We had planned on going up to Monte Sano mountain on Memorial Day and grilling out but looks like we'll probably get rained out. Hopefully it holds off until later in the day on Monday..

That's an old outlook. Here's the current one.



Basically a direct hit on PCB and then straight up central Alabama.
I feel like the one pin. OTOH, we had gusts to 73 mph about a month ago, with scattered outages across town. Maybe that took out the weakest trees. I have three snags, one of them about 50', down in the creek bed in our front I've been dreading taking down. They're all rotten, so there's no safe or predictable way to do it. Maybe this'll blow them down...

I'm a long time weather nerd (came by it naturally, my dad is a hard core weather nerd, shoulda been a meteorologist) and over the years I've settled on a 24-hour-max forecast, 12 hour typical forecast. Honestly, anything more than 12 hours and they're guessing (and they'er often still making wild guesses at that point) - they're commonly worse than the average MLB batter wrt accuracy. Just this past Friday night the forecast for Saturday AM was 70% chance of thunderstorms - by 8AM it had become partly cloudy, 15% chance of rain. We rucked for about two hours, not 12 hours after it was predicted that there would be a 70% chance of thunderstorms, not a drop of rain. In fact, most of us got sunburned.

At this point, meteorology has to be the easiest gig on the planet...
