Alabama thread!

Sup Hayden

I'm not the slightest bit familiar with CDL stuff.

 

A breakfast burrito sounds pretty dang good

 

Morning Hayden, I do believe your correct, gotta get ride of those pesky DOT numbers.
You ever see those busses that crash and everything is all over the road. Those guys don't have a CDL and are not required to have any training on airbrakes or how to handle them in down hill situations or inclement weather.
I do hold a valid CDL for the past 19 years.

 

From AlabamaWX

RADAR CHECK: A line of thunderstorms is pushing southward through the Tennessee Valley early this morning. So far most of the storms have remained below severe limits, but we note a tornado watch is in effect until 10am for areas north of a line from Millport to Jasper to Cullman to Fort Payne.



The main concern this morning involves strong thunderstorm winds, but a brief, isolated tornado can’t be ruled out. The storms will continue to move southward, reaching the I-20/59 corridor by 8/9 a.m. (Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston, Gadsden). They drift into southeast Alabama by early afternoon.

Much of the state will be dry during the afternoon and evening hours, with some sun along with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

TONIGHT: Another batch of rain and storms is expected to develop over the southern 2/3 of Alabama tonight, generally after 9:00 p.m. These storms, where they form, will be capable of producing damaging winds. An isolated tornado or two is also possible. The highest coverage of storms will likely be south of I-20 (Tuscaloosa to Birmingham to Anniston), and especially south of U.S. 80 (Demopolis to Selma to Montgomery to Opelika).

SPC has a level 3/5 “enhanced risk” defined for this potential tonight over much of Central and South Alabama.



The storms will linger into early tomorrow morning over Southeast Alabama, and should be out of the state by mid-morning. Otherwise, tomorrow will feature a clearing sky with a high around 80 degrees.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: A cool, dry continental airmass will cover Alabama Saturday. We start the day with a low in the 47-55 degree range… then with a sunny sky the high will be in the upper 70s over the northern counties, with low 80s to the south. Sunday will be another mostly sunny day with a high in the low 80s for most communities.

NEXT WEEK: Showers and a few thunderstorms return to Alabama Monday into Tuesday morning. Then, after a dry day Wednesday, occasional showers and storms are likely Thursday and Friday. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1933: An estimated F4 tornado moved through Monroe, Cumberland, and Russell Counties in Kentucky along a 60-mile path. The town of Tompkinsville, KY was the hardest hit with 18 people killed.

Good morning Hayden.

Good morning Stevie.

 

No likey. Looks like we're going to be in the clear for now on. Everything is going south of us.

 

Morning Phillip
Morning Barrie
Morning David

Just had a bolt of lightning and thunder that shook the place.

 

We've been able to hear the thunder. Must be loud for that to happen

 

I think the lighting hit out back behind me in a field not too far away.

 

Sup all. Saw the poss small f1 pass through Five Points from my back porch. No more than 500 yards away.

 

Been doing a lot of workn. Free time has suffered.
I need to have my crack house remodeled in the next few months.

 

Take out insurance and set it on fire , then you have free time again

 

Sup John

 

That lantern looks like it's about to tip over

 

Just missed at about 300 yards. Saw a vertical wall in the lightening from my back porch but no transformers were blowing up so I wasn't extremely concerned. Pics are from the streets just below me.

 

Geraldine has been without power pretty much all morning. And reports it hit Henagar pretty good.

 

Dang
