Alabama thread!

Things are going good now, lost power last night for about 2 hours.

 

Good morning Jeff.

 

Funny thing we're on a co-op for electric and the lineman that works our area lives next door to us. So when the power went out he was on top of it because he wanted his power back too.
He has retired now but if the power goes out he's out looking for a issue to report to the new lineman.

 

Power came on about 15 minutes ago.

RADAR CHECK: Areas of rain and a few thunderstorms are moving across Alabama early this morning as the upper ridge has weakened over the region. Rain chances are higher today, and heat levels will be lower with many places across Alabama staying below 90 degrees through the afternoon. We still can’t promise rain for everyone, but the chance of any one given place getting wet today is 50-70 percent.

Not much change tomorrow… we expect a mix of sun and clouds with scattered showers and thunderstorms around, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. The high will be in the low 90s for most communities, right at average levels for late June.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Pretty routine summer weather for the weekend. Partly sunny days with “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms” around. Chance of any specific location seeing rain both days is 50-60 percent, and most (but not necessarily all) of the showers will come from about 1:00 until 10:00 p.m. The high Saturday will be in the low 90s, followed by mid 90s Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: Drier air moves into the state for the first half of the week; we expect mostly sunny hot days and fair nights Monday through Wednesday with only a small risk of a shower each day. Highs will rise into the mid to upper 90s. A pop-up afternoon storm is a bit more likely by Thursday and Friday, but even then widespread rain isn’t especially likely. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: A tropical wave (Invest 94L) over the west-central Caribbean Sea is producing widespread but disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity while it moves rapidly westward at around 25 mph. Environmental conditions could become more conducive for some gradual development later this week over the western Caribbean Sea or over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico during the weekend. NHC gives it only a 20 percent chance of development for now; if anything happens to form it will move into Mexico.

Of more interest is Invest 95L in the Central Atlantic. A tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Environmental conditions are forecast to be unusually conducive for late June across the central and western tropical Atlantic, and further development of this system is anticipated. A tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form this weekend several hundred miles east of the Windward Islands while the system moves westward at 15 to 20 mph. NHC gives it a 70 percent chance of development.



Way too early to know the ultimate destination of this system; it all depends on how the upper air pattern evolves in 7-10 days. Model spread is anywhere from Central America to the Bahamas; we will have much better clarity early next week. No tropical storms or hurricanes for the Central Gulf Coast (Gulf Shores to Panama City Beach) through next week.



ON THIS DATE IN 1957: Hurricane Audrey made landfall Sabine Pass and Johnsons Bayou, Louisiana. Hurricane Audrey ranks as the 7th deadliest hurricane to strike the United States (3rd deadliest within Louisiana) in modern record keeping, with at least 500 deaths. The exact number will never be known, as many perished in the storm surge in Cameron and Vermilion parishes, and many missing persons were never found.

Along with Hurricane Alex in 2010, it was also the strongest June hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin as measured by pressure. The rapidly developing storm struck southwestern Louisiana as an intense Category 3 hurricane, destroying coastal communities with a powerful storm surge that penetrated as far as 20 miles inland.

 

Morning fellas. Installed an HPS intake tube. Def notice a difference in acceleration. Old restrictive box versus free flow silicone tube lol. It’s a lot louder lol.

 

Where @gixxerphil his long shift must be over.

 

I think so, now off for some extended amount of time.

 

I'm down to short shifts for the month

 

Good morning everybody, have a great, safe and blessed Friday

RADAR CHECK: Rain is falling early this morning across parts of Southeast Alabama, the rest of the state is dry with temperatures in the 70s. Expect a partly sunny sky today with a high in the 90-95 degree range, close to average for late June. A few widely scattered showers and storms will pop up this afternoon; the chance of any one spot seeing rain is 20-30 percent.

Scattered showers and storms should be more numerous over the weekend; the chance of rain for your front yard will be 50-60 percent both days. Most, not not necessarily all, of the showers and storms will come from about 1:00 until 10:00 p.m. Otherwise expect a mix of sun and clouds both days with highs remaining in the low to mid 90s.

NEXT WEEK: The air will be drier Monday and Tuesday; most of the state will be hot and dry with only a few isolated showers for the southern third of the state. Then, scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and storms are possible statewide over the latter half of the week. Highs will be in the 90s, lows in the 70s. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: NHC is monitoring three tropical waves across the Atlantic basin. One in the western Caribbean, and one in the far eastern Atlantic, have low (20-30 percent probabilities) of development. The focus is on Invest 95L in the Central Atlantic, with a 90 percent chance of development over the next seven days.



Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs of organization in association with 95L, located several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form over the next day or two. This system is expected to move westward at 15 to 20 mph towards the Windward Islands. Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of this system. Some models bring it up to hurricane strength; the name will be Beryl.

It will be in the Caribbean in a week, but there is considerable model spread in the 7-10 day range, and it remains too early to know the final destination. We expect no tropical storms or hurricanes for the Central Gulf Coast (Gulf Shores to Panama City Beach) through the end of next week.



ON THIS DATE IN 1924: An estimated F4 tornado struck the towns of Sandusky and Lorain, killing 85 people and injuring over 300. This tornado is the deadliest ever in Ohio history.

ON THIS DATE IN 1975: Lightning strikes Lee Trevino and two other golfers at the Western Open golf tournament in Oak Brook, Illinois.

 

Anyone want my Victory half rack?

 

Morning erbody, been out collecting foods outta the garden and doing a little trim mowing because it’s supposed a 70% chance of rain tomorrow. Kinda need a heavy steady rain here to overcome the drought.

 

How much? I have a buddy looking for a Roofrack

 

Wife brought in 2 zucchini today and I mowed the yard at the house 2 settings higher than normal. Did some road scraping too. Waiting on the rain again we got .43" yesterday.
