Alabama thread!

From AlabamaWX

WARMING TREND AHEAD: We have another very cool morning across Alabama with temperatures mostly in the 40s… a few colder spots have reached the upper 30s. Look for a high in the 70s this afternoon with sunshine in full supply. The weather stays dry tomorrow with a high in the 75-80 degree range.

We will continue to mention the chance of a few showers Thursday, but rain amounts will be light, and some places won’t see a drop. Otherwise, expect a mix of sun and clouds with a high in the upper 70s for most places.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: An upper ridge will deflect the rain/storm producing systems well to the west and north of Alabama; our weather looks warm and dry with partly sunny days and fair nights. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s, with lows in the 60s.

NEXT WEEK: A weakening front will bring the chance of showers to Alabama Monday, and possibly Tuesday, but severe storms are not expected with the main dynamic support passing far to the north. The weather looks dry Wednesday through Friday… the week will be warm with highs in the 80s. Still no sign of any high impact weather event (flooding, severe storms, etc) for Alabama for the next seven to ten days. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



RAIN UPDATE: Here is a look at rain totals so far this year, and the departure from average…

Montgomery 25.76″ (+8.00″)
Muscle Shoals 24.13″ (+5.95″)
Tuscaloosa 21.01″ (+2.08″)
Dothan 19.50″ (+1.46″)
Birmingham 19.11″ (-0.32″)
Mobile 18.21″ (-1.57″)
Huntsville 18.14″ (-0.89″)
Anniston 17.90″ (-0.69″)

ON THIS DATE IN 1948: A three block long section was devastated at the edge of Ionia, Iowa in Chickasaw County by an estimated F4 tornado. Six homes and a church were leveled, and nine other homes were severely damaged. Two deaths occurred in the collapse of the Huffman Implement Store. Overall, the tornado killed five people, and injured 25.

ON THIS DATE IN 1999: A horrific hailstorm moved southeast from Pennsylvania across Garrett County, Maryland and into the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Some communities saw a third of the homes with siding and roof damage. Some required total replacement. Windows were broken, cars dented, and windshields smashed. Piles of shredded plant debris were left on the ground in the storm path.

 

Morning guys.

Anyone heard how @gixxerphil 's trip is going?

 

Morning Hayden, I think he's off grid you get up here in the Appalachian area and signal is spotty.
I think there is a few from Bama going to meet up with him sometime. Let's hope...
As the saying goes no news is good news .

 

Good morning everyone!!

 

This is what I’ve been working on the past few days. Getting my garden ready to plant

 

We got our garden planted last weekend. I swear all the plants have grown a few inches since then!

 

I’ll be getting some groceries in the ground tomorrow.

 

So far taters and today onions. Frost last night so there's that.

 

He seems to be good. He sent me a picture earlier today.

 

Black Olive pepper


Ornamental Thai


Ghost pepper


Strawberries


A medley of maters, peppers, beans, and okra.

 

Oh, and we canned some orange habanero pepper jelly, red grape jelly, pintos, and 14 lbs of chicken. All added to our food stocks for hard times.

Fortune favors the prepared.

 

I’ll be there Thursday night

 

Right on!

Wifey is trying her best to force me to go. Waiting to see if she pulls the pew pew on me . but doggie is going down hill fast and I want to be there for her. That said, if I do go, I’ll leave out early Thursday morning. Wifey will be back in town from work that night.

 

Not Tacoma related, but now we have a sponsor for ATVs! Working on more..

Picture they wanted was just a simple front and rear side by side comparison of lift and no lift. We ended up lifting both after the pictures of course.

Never had any pepper jelly, what’s it like?

 

Spicy

 

It’s sweet like jelly and hot like pepper.

I can’t believe you’re in the south and never had pepper jelly. It’s a great combination!

This batch will be super hot with the Habaneros from our garden last year.

 

I worked at several farm stands growing up. Ppl in south love their pepper jelly!

 

I'll be there with the KLX most likely Friday. Gotta get grades finished Thursday and posted before I skip town.

 

I’m not a fan of stuff so hot you can’t enjoy it but I do grow spicy banana peppers and some of those will set you on fire . Then I have to cool it off with a regular jalapeño.
