Alabama thread!

I’m a good influence haha

 

I also don’t have a locker

 

From AlabamaWX.....yesterday afternoon

COOLER OVER THE WEEKEND: Temperatures are in the low to mid 80s across much of Alabama this afternoon, but a dry cold front passing through this evening will drop temperatures about ten degrees over the weekend. Look for highs in the 72-76 degree range, and lows well down in the 40s by early Sunday morning. Colder spots across North Alabama will likely visit the 30s for the first time this season. The air remains dry and we will see sunny days and clear nights.

NEXT WEEK: Dry weather continues Monday and Tuesday with a warming trend; highs rise into the low 80s by Tuesday and Wednesday. An approaching cold front will bring a chance of badly needed rain to Alabama Wednesday night and Thursday… rain amounts won’t be too heavy, however, with amounts mostly under 1/2 inch. But, at least it will settle the dust in most places. Cooler, drier air returns Friday.



Some notes on the dry conditions (based on data at Birmingham)…

*Today is the 12th consecutive day with no measurable rain.
*Our last measurable rain was on September 25, but the amount was only 0.03″.
*We have gone without measurable rain on 26 of the last 27 days.
*The last day with over one tenth of an inch of rain came on September 4, when the total was 1.55″.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: Another delightful evening for high school football games across the state tonight; the sky will be clear with temperatures falling into the 60s.

Auburn travels to Athens tomorrow to take on the Georgia bulldogs (2:30p CT kickoff)… the sky will be sunny; about 75 degrees at kickoff, falling to near 70 by the final whistle. UAB has a home game in downtown Birmingham tomorrow at Protective Stadium against Middle Tennessee (also a 2:30p CT kickoff)… it will be sunny afternoon with temperatures falling from around 73 degrees at kickoff into the upper 60s by the final whistle.

Then, tomorrow night Alabama hosts Texas A&M (7p CT kickoff) at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa; the sky will be clear with temperatures falling from 67 degrees at kickoff into the 50s by the fourth quarter. A perfect night for football.

TROPICS: Tropical Storm Julia has formed in the Caribbean… headed for Nicaragua with landfall coming Sunday morning as a category one hurricane. After landfall, the track guidance currently indicates that Julia and its remnants should remain over Central America and southern Mexico through Tuesday.

Too early to know if any remnant circulation will be around to emerge into either the Pacific or the Bay of Campeche. Most likely the system dissipates over land.



The rest of the Atlantic basin is very quiet.

ON THIS DATE IN 2018: Only 8 hours after becoming a depression, the National Hurricane Center upgraded the system to Tropical Storm Michael. Tropical storm force winds and torrential downpours were affecting portions of the coastal east-central Yucatan Peninsula. Michael would go to to become a category five hurricane with landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida a few days later.

 

Mornin y’all. I’m still alive, just busy.

Any good recommendations for highway tires? I’ve put over 55,000 on my Taco in exactly 2 years and need some new shoes.

 

Posting here first. I have a used set of 285/75R/16 BFG KO2’s for sale. Asking $450.

 

When we going camping!?

 

Where are you going camping?

 

We booked a spot at Clear Creek in Jasper next weekend.

 

Anyone interested?

 

That's a pretty good bend there fam.

When I did my front end I notched out the horns and frenched in a OEM main hitch bar, used 1/4" A36 for horn faces then added 1/4" 45 gussets, behind that tying it all together.







Been thinking about making and selling the 45's but dunno if there'ed be any buyers interested in welding them on and anyone whom would I'm sure could make their own.

Irregardless that 1/8" front horn face is a joke for mounting a winch bumper to.

ANOTHER COLD START: Here are some temperatures across Alabama just before sunrise…

Oneonta 34
Scottsboro 37
Gadsden 38
Meridianville 38
Cullman 39
Decatur 39
Pell City 39
Talladega 40
Cottondale 40
Anniston 42
Birmingham 45
Montgomery 46
Tuscaloosa 47
Dothan 53
Mobile 57

Look for a big warm-up across Alabama today with a high in the 77-80 degree range; the sky will stay sunny. Afternoon temperatures will reach the low 80s tomorrow with a partly to mostly sunny sky.

RAIN RETURNS: Clouds return Wednesday, and we will forecast a good chance of showers and a few thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night. For now it looks like the main window for rain will come from about 3:00 p.m. Wednesday to 3:00 a.m. Thursday… rain amounts of 1/2 to 1 inch are expected for most of the state. We also note there is a low end “marginal risk” of severe thunderstorms Wednesday evening for the Tennessee Valley…



A storms there could produce gusty winds and maybe some small hail, but this is not a major severe weather threat.

For most of Alabama, this will be the first rain since September 25 (the rain total that day in Birmingham was only 0.03″)… and the first really meaningful rain event since September 4, when Birmingham measured 1.55″.

THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND: The sky becomes mostly sunny Thursday as dry air returns; the high will be in the mid 70s. Then, sunny weather continues on Friday and Saturday… Friday’s high will be in the low 70s followed by upper 70s Saturday. Then, a cold front will bring a chance of showers to the state late Sunday and Sunday night… for now it looks like moisture will be limited and rain amounts will be light. The high Sunday will be in the 74-77 degree range with a partly sunny sky.

NEXT WEEK: For now most of the week looks cool and dry with highs in the 60s and 70s, and lows mostly in the 40s. See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: Tropical Julia is expected to dissipate tonight over Guatemala. The Atlantic basin is now very quiet, and tropical storm formation is not expected for at least the next five days. Hurricane season ends on November 30.

ON THIS DATE IN 1846: A major hurricane, likely a Category 5, moved through the Caribbean Sea. This Great Havana Hurricane struck western Cuba on 10 October. It hit the Florida Keys on 11 October, destroying the old Key West Lighthouse and Fort Zachary Taylor.

ON THIS DATE IN 2009: Nome, Alaska, experiences its first-ever October thunderstorm with five lightning strikes between 8 and 9 PM ADT.
