Alabama thread!

What's the Golden rule? Measure twice cut on once.

 

Congrats, i took 2.25 off mine and just kept the flares off. I used masking tape to outline my cut area and used a jig saw with the diablo metal blades from home depo. Worked well. Used this door trim and it all came together nicely. I know @Nic S about to cut his too for 35's

Protect plants if you got em. We had to cover our blueberry bush and Amaryllis'. Nothing we can do about the peach trees because they are too big.

SUNNY, BREEZY, COOL DAY: Despite a good supply of sunshine, temperatures well below average across Alabama this afternoon, mostly in the 50s and 60s. Birmingham reports 55 degrees at 2:00 p.m… the average high for March 13 is 66. A freeze warning is in effect tonight for all of North and Central Alabama, where lows will dip into the 25-35 degree range early tomorrow morning.



Tomorrow will be another sunny, cool day with highs in the 50s and 60s. And, another freeze is likely across North and Central Alabama by daybreak Wednesday, with frost potential across the southern counties of the state. Then, during the day Wednesday, the sky will be sunny with a high in the 60s.

Temperatures reach the 70s Thursday afternoon with a good supply of sunshine. Clouds return Thursday night, and rain arrives Friday ahead of another cold front. For now, severe storms are not expected over most of Alabama due to the lack of surface based instability, but strong storms are possible along the Gulf Coast. Rain amounts Friday will be around one inch.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Another shot of colder air arrives Saturday… the sky becomes partly to mostly sunny with highs in the 50s and 60s. Then, another late season freeze seems likely for much of North/Central Alabama by early Sunday morning with lows back in the 25-35 degree range. Sunday will be sunny and cool with highs in the 50s for North Alabama, with 60s for the southern counties of the state.

NEXT WEEK: Freezing temperatures are possible again early Monday morning, followed by a warming trend. A batch of rain and storms will likely arrive by mid-week… See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE 30 YEARS AGO: The generational “Blizzard of 93” was winding down. All 67 Alabama counties had measurable snow; winds gusted to nearly hurricane force on ridges with white out conditions, snow amounts of 1 to 2 feet were common over the northern half of the state, with drifts to 5 feet. There was a lot of eerie green lightning followed by the muffled sound of thunder during the peak of the storm. With the atmosphere overloaded with big snowflakes, part of the sound of thunder was absorbed. Some had no power for over a week.

We forecast 6 to 16 inches of snow going into the event, but many didn’t believe it since we were in mid-March, the flowers were blooming, and the high on March 10, 1993 (two days before the blizzard) was 75.

The storm dropped 13 inches at the Birmingham International Airport, where the records are kept, and almost two feet of snow across parts of southern Jefferson and northern Shelby counties. The heaviest snow across the Southeast U.S. was recorded was at Newfound Gap, where U.S. 441 crosses the Tennessee and North Carolina border, with five feet. The temperature at Birmingham dropped to 2 degrees on Sunday, March 14, 1993 with a clear sky, light wind, and a huge snow cover.

 

I wouldn’t mind another good ol blizzard of 93. Definitely enough snow to play in.

 

Yea that was nuts! I was 16

 

It's a whopping 45 up here and supposed to dip down close to freezing by morning.

 

Me too. I had just gotten my drivers license and drove my moms civic around in it. Enough snow the front of the car was piling it up on the hood. It was great.

 

I was stuck in an apartment in Birmingham close to Southside with 3 females and no heat or electricity. While my apartment over by The Nick club in B ham had everything on and couldn't get to it .

 

I had an 84 Bronco II. I couldn't get it out of the driveway. Steep hill and all that. It was 4wd but it just wasn't gonna happen with the slippery slope.

Same trim and color as this one. I had black rims though and auto hubs, not manual.

 

I like that color. Those are going for good money if in good condition. All our vehicles were 2wd but we had tractors so we just pulled stuff out when we got stuck.

 

This was the year before we moved here. I heard many stories about it. I remember the ice storm in ‘96 I believe in February. We lived in Jasper, and hand 6”-8” icicles hanging on the power lines and our cars had a quarter of an inch of ice covering them.

 

It felt good up here until the sun went down, now it's around 40 and dropping close to freezing. I am so ready for some warmer weather but not the summertime heat.

 

Good morning everyone, have a great and blessed day.

 

Good morning Jeff.

These are not the lows for the day… the readings will drop a few more degrees before starting to rise.

Today will be sunny and cool with a high in the 50s for North Alabama, with 60s to the south. Then, another freeze is likely for the northern 2/3 of the state late tonight and early tomorrow. A freeze warning is in effect as far south as Butler, Grove Hill, Camden, Greenville, Troy, and Eufaula. Temperatures could be a little colder than what we are experiencing this morning with a calm wind expected.



Dry weather continues tomorrow and Thursday with a warming trend. Highs will be in the 60s tomorrow, and in the 68-75 degree range Thursday. Clouds return Thursday night, and Friday promises to be a wet day with occasional rain and possibly a thunderstorm. There will be no surface based instability over most of the state, so no risk of severe storms, with the possible exception of the Gulf Coast. Rain amounts Friday will be around one inch, with locally heavier amounts.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Another shot of cold air rolls into the state Saturday. The sky becomes partly to mostly sunny, with highs ranging from the upper 40s over the northern third of the state to the 60s for South Alabama. Another late season freeze is likely Sunday morning… we project a low in the 22-32 degree range over the northern counties. Sunday will be a sunny, cool day with highs in the 50s and 60s.

NEXT WEEK: Another freeze is likely for North/Central Alabama early Monday, followed by a warming trend. Global models are not in especially good agreement, but it looks like rain will return to much of the state Tuesday, followed by another chance of rain Friday. Temperatures reach the 70s by the end of the week… See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1933: A deadly tornado outbreak affected the Middle Tennessee region, including Nashville, on this day. The outbreak, which produced five or more tornadoes, killed 44 people and injured at least 461 others. The strongest tornado, F3, cut a path through the center of Nashville. About 1,400 homes were damaged or destroyed. Windows were blown out of the State Capitol Building.

ON THIS DATE IN 2008: The SEC basketball tournament was underway in Atlanta, and Alabama/Mississippi State was going into overtime. A loud roaring sound was heard. Television announcers said that it sounded like a freight train. Lights and catwalks in the Dome began to sway and debris rained down inside the arena. Players on the court stopped and fans in the upper levels of the arena began to panic. No one knew what was going on. There were no public address announcements about the severe weather outside until well after the storm had hit.

The court was cleared and order restored, but outside, the scene was like that of a war zone. Damage was widespread. An F2 tornado had struck downtown Atlanta. The tornado damaged not only the Georgia Dome, Philips Arena, the CNN Center, and the Omni Hotel, but it blew windows out of downtown hotels, cars, and buildings and even caused the collapse of several buildings. In the nearby historic Cabbagetown district, several homes and buildings were destroyed. Over fifty homes were destroyed and the Cotton Mill lofts were heavily damaged.

Tragically, one person was killed in the tornado in a collapsed building. Thirty were injured in the tornado.
