Alabama thread!

Damn man prayers are with you and your family.

 

So glad Alabama doesn't have inspections

 

Yea Illinois never had any either where I used to live just emissions which all my cars ran like crap if the emissions systems were not working anyway. Stupid NC, nothing more than an extra annual tax.

 

Yes. 4.88

 

Picked up this Bauer band saw today at good ole HF and made a stand for it. Cutting metal is too fast now!

NICE WARM-UP: Temperatures are in the 25-35 degree range across Alabama early this morning, but with sunshine in full supply we project a high in the low 60s in most locations this afternoon. The average high for Birmingham on January 31 is 56.

Tomorrow will feature a partly sunny sky with a high in the mid 60s. Clouds will increase tomorrow night.

RAIN RETURNS: Wednesday will be a cloudy day with a high in the 60s; rain will likely move into the northern half of the state during the afternoon and evening hours. Then, on Thursday, the latest guidance suggests a decent part of the day could be dry with just a few scattered showers around. Temperatures will rise to near 70 degrees Thursday afternoon… it will be the warmest day of the week.

Rain and thunderstorms will move in Thursday night into Friday morning ahead of a cold front. For now severe storms are not expected, but the rain could be heavy at times. Rain amounts between Wednesday afternoon and Friday will be in the 2-3 inch range for much of the state. The rain will end over North Alabama Friday morning, but wet weather lingers over the southern counties of the state through Friday evening. Friday will be cooler with a high around 50 degrees.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Saturday looks like a mostly cloudy, cool day with a high in the low to mid 50s. There is some evidence a wave could bring in a little light rain Sunday, with the higher precipitation probabilities over the southern half of Alabama. Sunday’s high will be in the 50-55 degree range.

NEXT WEEK: Forecast confidence is not high next week as a complex southwest flow aloft will be in place across the state. Monday looks dry, but some risk of rain will likely return during the mid-week period; too early to be specific on amounts or timing. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



NORTH OF ALABAMA: A major winter storm will unfold this week from parts of North and West Texas to northern New England. Snow amounts of 8-12 inches are possible across parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, and freezing rain and ice issues are possible as far south as Arkansas and West Tennessee.



ON THIS DATE IN 1989: The barometric pressure at Norway, Alaska, reached 31.85 inches (1078.4 mb) establishing an all-time record for the North American Continent. The temperature at the time of the record was about 46 degrees below zero. The severe arctic cold began to invade the north-central U.S. The temperature at Grand Fall, Montana, plunged 85 degrees in 36 hours. Valentine, Nebraska plummeted from a record high of 70 degrees to zero in just nine hours. Northwest winds gusted to 86 mph at Lander WY, and wind chill readings of 80 degrees below zero were reported in Montana.

Almost time to cycle some stuff. Have to get a replacement heim sent to me since one was machined wrong and wouldn’t thread all the way in.

 

Ordered one yesterday actually!

 

You got me thinking crazy thoughts on the limo and it no longer being a limo.

 

Do it. There are so many people linking stuff it’s really not as intimidating as I thought. I’m having a harder time figuring out what to do with the fuel lines and exhaust. The space dictates a lot, but there’s plenty of room.

 

I'd keep the leafs. Just move the axle really far forward. Like I'm talking to the point of tubbing the cab.

 

I think I’d swap to an access cab at that point haha

 

No then I'd still make it even shorter like tires to the back of the cab and push the whole front suspension forward like 6" and end up around the 120ish WB.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ONE MORE NICE DAY: Temperatures will rise well into the 60s again today with a partly sunny sky. But, this will be the last dry day of the week, and clouds will thicken across the state tonight.

Rain will move into the state tomorrow as moisture surges northward from the Gulf of Mexico. Periods of rain will continue through tomorrow night. Then, on Thursday, we will maintain the chance of scattered showers, but another round of widespread rain is likely Thursday night into Friday morning. The best chance of rain will shift down into South Alabama by Friday afternoon.

Some thunder is possible, and SPC has introduced a low end “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms for Southwest Alabama. Storms there could produce strong gusty winds, but for most of Alabama severe storms are not expected.



Rain amounts of 1-3 inches are likely between tomorrow and Friday; some minor flooding issues could crop up, widespread flooding problems are not expected. The high tomorrow will be in the 58-62 degree range, followed by upper 60s Thursday. A few spots could touch 70 degrees Thursday afternoon… it will be the warmest day of the week. Much colder air returns Friday; some North Alabama communities will hover in the upper 30s and low 40s.

TO THE NORTH: A major winter storm will unfold from Texas northern New England over the next few days; heaviest snow will fall across parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana… freezing rain and ice accumulation is possible as far south as Arkansas and West Tennessee. This wintry precipitation will stay just north of Alabama.



THE WEEKEND: Saturday will be mostly cloudy but dry for the northern half of the state… any rain will be over the southeast counties. The high Saturday afternoon will be near, or just over 50 degrees. Then, we will bring in a chance of some light rain statewide Saturday night into Sunday morning. It isn’t totally out of the question for a few snow flakes over the northern third of the state Sunday morning with colder air in place, but for now no accumulation or impact is expected. Clouds will linger through the day Sunday with a high again around 50 degrees.

NEXT WEEK: For now much of next wee is looking dry with seasonal temperatures… highs mostly in the 50s and lows in the 30s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1955: Seen first as a “well-defined cone-shaped funnel” over the Mississippi River, this F3 tornado cut a path from Commerce Landing to Clark in northeastern Mississippi. This tornado killed 20 and injured at least 141 individuals. Most of the deaths were in a plantation school.

ON THIS DATE IN 1966: A snow/ice event was underway in Alabama. A period of freezing rain followed by light snow brought traffic to a complete standstill across North Alabama. Ice accumulations up to 1 inch downed numerous trees and caused power outages. A number of chicken houses in the northern part of the state collapsed under the weight of the ice and snow. Ice and snow accumulations varied widely with some of the highest amounts reported in the 1 to 3 inch range.

ON THIS DATE IN 2011: One of the most significant events of the 2010-2011 winter season affected a widespread region from Texas to the Midwest and Northeast from February 1st to 3rd 2011. The system produced widespread heavy snow with blizzard conditions and significant freezing rain and sleet to other locations. Snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 inches were common from northeast Oklahoma to lower Michigan. The storm produced 20.2 inches at Chicago, the third heaviest snowfall in the city since their records began in 1886, along with a peak wind of 61 mph.
