Alabama thread!

I caught a damn stomach bug Thur night. I ended up at work as a pt, had to take Fri and half a day Sat. I haven't been that sick since catching C-Diff from a pt years ago

 

Morning!

From AlabamaWX

ACTIVE DAY: A cold front pushes into Alabama today, and it will bring a band of showers and thunderstorms to the state. There is a low end risk of severe storms… SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) for areas east of I-65, and north of I-85. Much of the rest of the state is in a “marginal risk” (level 1/5), but no severe storms are expected for places like Mobile and Dothan.



TIMING: Stronger storms will enter the northwest corner of the state around 7:00 a.m…. and the line will move eastward during the day. The window for the heavier storms for places like Tuscaloosa/Birmingham/Anniston/Gadsden will come from about 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Storms arrive South Alabama by mid to late afternoon.

THREATS: The main threat from stronger storms today will come from gusty straight line winds. Some hail is possible as well. The overall tornado threat is low; a brief tornado can’t be totally ruled out, but isn’t likely with marginal instability, low shear, and weak dynamic support.

RAIN: Rain totals through midnight should be under one inch, and flooding issues are not expected.

While this is not a major severe weather threat, still be weather aware today and pay attention to warnings if they are needed. Temperatures will begin to fall behind this front over North Alabama by late morning and this afternoon.

REST OF THE WEEK: The front will become nearly stationary over far South Alabama tonight. Showers will remain possible there tonight and tomorrow, but the rest of the state will be dry and cool… the high will be in the 50s over the northern half of the state tomorrow. A wave of low pressure forms on the front tomorrow, and rain will spread back into the state by mid to late afternoon… that rain will continue tomorrow night into Wednesday morning.

Much of the state will be dry Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, but clouds linger. The high Wednesday will be around 60, followed by low to mid 60s Thursday.

Another cold front will push into the state Friday evening; if unstable air can return ahead of the front, this could bring another chance of strong to severe thunderstorms to the state.

COLD WEEKEND AHEAD: Following the front, much colder air rolls into Alabama Friday night. A few snow flurries are possible in the colder air early Saturday morning, but no impact is expected. The sky will clear during the day Saturday, but it will be cold. In fact, temperatures across the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama could hold in the 30s all day with a brisk north wind. The high for the central counties will be in the 40s.

A very significant freeze is likely Sunday morning, with lows in the 20-26 degree range for most places over the northern half of the state. Low 30s are possible deep into South Alabama. On most March days this would be in record territory, but Birmingham’s record low for March 13 is 12 degrees, set after the great Blizzard of 93 with 1-2 feet of snow on the ground. It won’t be that cold this year, and there won’t be any snow on the ground Sunday morning.

Sunday will be a sunny day with a high in the 50s.

NEXT WEEK: For now most of the week looks dry with a warming trend… temperatures reach the low 70s by mid-week… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1997: The worst was finally over for states hit hard by the flooding Ohio River. The river crested on the 6th at Louisville, Kentucky, at 15 feet above flood stage, after topping out at nearly 13 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, and more than 7 feet at Huntington, West Virginia.

What trigger are you running?

 

The Elftmann AR9



I have Elftmanns in all mine

This one is in my AR10 and AR15



This one is in my 300BLK and I have

 

i am actually looking at buying one of those. Obviously you like them pretty well. Have you seen any issues out of them in high round competition guns?

thats also near 1k in triggers. Lol

 

The only one I have put any rounds through is my AR15 and I have less than 1000rds through it at this point.
@ovrlndkull can tell you how smooth they are. This was the first non mil-spec trigger I ever used, and I have just stuck with them. I honestly have no other experience with other brands. I have bought a Midwest Industries, CMC and RA140, but built the guns with the MW and CMC for my doc and then sold the RA140 to a coworker for his gun b/c I bought an Elftmann to replace it.........just my personal preference.

My doc really liked the MW and the CMC in the EPC-9.

 

I might try it. The milspec in my gun was too gritty to be consistent at 500 yards this weekend.

I’m either looking at the larue Mbt2s or a respectable single stage drop in like that elftmann or a timney.

 

mornin fellers

 

I honestly think anything is better than a mil-spec, but I'm nowhere near an "operator" Experts may be able to tell the subtle differences b/t those different brands. For my skillset, Elftmann is a far better trigger than I will ever be a shooter

Larue and Timney both have great reviews and have been in the business for many years.....something to be said for that.

getting settled in at work.

 

You and me both. My new holster is out for delivery........so I may have to run home for a minute

 

Another one with 300,000+

CMC makes good ones. I have them. Also for a budget one I like the RRA 2 stage and have it in a couple.

 

I have a new AC compressor to install, looking at it and debating whether or not I want to do it today

 

Knowing our weather.....it'll be 100 tomorrow

 

It's in one of my spare trucks so I don't really have to do it but I need to get it done

 

I was thinking more of having to put it in when it's 100
