The Monday morning map discussion video is on the server:

Thanks to Brian Peters for handling these video updates last week while I spent some time with my family. Watch the video this morning and see the best facial hair I can grow in seven days. Certainly more I can grow on top of my head in years. Gotta find the razor by mid afternoon.
We have a well defined circulation at 700 mb (about 10,000 feet up) around Troy and Ozark, over southeast Alabama, so today should be very similar to yesterday with storms rotating around that feature (meaning they will move from southeast to northwest up here). Like recent days, some heavy rain is likely in spots, and a few strong storms will form as well by early afternoon. As always this time of the year, we will have to watch for wet microbursts, but the potential doesn't look as great as the setup this past Friday.
Highs today will be only in the mid 80s for most places; about five to seven degees below normal for early August in Alabama.
Heights will slowly rise over the latter half of the week, which means afternoon showers and storms should thin out Wednesday through Friday as temperatures move back toward the 90 degree mark.
Still NO sign of any excessive heat during the next 16 days (mid 90s or hotter)... I still think the hottest weather of the summer is behind us. Hey, I am even beginning to see some nice colors showing up in some leaves, which is a sign fall can't be that far away. Another good sign of fall coming soon is that we have Monday Night Football returning on ABC 33/40 tonight.
Looks like typical summer weather for the weekend ahead, with partly sunny days and the risk of a few scattered storms each afternoon.
TROPICS: Nothing threatening the U.S. this week. Irene and Harvey will stay out over the open Atlantic, and the eastern Atlantic and African wave train for the moment seems pretty benign.
SHUTTLE: No landing this morning due to clouds over Florida.
JENNINGS: Sad to read of the death of ABC newsman Peter Jennings this morning. I did not agree with his politics or point of view on many issues, but the guy was very, very smooth. He was quite the example for those of us who need to ad-lib often; he rarely made a mistake on the air. His knowledge of world issues was also remarkable.
He also seemed like a person who indeed was searching for the truth; I hope he found it before his death. I also hope his death makes smokers pause and think about what they are doing.
Will have the next update on the web by 3:30 today as I get "back in the saddle".
