From AlabamaWX

WARM, DRY DAY AHEAD: Temperatures will exceed 80 degrees over much of Alabama this afternoon with a partly sunny sky. Clouds will increase tonight as moisture levels rise.

THE WEEKEND: No doubt it will rain at times over the weekend, but it certainly won’t be a wash-out, and a decent part of both days will be dry. Some thunder is possible, but the risk of severe storms will remain northwest of Alabama through Sunday evening. Highs will be in the 75-82 degree range.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT: A very unstable airmass will move into Alabama Sunday night ahead of a rather dynamic storm system that will bring the chance of severe thunderstorms to the Deep South. In their “Day 3” outlook, which is value through Monday morning at 7:00, an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) has been defined for Northwest Alabama. There is a “slight risk” (level 2/5) down to Thomasville, Rockford, and Wedowee… and a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for the rest of South Alabama.



The window for severe storms will open up a little before midnight Sunday night over the northwest corner of the state, then spreading southward through the night into Monday morning. All modes of severe thunderstorms will be possible, including large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes.

This is a “middle of the night” event, meaning it is critical that you can hear warnings. The baseline for every home is a NOAA Weather Radio. On your phone, be sure the sleep and “do not disturb” modes are turned off so you can receive notifications. If you live in a mobile home, be sure you know of a shelter that is open, or 24/7 business that can serve as a shelter. Have transportation available.

The severe weather risk will wind down by early Monday afternoon across Southeast Alabama as the storms move out of the state.

REST OF THE WEEK: Tuesday looks dry, then another system will bring showers and storms back into the state Wednesday. Thursday and Friday look mostly dry and warm with highs in the low to mid 80s as an upper ridge builds across the Deep South. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1920: The worst tornado disaster of record occurred in Chicago as a tornado killed 28 persons and caused three million dollars damage. This tornado was part of an outbreak which saw 38 tornadoes hit the Midwest and the Deep South. Over 380 people died during the Palm Sunday outbreak.

In Alabama that day, a long track tornado from near Deatsville to West Point, GA killed 17 people. The greatest destruction was in Tallapoosa County in the vicinity of Susanna, Agricola, Red Ridge. One person was killed in another tornado in Calhoun County near Jacksonville.

 

These air lift brand bags I'll have to run the included air line and install a valve stem on the lower rear door seal. I guess you'd call these manual lol. Nothing fancy

Im just saying youll need a source on the truck to be able to adjust the bags.

 

Yea I'll have a small portable compressor. I'll air them here at the house and do some testing before long trips to fine tune what air pressure works best.

 

I wonder if something like this would work? I ordered one awhile back. You're welcome to try it out.

Could always try it out and see.

 

I assume if it'll do tires, it'd do an air bag

 

I have the m18 Milwaukee inflator. WELL worth the 180 bucks. I use it to inflate the airbags on my tundra, the camper tires, and keep it in the Tacoma for off road shenanigans.

I’m nominating it for purchase of the year.

 

Last day on vacation. Headed back north tonight.

 

Mornin fellas

 

Can't you adjust them for using the trailer then air them back down?

 

Sup John

 

That’s what I do.
