From AlabamaWX

AFTERNOON SHOWERS: The radar is quiet across Alabama this morning, but random, scattered showers and thunderstorms will form this afternoon across the state. Odds of any one community seeing rain is 40/50 percent, and most of the showers will come from about 1:00 until 10:00 p.m. There could be a rumble of thunder in spots, but there is no risk of severe storms…. the high will be in the mid to upper 80s.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Moisture will deepen tomorrow, and a few passing showers and thunderstorms are likely. It won’t rain all day, and the best chance of rain will come during the afternoon and evening hours. With a limited amount of sun we expect a high in the mid 80s. Then, on Sunday, with a mix of sun and clouds we will have scattered showers and storms around during the day, especially by afternoon. The high Sunday afternoon will be stay in the mid 80s. Chance of any one spot getting wet tomorrow is 60/70 percent, and 40/50 percent Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: Scattered showers and storms remain possible Monday and Tuesday; then the weather trends drier Wednesday through Friday with showers becoming fewer in number. Highs through the week will be in the 80s, with lows in the upper 60s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

TROPICS: This morning we have two tropical storms, and two three tropical waves to discuss across the Atlantic basin.

*A trough of low pressure is located over the north-central Gulf of Mexico this morning. Although the associated shower and thunderstorm activity has diminished since last night, some slow development of this system is possible while it moves westward and then southwestward over the northern and western Gulf of Mexico through early next week. This won’t have much impact on Alabama or the Central Gulf Coast as it moves away from the region. NHC is giving this one only a 20 percent chance of development.

*A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms extending from near the Central and Northwest Bahamas eastward over the western Atlantic for a few hundred miles is associated with a surface trough of low pressure. This system is forecast to move westward, crossing the Bahamas and Florida today and moving into the eastern Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. Upper-level winds are expected to become conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form while this system moves slowly west-northwestward over the eastern Gulf of Mexico early next week. NHC is giving it a 50 percent chance of becoming a depression or storm.

This system, Invest 96L, will likely bring an increase in rain activity to the Central Gulf Coast by Sunday and into early next week, and potential for dangerous rip currents. For the area from Gulf Shores to Panama City Beach, no doubt there will be periods of rain with this feature for a few days, but understand it won’t rain all day, and you should see the sun at times if you have a beach trip planned. Hard to forecast the amount of rain for any specific point right now since the wave is very disorganized, but we will keep a close eye on it.

*A wave in the far eastern Atlantic (95L) has a high chance of becoming a tropical depression or storm over the next five days, but it remains to be seen if it will impact the U.S. or any land mass. It is a long way away; just something to watch for now.

*Tropical Storm Paulette has sustained winds of 65 mph this morning, and is forecast by NHC to be a category one hurricane near Bermuda Monday night. Then, it turns east/northeast out to sea… no threat to the U.S.

*Tropical Storm Rene is forecast to loop around in the Atlantic, far from land, over the next five days. Very little threat to land.

The next names for tropical storms are Sally, Teddy, Vicky, and Wilfred. Then, we go to the Greek Alphabet.

ON THIS DATE IN 2001: Hurricane Erin was off the coast of New Jersey and New York on this day. A cold front kept Hurricane Erin from drawing closer to the United States, which likely would have affected both weather and air travel in New York and Boston as airlines prepared for a potential strike from a formidable hurricane.

Adverse weather that morning would have been the butterfly effect in action… one small change in the starting conditions could have had a dramatic impact on the end result. A simple, lingering batch of rain or clouds, or even the effects of Hurricane Erin in New York City and Boston on September 11, 2001, could have changed both history and the world as we know it.

Anyone happen to have a Tacoma size toolbox they want to get rid of? Preferably a low profile slim one.

I’m going to replace mine with a Cam Locker box this fall. I’ll sell you mine if you’re interested. The struts are worn out in them and will need to be replaced.

Mornin' Murph! Cam Locker doesn't make an angled bottom truck box like UWS does. From the looks of it, the Cam locker will have less storage space than my UWS. And my UWS is already full with survival, recovery and emergency gear.

I've been considering one for a full size truck when I get one. Friend of mine is a dealer and I can get one for $5 above their cost (cost of shipping for them).

I had a toolbox on my 1st gen with the angled sides. It's was ok, just wish they had more room in them.

I under geared the first time so i dont want you to make same mistake lol. You'd be surprised at how well the truck will perform once you regear. My truck would be undrivable if i didn't regear lol.

No I sure dont wanna undergear and do this twice, I regeraed my old 4cyl tp 5.29 and it was amazing i know this could be better. Im worried if I did 4.88 id be overgeared and have to move to 35, I should just learn to be happy with these 285. What brand gear did you go with? I had motive but may get nitro.
