    ANOTHER SUMMER-LIKE DAY AHEAD: Temperatures will rise into the 87-90 degree range across most of Alabama today… for some it will be the warmest day so far this year. The sky will be partly sunny, and any showers that form this afternoon should be few and far between.

    Thunderstorms will likely push into Alabama tonight from the west ahead of a cold front, and some of the heavier ones could produce some hail and strong gusty winds. SPC has a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) in place tonight for the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama, and the far western counties of the state for this activity.

    TOMORROW: Storms will likely weaken early tomorrow morning, but will increase in intensity again by mid-morning into the early afternoon hours over the eastern half of the state. Those storms will likely push into Georgia by mid-afternoon.

    SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) for areas east of a line from Fort Payne to Gadsden to Hoover to Thomasville, with a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for the rest of the state.

    [​IMG]

    A few notes about tomorrow…

    *It will not rain all day. The sun could break out at times.
    *We are not expecting any tornadoes, based on forecast wind profiles. The main threat with heavier storms will come from hail and strong, gusty winds
    *Higher severe thunderstorm probabilities will be over the eastern half of the state during the midday and early afternoon hours (9am-2pm)
    *A few scattered showers could form late tomorrow afternoon and evening ahead of the cold front over North Alabama, but there is little instability available by then.
    *Most of Alabama will be dry tomorrow night.

    The high tomorrow will be in the 77-81 degree range for most communities.

    MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND: The weather will be dry and pleasant. Saturday will feature a partly sunny sky with a high in the mid to upper 70s… Sunday will be a sunny day with a high between 80 and 85 degrees.

    NEXT WEEK: The weather stays dry Monday through Wednesday… a few showers could return Thursday and Friday as moisture levels rise from the east. Temperatures will be close to 90 by mid-week, giving us another summer preview. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1933: Early in the morning of May 5, 1933, a tornado that was at times a third of a mile wide swept through Bibb and Shelby counties. It carved a track 35 miles long, and killed 20 people as they slept. Of those deaths, 14 came in Helena, where rescue efforts were hampered by the darkness and the heavy rains that followed the twister. It has been categorized by the NWS as an F4, and destroyed most of the town of Helena… it roared through at 2:30 a.m.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1995: A supercell thunderstorms brought torrential rains and large hail up to four inches in diameter to Fort Worth, Texas. This storm also struck a local outdoor festival known as the Fort Worth Mayfest. At the time the storm was the costliest hailstorm in the history of the US, causing more than $2 billion in damage.

    This is a shout out to anyone in Mobile Alabama and it’s about a recent experience at the local Hyundai dealer, there’s only one and it’s near the airport. My 94 year old dad takes his Hyundai Accent in for an oil change and tire rotation. He gets the car back and notices it’s driving in a very strange manner. He checked air pressures in tires and all four were set at 80 psi or higher. He called back and got the runaround shit they tried to get him to drive back. No dice he deflated and set them properly himself and like I said he’s 94. I’m over 700 miles away so I’m no help although I did tell him to be sure and check that oil and to never ever go back to them again under any circumstances. The next nearest dealer is about 25 miles away. I told him to look for a good independent.

    this is just another stealership story and typical

    RADAR CHECK: An MCS (Mesoscale Convective System) continues to move through far South Alabama and the Florida Panhandle early this morning with strong winds; some structural damage was associated with this line in Mobile during the pre-dawn hours. Some light rain is over East Alabama… otherwise the sky is mostly cloudy at sunrise.

    SPC maintains an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for parts of East and South Alabama through early afternoon for the potential for additional development.

    [​IMG]

    Here are some notes on what to expect today:

    *The severe weather threat for East Alabama is somewhat conditional; it depends on how quickly the air can recover from the early morning rain and storms. There is chance the storms won’t reach severe limits until they move into Georgia.

    *The best chance of severe weather in Alabama today will be along and east of I-65 (the eastern half of the state). A few showers could form over West Alabama this morning, but many places across the western half of the state will be dry today.

    *The main window for strong to severe thunderstorms over East Alabama will come from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

    *The main threat from heavier storms will come from hail and strong straight line winds. An isolated tornado can’t be totally ruled out, however, if the storms can reach severe limits.

    *The storms will be out of the state by 1-2 p.m… and most of the afternoon across Alabama will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds. A few isolated showers could form tonight over the northern counties as the upper trough swings through, but nothing widespread.

    THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The weather tomorrow will be noticeably cooler; the high will be in the 71-76 degree range with a partly sunny sky. Then, on Sunday, expect sunshine in full force with a high around 80 degrees. Some colder spots could reach the upper 40s early Sunday morning.

    NEXT WEEK: Much of next week will be dry with a warming trend. Temperatures will be close to 90 degrees by Wednesday and Thursday. A few showers could show up late in the week on Friday (one week from today) as moisture increases from the east… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

    ON THIS DATE IN 1967: An F2 tornado tore through the western part of Birmingham. A 57 year old woman who was visiting her daughter on First Court West as she watched the tornado from the front door. She was killed when 2×12 timbers launched airborne from a nearby lumber yard was hurled into the house. Birmingham Deputy Fire Chief Neal Gallant watched the storm as it tore down Lomb Avenue. A five block area near the Fairgrounds was hardest hit. The GES department store near Rickwood Field was heavily damaged. Over two dozen people were injured, and the tornado lifted just before moving into the downtown area

    ON THIS DATE IN 1975: A massive tornado hit Omaha, Nebraska killing three persons, injuring 133 others, and causing over 250 million dollars damage. The tornado struck during the late afternoon moving northeastward through the industrial and residential areas of west-central Omaha and lifting over the northern section of the city

    Went camping this weekend with @Nic S. Tested out new drawer! I can say I’m very pleased. Made organization way easier.

    Course park ranger came by and said dogs have to be on leash. This always happens!
