The Tuesday afternoon map discussion is on the server:

We are getting back into service here, and the regular schedule will begin again for our map discussion video updates...
Katrina is near Clarksville, TN, and is now a tropical depression. The system will be in upstate New York tomorrow, and into Canada by Thursday.
Bottom line is that we will be dry for the next three to five days, with daytime highs near 90, and morning lows near 70. We could use a few quiet days here in the weather office.
TROPICS: A wave 1,500 miles east of the Lesser Antilles could develop into a depression in coming days; model output suggests a general northwest movement, and it does not look like it will be in a position to threaten the Gulf of Mexico. A decent chance it will recurve before impacting the U.S. mainland if it develops at all.
UPWELLING: I cannot access the NOAA Buoy site at this time... but I imagine there was considerable upwelling from Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico. Sea surface temperatures should be cooler over the next week or two thanks to cooler water pulled up to the surface by Katrina's wave action. This is good news for a ravaged part of the United States.
Watching video coming in from New Orleans and Mississippi... makes me think of that riveting special weather statement issued by the National Weather Service in New Orleans Sunday morning. I don't know who wrote that, but he was right on target:

Lets all pray for these people tonight.
Next discussion will be posted by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.

I read somewhere on the 33/40 weather site where some individuals had sent some ugly e-mail notes. I was shocked and deeply saddened. I can't imagine anyone being upset with your updates. Anytime our family wants to know more about the weather, we just go right to ABC 33/40. We feel like you all are part of our family, and we consider you to be very reliable.
I read the ABC 33/40 e-forecasts daily and I'm thankful for the opportunity to have it readily available. You all obviously do your homework, enjoy your work and my family appreciates you very much. We will readily take any weather advice you are willing to share. Thank you for all you do!
