    Good morning Bama it's Super Tuesday. Wife working the polls today, and wanted me to remind everyone that they have a RIGHT TO VOTE. When she went thru training that's the main thing they wanted to make sure everyone has THE RIGHT TO VOTE. Even is your not registered they will register you right now.
    Hope y'all have a great day and be safe.

    From AlabamaWX

    RADAR CHECK: Rain is falling early this morning over much of Northwest and East Alabama, and another large rain mass is near the Gulf Coast. We are forecasting periods of rain through tonight, with potential for a few thunderstorms as well. No risk of severe storms, and rain amounts over the next 24 hours should be in the 1/2 to 1 inch range across the state.

    Drier air returns tomorrow and Thursday; we expect a mix of sun and clouds both days with highs in the 70s. An isolated shower can’t be totally ruled out, but the chance of any one spot getting wet is only 10 percent.

    FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Another wet weather system will impact Alabama Friday and Saturday with rain and thunderstorms. SPC has defined a risk of severe thunderstorms for areas south of a line from Thomasville to Greenville to Dothan Friday afternoon and Friday night…

    [​IMG]

    The amount of instability available remains very much in question, but a strong/severe storm can’t be ruled out over far South Alabama. The main concern statewide is heavy rain and flooding… rain amounts of 2-3 inches are likely with this system. The heaviest rain will likely come Friday afternoon/night, but some rain is likely into the daytime hours Saturday. The high both Saturday and Sunday will be close to 70 degrees.

    Dry air returns to the Deep South Saturday night, and Sunday will be a sunny, cooler day with a high in the 55-65 degree range.

    NEXT WEEK: The weather looks dry Monday through Wednesday with a warming trend; temperatures reach the 70s by Wednesday. A few showers could return Thursday or Friday, but for now it doesn’t look like a big rain event. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1963: An F3 tornado moved through the Birmingham metro. It first touched down in Bessemer, then moving northeast, remaining on the ground for fifteen miles, tearing through Homewood and into Mountain Brook. Bessemer was the hardest hit, with the worst damage along second and third avenues between 19th and 21st streets. Fortunately, the F3 tornado killed no one, but 35 people were injured along its path.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1989: A F2 tornado killed one person and injured six others in Heard County, Georgia. A stronger F3 tornado injured 23 persons and caused more than $5 million in damage around Grantville, Georgia.

    Were the beads bad? I mean,, like they got wet and were clumping inside the tire? That’s sucks about the tire weights hitting your caliper though.

    IDK they said they don't recommended them for that size tire. Mainly for larger tires like 18 wheeler rock bouncer etc. I just said i want my tire balanced lol. I pointed out the caliper issue as well before they started and they still did it. It was after they close when they got done yesterday and i drove down the street and noticed it clicking. Same noise it made in my Tacoma so i knew instantly what it was. He said bring it back and they will fix it.
