Alabama thread!

You're welcome. I like sharing the info.

I think the guys at the NHC do a really good job for sure in prediction/warning systems like this. It's just up to the public to listen. I guarantee twitter will be full of insults towards the weather folk saying they didn't know about Zeta. "I didn't know anything bout it t'all. I figured we'z just gone have a little wind."

 

You're right the information is there and they do the best they can. I still make fun of the weatherman though.

 

I can confirm this. It's windy and raining. Beautiful day at the office

 

@pdaddy you in rainy jasper today?

 

Dang I’ve been spotted Yea I’m here for today

 

They've upgraded all areas that were in a watch to a warning.

I mean, your roof ain't gonna blow off but your trash can might be in the neighbors yard with some trees down tomorrow. The quick, spin up tornado is a danger. You know it will be windy overnight tonight but nobody can predict the tornado side of this. That being said, remain weather aware and have multiple ways to get warnings overnight tonight.



NWS Birmingham has upgraded the Tropical Storm Watch to a Tropical Storm Warning for Autauga, Barbour, Bibb, Bullock, Calhoun, Chambers, Cherokee, Chilton, Clay, Cleburne, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore, Etowah, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Montgomery, Perry, Pike, Randolph, Russell, Shelby, St. Clair, Sumter, Talladega, Tallapoosa, and Tuscaloosa counties in Central Alabama from 7:00 pm this evening and expected to expire at 6:00 am Thursday.

 

Blessings on you getting the job!!!!

 

Madison isn't even listed. After 20 years here it is amazing how they have all passed either to the west or east of us. Western Louisiana has really had it bad this year (3 storms in the last few months, all CAT II at least).

 

Thanks John. Hopefully I hear something Friday.

 

That last one was NC back a few yrs ago forget which hurricane it was a big to do because of well the climate political demographic of the time pretty funny.

 

Just got the "we are shutting down and closed tomorrow" email . One good thing about storms lol

Some peak surge forecast I snagged from AlabamaWX

Mobile Bay…4-6 ft
Dauphin Island AL to AL/FL border…3-5 ft
AL/FL border to Navarre FL including Pensacola Bay…2-4 ft

 

Updated from AlabamaWX

ZETA NEARING LANDFALL: Hurricane Zeta, despite cooler shelf water and strong winds aloft, doesn’t want to weaken this afternoon. Sustained winds are 110 mph, and landfall comes shortly across Southeast Louisiana. The core remnant circulation will race through Alabama tonight.



ON THE COAST: Winds could gust to 90 mph over parts of Mobile County tonight; gusts to 75 mph are possible over Baldwin County. The storm surge on Dauphin Island is forecast to be 6-9 feet; a surge of 4-6 feet is expected for Mobile Bay, and 3-5 feet along the beaches of southern Baldwin County (Fort Morgan to Orange Beach).

A tornado watch is in effect for Southwest Alabama until midnight; a few isolated tornadoes and waterspouts are possible.



Rain amounts of 2-3 inches are likely on the Alabama Gulf Coast through tomorrow; a flash flood watch is in effect.

INLAND ALABAMA: A tropical storm warning is in effect for a large part of Alabama tonight as Zeta races through the state. There is potential for a high impact wind event with widespread tree and power line damage; expect numerous power outages tonight.



*For those in the tropical storm warning, expect sustained winds of 25-45 mph, with gusts to 65 mph.



For most of Central and East Alabama, the highest winds will come after midnight.



*For any one spot, the highest winds will last about 2-3 hours.

*The greatest concern will come from falling trees late tonight and during the pre-dawn hours tomorrow. If you live in a mobile home surrounded by pine trees, I would consider spending the night in a different place tonight.

*Plan now for power outages. Secure loose objects on your property.

*A few brief, isolated tornados are possible over East and South Alabama.



*Rain amounts over the next 24 hours will be in the 1-3 inch range; a flash flood watch is in effect for much of Alabama.

*The wind and the rain will subside early tomorrow morning, and the sky becomes partly sunny during the day tomorrow.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Friday will be mostly sunny and cooler with a high in the 60s; dry weather continues into the Halloween weekend with a good supply of sunshine both Saturday and Sunday. The high both days will be in the 68-72 degree range.

NEXT WEEK: Colder air arrives early in the week; highs drop into the upper 50s Monday, and lows will be in the 30s both Monday and Tuesday morning. Widespread frost looks likely early Tuesday, with potential for a freeze in the colder spots. We warm back into the low 70s by Thursday and Friday, and for now the week looks rain-free.
