From AlabamaWX

SPRING-LIKE AFTERNOON: Temperatures are in the 68-74 degree range across Alabama this afternoon with a partly sunny sky. Clouds will increase tonight ahead of the approaching storm system.



ACTIVE DAY TOMORROW: A dynamic storm system will bring lots of wind, and the threat of severe thunderstorms to Alabama and much of the Deep South tomorrow. The main limiting factor continues to be weak instability, but other parameters are very favorable for severe thunderstorms.

SPC has upgraded parts of North and West Alabama to an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5)… this is for areas west of a line from Hypo to Hueytown to Demopolis. There is a “slight risk” (level 2/5) as far east as Weiss Lake, Rockford, Camden, and Chatom. The rest of the state (East/South Alabama) is in a “marginal risk” (level 1/5).



TIMING: The window for strong to severe thunderstorms will open up around 2:00 p.m. over the far western part of the state… in the “enhanced risk” area the main threat comes from 2:00 until 8:00 p.m. For Birmingham, Anniston, and Gadsden… the main window will be from 5:00-11:00 p.m. Strong storms could linger across Southeast Alabama well past midnight.

THREATS: Storms tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night will be capable of producing hail, strong straight line winds, and a few tornadoes. The highest risk of a tornado is in the “enhanced risk” area across North and West Alabama.

GRADIENT WIND: Non-thunderstorm winds will average 15-30 mph, with gusts to 40 mph in spots during the afternoon and evening hours. These winds could knock down a few trees and power lines.



RAIN: Rain amounts around one inch are likely… a few spots could see around 1.5″. For now significant flooding issues are not expected.

Events like this are fairly common in February in Alabama… we are in the tornado season (November through May). Be sure you have a reliable way of hearing warnings (NEVER an outdoor siren), and know your safe place. If you live in a mobile home, know where you are going if you fall in a tornado warning polygon, and the quickest way of getting there.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: The sky becomes partly to mostly sunny Friday, and the day will be considerably cooler with a high at or just over 50 degrees. The weekend will feature sunny days with a warming trend… the high Saturday will be in the upper 50s, followed by mid 60s Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: Rain will return to the state Monday, and it looks like we will have some risk of rain on a daily basis through at least Wednesday. Temperatures will be mild… highs will likely exceed 70 degrees by Tuesday. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1989: A surge of arctic air on February 16-17th produced all-time record high barometric pressure readings of 31.08 inches at Duluth, Minnesota, 30.97 inches at Chicago, Illinois, and 30.94 inches at South Bend, Indiana. Readings of 31.00 inches at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and 30.98 inches at Rockford, Illinois, tied their all-time records. Unseasonably warm weather prevailed across the southeastern U.S. Highs of 81 degrees at Athens, Georgia, 87 degrees at Charleston, South Carolina, 85 degrees at Macon, Georgia, and 86 degrees at Savannah, Georgia, were records for February.

ON THIE DATE IN 2001: A derecho (a long-lived and widespread convective wind storm) moved through Alabama. The line of storms reached the western Alabama border around 2 pm. Around the same time, a section of the squall line began to bulge out, or bow, in Pickens County. Through the next 3 hours, the derecho would move across the entire width of the state, producing wind gusts approaching 100 mph, and widespread damage similar to a F0 to F1 category. Officially recorded wind gusts include 60 mph at the Tuscaloosa and Anniston/Oxford Airports, and 68 mph at the Birmingham Airport and Gadsden/Etowah County EOC.

 

Sup Phil.

 

Just buying a light for the new 43x
Preston made me

 

@pdaddy you're not helping soon we'll have to have an intervention with Phil. He can't retire on standard guns.

 

I kinda wish I had bought suppressor height sights. I will eventually buy 2 Swampfox Sentinels and want the sights to cowitness. I have read that normal sights will b/c there's a cut out in the sight.......guess I'll just wait until I can get one in my hands

 

Lmao i asked him how it was going and then somehow he turned that into buying a weapon light

 

No, no, no.......you liked my post and it made me go back and look at it......then I said "fuck it" might as well..........so.......your fault


I have a fucked way of rationalizing things

 

He's a weak human being. Good thing he doesn't have a wife. Or he'd be on the #don'ttellMere train too.

 

Shit, as long as the bills are paid...........well......who am I kidding..........I'd probably be so whipped I wouldn't even care
