HUMID SUMMER DAYS: Alabama’s weather won’t change much today… expect a mix of sun and clouds with developing showers and thunderstorms in scattered spots, mainly this afternoon and early tonight (2-9 p.m.). Humidity levels will stay high, and temperatures will peak in the 88-92 degree range. Just what you expect in July.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage tomorrow and Sunday as better dynamic support comes into play. Most of the storms will still come during the afternoon and evening hours, but some late night or morning rain can’t be ruled out. SPC has placed much of the state in a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms Sunday for the potential for hail and strong straight line winds.



Understand the weekend won’t be a total wash-out, but occasional showers and storms are likely, and watch radar trends if you have an outdoors event planned. The high tomorrow will be close to 90, followed by mid to upper 80s Sunday thanks to clouds and rain.

NEXT WEEK: Scattered to numerous showers and storms remain likely Monday, but global models suggest showers become fewer in number Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. Then fairly typical summer weather is the story Thursday and Friday with “scattered, mostly afternoon evening showers and thunderstorms” around. Highs will be in the 80s Monday, followed by mostly low 90s for the rest of the week… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: All remains very calm across the Atlantic basin and tropical storm formation is not expected through the next seven days.

ON THIS DATE IN 1905: The mercury soared to 127 degrees at Parker, Arizona to tie the state record established at Fort Mohave on the 15th of June in 1896. The current record for Arizona is 128 degrees set in Lake Havasu City on 6-29-1994.

ON THIS DATE IN 2004: A tornado occurred in the Rockwell Pass area of Sequoia National Park, California. Since the elevation of the tornado’s ground circulation was approximately 3705 m (12,156 ft) MSL, this is the highest-elevation tornado documented in the United States.

ON THIS DATE IN 2021: Tropical Storm Elsa made landfall near Fish Creek, Florida with winds of 65 mph. There were 13 deaths associated with Elsa: nine in the Florida Straits, two in the Dominican Republic, one in Martinique, and one in the United States.

 

Here Phil good weekend thing to do in Oct.

I've never been to Barber

I also want to go to the small bore weekend they have

 

You've never been to Barber!!!???

 

No. I stopped riding before it opened. My dad went with his Sunday school class and said I had to go.....and he's not really into vehicles. He looks at them as just transportation

 

Right now it will have no modifcations to the body. It will stay on 33s until I get caught up and buy a tubing bender then it will be something like this,

 

Definitely cheaper that way.

 

So 2 crawlers?

 

Sup Bret

 

Yes, I will use the Tacoma for long distance trips.
I thought about doing something like this too but doing it right and make it look a lot nicer.

 

You're keeping the black Sammie right? If so, will they be setup for different kinds of wheeling, or pretty much the same just cause?

 

It's worth the trip. We've been to the vintage festival a couple of times. Pretty neat. We've rode the motorcycles there one of the times and that was really cool. There's so much to see there.

 

Vintage was soooo cool. With all the different bikes on display and racing

 

Dad called me on his way home and told me I'd love that place. Maybe I can make the small bore weekend next year.

 

Did you meet the wheels of time dudes?

 

Yea Dale was great!!! His son took over and runs it great, not too far from the Dragon either.

 

Yeah I'll be keeping the black one I'll use it for rock crawling like I've been doing but the brown one will be used for stuff that you better have your harness buckled up for

 

LOL just a FYI when walking through a machine shop don't wear flip flops, they were stuck in there pretty good too

 

The screens alone are
