Alabama thread!

I really don't like the timing on this for East Alabama. I've seen 3pm to 1am and I've also seen 5pm to 6am. It's weird I can't find a definitive answer yet. Usually by now, they are all consistent.

 

Here's some more info. Might be repeating a few things

From AlabamaWX

TODAY WILL BE THE QUIET BEFORE THE STORMS
After a chilly start across Central Alabama with temperatures starting off in the mid-30s to the lower 40s, we’ll have a very pleasant Saturday. Skies will be mostly clear during the daylight hours and afternoon highs will top out in the lower to mid-70s across the area. Clouds will be on the increase as we lose daylight and we’ll end up with mostly cloudy skies with showers and a few thunderstorms moving in around midnight. These thunderstorms will be elevated and the overall risk for severe weather is very low, but a strong storm is possible with small hail being the main threat. Lows bottom out in the 50s.

POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SEVERE WEATHER EVENT ON EASTER SUNDAY
A strong surface low with an accompanying cold front will be approaching the area to start the day on Sunday while a warm front will be moving northward from the Gulf Coast and will eventually move completely across Central Alabama. As the warm front passes over and moves north of the area, the atmosphere will become highly unstable and primed for severe storms.

The Day 2 Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center released earlier at 1:00 am keeps a MODERATE RISK for severe storms (level 4 out of 5) for nearly all of the western half of the state and crossing over the I-65 corridor into the east-central parts. The rest of the state remains in an ENHANCED RISK for severe storms (level 3 of 5).

The latest run of the high-resolution NAM (00z) shows that there is the potential of surface-based instability values will be high, well over 1000 J/kg and nearly reaching 2000 J/kg by 10:00 pm. At the same time, shear will be maxing out up into the 60-80 knot range. Helicity values will be well more than sufficient for rotating storms, maxing out at over 600 m2/s2 in parts of the area. Lapse rates will also be rather steep, reaching nearly 7.0ºC/km. When combining all of those ingredients together, you will get a Significant Tornado Parameter with values reaching as high as 13.0 in the area.



With all of that said, we are looking for the potential of tornadoes, some of which may be stronger to violent long-track tornadoes, damaging winds up to and exceeding 70 MPH, and hail up to golf ball size in diameter. The 00z NAM sounding for the Birmingham metropolitan area shows the potential hazard as PDS Tornado, with the PDS standing for Particularly Dangerous Situation.

Timing of the threat of severe storms across the area will start around 2:00 pm on Easter Sunday and will continue through the rest of the day and will come to an end around Monday at 2:00 am. We’ll have multiple waves move through the area during that time, mostly in the form of supercellular structures before the main squall line pushes through later in the night and into the overnight hours. We’ll have to watch for any rogue storms that form out away from any clusters as these will be the ones with the potential of spawning the higher-end tornadoes.

All of these storms will be fast movers, so you will need to be alert to the weather throughout Easter Sunday, especially late into the day. Be prepared to act if a warning is issued for your location. You have a full day to make sure your severe weather safety kits are replenished and you have your plan of safety ready to act. Get that completed today because trying to do that on Sunday may be too late… especially with most places closing so that employees can spend time with their families. Turn on those WEAs, get fresh batteries in your Weather Radios, and download your favorite weather app that alerts you when your location goes under a warning. Have multiple ways of receiving warnings and do not rely on outdoor sirens.

 

Im down, but it would have to be monday or tuesday. To much going on this weekend. I know the slab quite well.

 

Monday or Tuesday sounds good to me!

do you know where? It’s best to stay off a lot of the property back there.

 

Good morning guys, hard to beat a cup of coffee before another home workout

 

@Brian422 @tweakit88 I pulled one out of your books and relocated awning to bed rack.

 

Looks good man! I like it there! Think it’s more functional!

 

We ran some of the harder sections! Pretty good!

 

Finally got my switch panel installed. Pain in the butt but it’s done. Running lights not working . Turn signals and lights come in when I switch my lights on so I’m thinking it’s a fuse?

anyway good thing about being home on you bday is mom makes you birthday brownies!

 

Happy birthday brotha!

 

Thanks Jonny!

 

Happy Birthday @Brian422

 

Happy bday man!

 

Happy birthday Brian

 

Looks good man. My awnings on my trailer rack, but its still a rack lol.

 

Finally got my mid skid put on after sitting in the garage, had to beat the cross member flat on one side hence the dirt must’ve hung it up some time.

 

Thank you!

 

Thanks Matt!
