Alabama thread!

Lol it’s a perfect tacomaholic match luckily I sat long enough it dried on the tire I was thinking great sling this down the side of the truck

 

@JBTacoma did y’all make a new date for coppinger cove?

 

Matt @tweakit88 said he would monitor it to see when we could go. Right now where we would ride is under water.

 

And that water is going to get significantly deeper over the next 6 days.

 

Red Sky in the morning Shepherds warning! Ridiculous tint to the sky this morning.

 

Everybody stay safe today!

 

From AlabamaWX



As of 3:00 am this morning, the Storm Prediction Center continues an Enhanced Risk over a portion of North Alabama and a good chunk of Central Alabama, roughly along and west of a line from Waterloo (Lauderdale Co.) to Harpersville (Shelby Co.) to Auburn (Lee Co.). A Slight Risk is up for the rest of North and Central Alabama.

Wind Advisories are in effect for all of North and Central Alabama through 9:00 pm tonight. Winds will be sustained at 10-20 MPH throughout the day with gust up to 40 MPH, while higher elevations could see gusts up to 50 MPH. These winds will occur outside of any thunderstorm activity due to the tightening pressure gradient. With the saturated soil, weakened trees could be blown down which may result in a few power outages.

A Tornado watch has just been issued for northeastern Mississippi and west-central Tennessee until 10:00 am this morning.





Let’s look at the 07z run of the HRRR and we see that the main line of strong to severe storms will be located in Central Mississippi at 9:00 am with some scattered showers over North/Central Alabama. This is when we would need to start watching for any cells that could develop out ahead of the main line as the ingredients will be there to support supercells along with a few tornadoes. As you can see, the HRRR is showing that instability will be increasing over the western half of the area, along with the Significant Tornado Parameter as values will be approaching 3.5 in some spots.


Around noon, the main line will begin to cross over the state line into the western parts of North/Central Alabama. This is where the main threat of damaging winds in excess of 70 MPH will be possible along with a few spin-up tornadoes. Out ahead of that, the risk of supercells will continue and this model run shows the possibility of those as far east as the I-65 corridor. Instability and STP values have really increased over the area, but I think the HRRR might be running a little too high with this. No matter what the models say, the potential for tornadoes and damaging winds continue.




Around 3:00 pm, the main line of storms will be crossing the I-65 corridor in the central parts of North/Central Alabama while a few cells have formed out ahead of the line. Remember, this is just a model showing what radar may look like. Behind the line, instability will be virtually gone and the severe threat will be over for western parts of the area, while we continue to see increased instability along and east of the line. The same can be said of the STP values. Once again, I think the HRRR may be running a little too high on this run, but the potential continues.





Around 6:00 pm, we see that the line is in the process of crossing over into Georgia with the threat of severe weather remaining for the extreme southeastern parts of Central Alabama. At this point, damaging winds and a brief tornado or two look to be the main threats as instability starts weakening along with a large decrease in STP values. The severe threat is over for all of the state by 7:00 pm on this model run.



Projected rainfall from 6:00 am today through 6:00 am Sunday look to be around 1 inch to 1.25 inches across the area, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a few locally heavier amounts. Afternoon highs will top out in the lower to mid-70s across the area today.

 

Mornin' Bama! Batten down the hatches!

 

Yep that winds gettin it, thought about puttin my ditch lights on but with two sick ones in the house prolly gonna just put a rear end in.........

The recliner

 

lol We're about to go pick up our youngest boy from his friend's house and probably pick up a few groceries.

We'll probably sit and play some board games, as we always do during storm time.

 

Bad day for Huntsville doppler to go down

 

Got a tornado warning on the west side of ttown.

 

Rain wrapped mess over there

 

THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES……

…SUMMARY…
Scattered to potentially widespread damaging winds are expected across parts of the Central Gulf Coast states and Tennessee Valley. The greatest threat for tornadoes will be across portions of Alabama.

…TN/MS/AL/GA…
The intense squall line extends southward across middle TN into northwest AL and eastern MS. The air mass ahead of the line is modestly unstable with dewpoints in the low/mid 60s. Little daytime heating is expected, but afternoon MLCAPE values as high as 1000 J/kg may be realized over central AL later today. Given the extremely strong wind fields, this parameter space will remain conducive for damaging winds and QLCS mesovortices along the squall line. The warm sector continues to show a little capping per recent soundings in northern AL. If the capping erodes, the potential for a few discrete supercells ahead of the line would increase, along with a potential for a strong tornado or two.

 

Everyone be safe with this weather rolling through!

 

@JBTacoma bad one on you

 

stay safe buddy

 

This freaken wind aint playin yall.




Raining sideways, trees cracking and falling in the wooda all around us lol.

 

You too brother. Keeping an eye on it now. We are just now getting sprinkles but rotations headed our way.
