From AlabamaWX

MILD WEATHER CONTINUES: Look for a high in the 69-74 degree range across most of Alabama today… the average high for Birmingham on January 2 is 54. Dense fog is a problem again this morning over the southern third of of the state, where a dense fog advisory is in effect. Scattered showers will form today as moist air surges northward; a thunderstorm is possible in spots this afternoon. But, the threat of severe storms will remain to the west through tonight.

TOMORROW: SPC has defined an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for parts of Central and Southwest Alabama… in a broad zone from near Tuscaloosa and Birmingham down to Montgomery and just north of Mobile. A “slight risk” (level 2/5) covers most of the rest of the state.



While rain is possible during the morning, the window for strong to severe thunderstorms will open around 12 noon over the western third of the state tomorrow, with the risk shifting eastward through the afternoon and evening hours. Thunderstorms that form will be capable of producing strong winds, hail, and a few tornadoes. A strong tornado (EF-2 or higher) is possible in the enhanced risk area.

Rain amounts of around one inch are likely, with isolated heavier amounts possible. The severe weather threat will fade tomorrow night as the main dynamic support lifts well to the north of Alabama, but rain will remain possible through Wednesday morning.

PREPARE: Be sure you can hear severe weather warnings if they are needed. A NOAA Weather Radio is the baseline, and be sure WEA (Wireless Emergency Alerts) are enabled on your phone. Install the free ABC 33/40 weather app.

Review your severe weather plan; know the safe place in your home, which is a small room on the lowest floor. Near the center of the house, away from windows. And, if you live in a mobile home be sure you know the location of the nearest shelter or site built structure that is available, and the quickest way of getting there.

No need to be anxious, these setups are common in Alabama during our tornado season, which runs from November through May.

REST OF THE WEEK: Rain will end by midday Wednesday, and the weather will be dry and cooler Thursday and Friday with seasonal temperatures (highs in the 50s, lows in the 30s).

THE WEEKEND: Saturday morning, but clouds will increase through the day with a high around 60 degrees. A fast moving disturbance will bring a chance of showers to the state late Saturday into Sunday morning. No risk of severe storms, and rain amounts should be generally under 1/2 inch. Not an “all day washout”.

NEXT WEEK: Some rain is possible Tuesday, otherwise much of the week looks dry with highs mostly in the 50s, lows in the 30s. Right at average values for January in Alabama. See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1955: Hurricane Alice passed through the Islands of Saint Martin and Saba in the Caribbean Sea on this day. Alice, which developed on December 30, 1954, is the only known Atlantic hurricane to span two calendar years.

ON THIS DATE IN 2017: 36 confirmed tornadoes impacted the Deep South from Louisiana to Georgia. There were also numerous wind damage reports, and in Alabama, four people died from straight-line winds when a tree crashed through a mobile home near Rehobeth.

 

Good morning Mike.

 

Morning Fellas, feels good to have a another Monday off

 

Good morning Brian.

 

Morning, wife and I just got up lol. Could get use to this

 

I agree. Liking it.

 

Selling our Smittybilt Overlander XL. Perfect condition. No smell, no mildew. Sleeps 4+ adults. Only used for 2 trips. Bought a camper and never sleeping in a tent again. $1,200.

 

Thought you said you were keeping for overland trips lol. Guess not haha.

 

We’ll park the camper, overland, and come back.

NEVER sleeping in a tent again! I’m just too damn old I guess.

I’ve got the camper at my brother-in-laws farm for deer hunting and it has been wonderful.

I’m keeping my ground tent and the camper shell, so I can still teach my son or overland if I really wanted to.

 

What’s up stranger!

 

Pictures and specs of the camper?
