Alabama thread!

Thanks John!

 

I’m guessing TCI? My next door neighbor used to work there before he retired. Would you move there? The reason for the question i live there.

 

Quick technical question. My Googlefu is shit tonight. I need the WMS and spring perch width for a 2nd gen Tacoma. I've found 65.5" and 66" as the WMS, but can't find anything definite, and nothing on the spring perch width. I plan to have an axle built for a camp trailer.

 

Soon my freind. Gunna have to do a day ride soon lol.

 

Mine only squeaked a little. Made my front end feel bouncy and when i was turning i could feel it moving up and down and could hear a chaffing sound more than squeaking.

 

I wouldn't move there, I'm only 25 minute drive from Pell City. Yes, it would be TCI, right next to CMC Impact Metals, a previous employer of mine about 15 years ago.

 

LOL!!!

We're all sick of the rain but there is nothing we can do about it. The flooding risk for North Alabama is off the charts. I hope all of you have houses on high ground.

From AlabamaWX

TOO MUCH RAIN: Rain is increasing across Alabama early this morning; we note a few thunderstorms embedded in the large area mass over the western counties of the state. Soaking rains are likely through tonight, and a flash flood watch is in effect for about the northern half of the state, where 24 hour rain totals could exceed 3 inches.



We also note that NOAA’s WPC (Weather Prediction Center) has defined a “high risk” of flooding across North/Central Alabama through tonight. Due to the recent rains and saturated soil, flooding is a very real concern. Not only flash flooding, but longer term river flooding. If you live in a flood prone area, or along a creek or river, pay close attention to flood warnings and statements.



And, SPC (NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center) has a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms defined for parts of West Alabama though tonight; a few storms could produce small hail and gusty winds, but we are not expecting a major issue with severe thunderstorms through tonight.



The weather will be mild today with a high generally in the mid 60s.

TOMORROW: The weather stays wet with occasional rain. Perhaps not as heavy as what we will experience today, and no severe storms are expected. Again the high will be in the mid 60s.

SEVERE POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT: The day Wednesday will be mostly cloudy and mild with a high in the low to mid 70s; a few showers are likely as a moist air mass stays in place. Severe thunderstorms become possible statewide Wednesday night ahead of a dynamic weather system with strong wind fields. SPC has defined an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) for small part of West Alabama, with a “slight risk” (level 2/5) for most of the rest of the state. Far East and Southeast Alabama is under a “marginal risk” (level 1/5).



For now it looks like the main window for heavier storms will come from 6:00 p.m. Wednesday through 6:00 a.m. Thursday. If instability values can rise sufficiently, all modes of severe weather will be possible, including hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. Somewhat similar to the event we experienced last Wednesday night. And, more flooding issues are very possible.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY: Rain ends early in the day Thursday; some clearing is possible by afternoon with temperatures holding in the 50s. Friday will be mostly sunny; we start the day with a low between 28 and 32; the high will be close to 50 degrees.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Saturday will be dry… a partly sunny sky with a high in the 50s. Clouds increase Saturday night, and wet weather returns Sunday with periods of rain. Sunday will be fairly mild with a high in the 60s.

NEXT WEEK: The pattern continues to favor mild, wet weather for a decent part of the week as the coldest air in the nation remains out west and over Alaska…

 

no.

 

No more rain!!! Yesterday was such a beautiful day, I'm so ready for Spring!

 

I agree. Guess what happens next week after a dry weekend....Yep, more rain.

 

I dunno who came up with April showers bring May flowers but they're wrong as sin. It's December/January/February rain that does it. April thunderstorms just bring Tornadoes.

 

Alabama has some of the most messed up weather!

 

Mornin' Ty!
