hood can get rough during the summer though.

    Wait until you start pushing 40. Crawling around on the concrete in 100° heat will take its toll on you for days after.

    I wear Carhartt work pants, no blue jeans for me.

    I feel it the day after for sure. More the burnt spots on my arms and legs than anything though. Haha

    I think its b/c they were durable and cheap back when. I've replaced almost all of my jeans with carhartt pants. They wear better and clean easier without leaving many stains. From office work to the farm, same pants.
