    Mornin'

    From AlabamaWX

    APRIL IN ALABAMA: This is the core of the spring tornado season in Alabama, and for the second Sunday in a row we have the threat of strong to severe thunderstorms across the state. A vigorous weather system will bring multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms to the Deep South; dynamically speaking this one is not as strong as the one last Sunday (we don’t expect 24 tornadoes tomorrow, like we experienced Easter Sunday), but still potent enough to bring a significant threat of severe weather.

    SPC maintains an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for roughly the southern 2/3 of the state, south of a line from Reform to Hoover to Talladega to Wedowee. A “slight risk” (level 2/5) is as far north as Sulligent, Oneonta, Gadsden, and Piedmont, and a low end “marginal risk” (level 1/5) runs up to Russellville, Decatur, and Fort Payne. No severe storms are expected north of the Tennessee River.

    [​IMG]

    TIMING: A morning round of storms is expected between 4 and 11 a.m. These storms will be generally along and north of a northward moving warm front, and will be capable of producing hail and strong winds. They should be elevated, and tornadoes are not expected during that time frame.

    [​IMG]

    Then, more thunderstorms are likely during the afternoon and evening hours, between 2pm and midnight. These storms that form south of the warm front will be surface based in unstable air. The pattern will be somewhat chaotic, and we can’t give specific arrival times for any one community. Just be aware that a storm is possible anytime during this 10 hour window.

    [​IMG]

    THREATS: During the morning storms, hail and strong winds are the threats. Then, Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. A strong tornado (EF-2 or higher) can’t be ruled out in the “enhanced risk”, especially over the southern half of Alabama.

    FLOODING: A flash flood watch is in effect for much of Central and South Alabama, where rain amounts of 2-4 inches are expected.

    [​IMG]

    CALL TO ACTION: You know the drill; be sure you have a way of hearing severe weather warnings, and an action plan if you are in a tornado warning polygon.

    Hey guys, long time no see. I need some help, I’m working on my girlfriend’s car because the AC isn’t blowing cold, so I tried adding refrigerant to the low pressure hose and it said 0psi on the gauge no matter how much I put in there. The compressor was spinning in the engine but I think there is a busted hose or something somewhere on it, it’s a 1995 Ford Taurus. Anyone know how to help me?

    What I mean is you got to have the vacuum pump to pull all the air out before adding the refrigerant
