From AlabamaWX

Another active night across Alabama and the Deep South again last night, but hopefully our extended anomalous period of severe weather is winding down. Just in time for the tropical Atlantic to throw us some anomalous activity in the form of an early season storm in the main development region of the Atlantic, something we don’t usually see til July or August. In fact, if it happens, we have never seen a storm like this so early in the season. Especially warm ocean temperatures are to blame.

SUNDAY NIGHT SEVERE: An approaching upper level disturbance triggered severe thunderstorms in an unstable environment across Mississippi and Alabama overnight. The storms were aided by an unusual low level jet for mid-June, but they mostly stayed well behaved. Tornado watches were issued for the evening and overnight hours of western Alabama and points west ,but they generally were not needed. The storms rumbled through without much damage, but heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds generally.

PRETTY MUCH DODGED A BULLET: Damage was reported from around Owens Crossroads in Madison County where several large trees were uprooted and a porch column was torn off a house. A tree also fell on a vehicle. There were also reports of quarter sized hail. In west central Alabama, a large tree was blown down and completely was blocking highway 171 at the Tuscaloosa/Fayette County line nears Moore’s Bridge around 10 p.m. There was tornado damage in southeastern Mississippi near Bay Springs. That area around Laurel always seems to get it.

FOR YOUR MONDAY: We are starting the day mostly cloudy, warm, and humidly across North and Central Alabama. Some straggling shower are making a run for the Georgia border and will be completely out of our state by 8-9 a.m. Clouds will be breaking up from the west during the day, but it may be late afternoon before sunshine returns for eastern sections. We have an upper low to our north, and that could set off a few showers this afternoon, but coverage will be light and spotty. Tonight will feature some wraparound clouds from the low, and a chance of a stray overnight shower, with lows in the 60s after today’s highs in the middle 80s generally.

SPC SAYS: Here is the day one severe weather outlook:



TUESDAY: The upper low will be spinning away to our north on Tuesday, with wraparound clouds and convective showers that sort of look like a late winter/early spring system. But temperatures will be in the 80s, so no fears about having winter flashbacks. There is some discussion about whether we could still have severe weather on Tuesday, but if we do, it will be over far South Alabama.

REST OF THE WORK WEEK: Showers and storms will remain in the forecast Wednesday and Thursday with the upper low in the proximity. Seemingly, the severe weather threat should be lessening. Things will be a little cooler Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the upper 70s in North Alabama and lower 80s across the central part of the state

 

Good morning Mike.

 

Sup fellas, some nasty weather came through last night.

 

Good morning Brian.

 

Morning Barrie.

 

Morning guys.

 

Planted the zoysia this weekend.

 

Fed ex called said transmission would be here Friday.

 

You planted it or just threw it on the ground ?

 

lol basically layed it down...

 

it appears its already starting to take root

 

Alright guys need your help lol.
I'm trying to plan a single day adventure for me and the wife with some hiking and swimming on the 3rd of July. If we leave the kids with the grandparents we will have 10 ish hours. Was thinking about going to the Walls of Jericho but I think that would be too much hiking time in and out plus the 4 hour drive round trip.

Now I'm thinking about going to do 600-1 / 600-2 and hit up a couple short hikes with water falls at Cheaha.

Any of yall have some suggestions? Really just want to get out in nature for a while and maybe hit a couple swimming holes.

 

Great weekend exploring with the family in GA and TN. Finally got to white water raft on the Ocoee which was a bucket item for me.

 

I don’t know where you’re at, but I would highly recommend Chinnabee Lake in TNF. You can hike down to some beautiful waterfalls and awesome swimming holes with rocks you can jump off of. You can hike the whole trail all the way up to the Pinhoti if you want. Awesome little day trip/swim/hike.
