Alabama thread!

FOGGY START FOR SOME: A dense fog advisory is in effect for parts of Central and Southwest Alabama early this morning; that fog will dissipate by mid-morning. Otherwise it is a calm morning across Alabama with very few showers on radar at daybreak. The sky will be occasionally cloudy today, with scattered showers and storms forming by midday, and continuing through the evening hours. Rain won’t be as widespread as recent days, and heat levels rise a bit with highs in the mid to upper 80s. The chance of any one spot seeing rain later today is 40-50 percent. But keep in mind where showers do form they will be efficient rain producers.

The weather won’t change much over the weekend. Partly sunny days with scattered showers and storms around, most active from around noon to midnight. Chance of any one location getting wet both days is 25-35 percent, and the high will be pretty close to 90 degrees as summer heat returns to the state. Very routine weather for late August in Alabama.

NEXT WEEK: We will stick with a persistence forecast through the week. Classic late summer weather with partly sunny days and “scattered, mostly afternoon and event showers and thunderstorms”. Highs will be in the upper 80s most days. It is still too early for a specific forecast for the Labor Day weekend, but we stress there is still no signal in global models of any high impact weather event for Alabama and the Central Gulf Coast region (Gulf Shores to Panama City Beach)… for now it looks like the typical mix of sun and scattered storms. See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: NHC continues to monitor two tropical waves this morning. The first one is over the eastern Caribbean Sea, and is producing minimal shower and thunderstorm activity. This system is expected to move westward at about 15 mph during the next several days, and environmental conditions could become more conducive for slow development when it moves across the central and western Caribbean Sea by early next week.

The other one is in the eastern Atlantic near and south of the Cabo Verde Islands… it is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions could support some slow development of this system through early next week while it moves westward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic at 15 to 20 mph.

The chance of development with both waves over the next five days is only 20 percent, and the rest of the Atlantic basin remains very quiet.



FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the high school games tonight, a few scattered showers will be around, mostly during the first half of the games. It won’t rain at every stadium, but I would take the rain gear just on case. Temperatures will be near 80 at kickoff, falling into the upper 70s during the second half.

Saturday, Jacksonville State will take on Stephen F. Austin at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery (2:30p CT kickoff on ESPN)… the sky will be partly sunny with some risk of a passing shower or storm during the game. Kickoff temperature near 89, falling back into the low 80s by the final whistle.

ON THIS DATE IN 1976: A weak tornado touched down briefly in the Hockley Hills near Kiana, AK, about 29 miles north of the Arctic Circle. This tornado is the most northerly report of a tornado on record. Kiana is 545 miles northwest of Anchorage, Alaska.

ON THIS DATE IN 1992: Andrew made a second landfall near Burns Point, LA as a Category 3 hurricane. Morgan City, LA recorded sustained winds of 92 mph with a peak gust of 108 mph. Hammond, LA was deluged with 11.92 inches of rain. As Andrew moved inland and weakened, it spawned 47 tornadoes from this date through the 28th from the South to the Mid-Atlantic States.

 

Moring Mike, I'm glad you're doing these weather reports again. I really missed them.

 

I have the same Auxbeam switch panel sitting in the shop. If I ever get around to building a power tray knock off to mount the main unit I plan on doing a bezel like yours.

 

Good morning! Summertime weather gets a little stale. Bout the the same every day lol. Unless there's a hurricane. Thankfully it's been quiet.

 

Howdy folks, how’s everybody been doing?

 

Good good! How are you

 

Fun at Hawk Pride

BENIGN LATE SUMMER WEATHER: Alabama’s weather looks fairly quiet this week; today will hot and humid with a few widely scattered showers or storms around this afternoon, much like yesterday. The high today will be in the low 90s in most places; it should be the hottest day of the week.

Scattered showers and storms will be a bit more active tomorrow afternoon and evening ahead of a surface front. The chance of any one spot seeing rain today is 15-25 percent, and 35-45 percent tomorrow. Most of the showers and thunderstorms will come from around noon to midnight.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: Drier air moves into the northern 2/3 of the state, and most communities will be dry Wednesday and Thursday. The sky will be mostly sunny both days with highs in the 87-90 degree range, and scattered showers will be confined to the far southern counties. Moisture returns northward Friday, and a few random, scattered showers and storms could form during the afternoon and evening hours. Friday’s high will be in the upper 80s.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND: We are forecasting very routine early September weather for the holiday weekend. Partly sunny days, fair nights, and a few pop-up afternoon and evening showers and storms each day. Of course, no way of knowing in advance exactly when and where they form in advance. The chance of any one spot getting wet daily is 30-40 percent, and most of the showers will come in the noon to midnight window. Afternoon highs Saturday through Monday will be in the mid to upper 80s, very close to seasonal averages.

Same situation along the Gulf Coast over the long weekend; about 6-8 hours of sunshine daily with a passing shower or thunderstorm from time to time.

NEXT WEEK: We will keep a persistence forecast going for the rest of the week with partly sunny days and scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms Tuesday through Friday. Highs will remain mostly in the mid to upper 80s… See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: NHC is monitoring several tropical waves; most of them have a low chance of any development. The main one to watch is in the central Atlantic; Invest 91L. It is a broad area of low pressure, and is producing a large area of disorganized cloudiness and showers.Although environmental conditions ahead of the system are currently only marginal favorable, some gradual development of this system is expected over the next several days and a tropical depression is likely to form later this week. The disturbance is forecast to move slowly toward the west and then west-northwest at 5 to 10 mph, toward the waters east and northeast of the Leeward Islands.

Based on the projected upper air pattern, this system will likely turn north, and then northeast before reaching the east coast of the U.S.



We stress there is NO risk of a tropical storm or hurricane in the northern Gulf of Mexico, or anywhere near the Central Gulf Coast (Gulf Shores to Panama City Beach) for at least the next 10 days.

ON THIS DATE IN 2005: Hurricane Katrina made its final landfall near the mouth of the Pearl River, with the eye straddling St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, and Hancock County, Mississippi, on the morning of August 29 at about 9:45 AM CT. It weakened from a category five to a category three at the time of landfall, but it still caused over 1,800 fatalities and $125 billion in damage, especially in the city of New Orleans and the surrounding areas.

Flooding, caused largely as a result of fatal engineering flaws in the levees around the city of New Orleans, precipitated most of the loss of lives. Eventually, 80% of the city, as well as large tracts of neighboring parishes, were inundated for weeks. The flooding also destroyed most of New Orleans’s transportation and communication facilities, leaving tens of thousands of people who had not evacuated the city prior to landfall stranded with little access to food, shelter, or other basic necessities.

The Gulf coast of Mississippi suffered extremely severe damage from the impact of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, leaving 238 people dead, 67 missing, and billions of dollars in damage: bridges, barges, boats, piers, houses, and cars were washed inland. Katrina traveled up the entire state; as a result, all 82 counties in Mississippi were declared disaster areas for federal assistance, 47 for full assistance.

 

sup fellas. Been sick all weekend and still sick. shut myself in my office at work.

 

Morning guys.

 

mornin!

 

If anyone is interested, I'm thinking about letting go of the AR10 project. It's an Aero M5 lower with enhanced upper, Aero LPK, Aero buffer kit, Elftmann trigger, PW ratchetting castle nut, Magpul k2+ grip, and I think 3 mags(20rd). Honestly, I will never shoot this gun as far as it's made for....impulse buy at it's finest

 

Sorry to hear bud, wife and me just got over our first go around of COVID last week. Hope you feel better!

 

Ended up with a new truck this weekend, so gonna hold off on mods till I decide what to do with her, 2022 Lunar Rock, MSRP and got $39k trade for my 2020 Cement, 5 hour drive, but I think it was worth it. Question, when I lived in Jersey and IL I always fluid filmed underneath, but it always creates a mess over time and honestly if I can get by without it now that I'm here in the South I wouldnt mind. Do you all treat yours?

 

Never treated a single vehicle. I also had a TJ for 9yrs....and they're known to rust just like Tacomas

 

Awesome, I figured as much, I do appreciate fluid film for what it does and is, but if I can avoid it on the new truck I'm game. I always felt bad when I was in for my free Toyotacare the techs dealing with it.

 

Rust isn't quite as bad here. We get more of the "patina" than cancer

 

I know I'm ceramic coating her just cause the ease of maintaining but I'm weighing out PPF, in AZ PPF was a must same with IL and all the salt/rock in the winter blasting. Just not sure its worth $900 and long term how it will hold up / look. Plus I swap trucks every couple years so there is that lol.

 

I'm not much on detailing, so I'm no help there I will occasionally go by the car wash and spray it down then use their wax

 

Thanks yea no fever just congestion and sneezing a lot. Sore throat too.
