The Monday morning map discussion video is on the server:
http://beta.abc3340.com/weather/video.hrb
What a soaking during the pre-dawn hours... many spots picked up 2 to 4 inches. We will post a full listing of actual observations here a little later. That is one of the positives... we sure needed that rain.
A check of my rain gauge here in northern Shelby county shows 4.06 inches!
I will have the towercam video of the Tuscaloosa tornado posted by early afternoon on the video page (the same page that features the map discussion videos)....
I really felt sorry for my friends at the other local stations yesterday... I know they caught the large majority of the hate mail since we only covered some informercials (we did have to cover the first part of Extreme Home Makeover)... they had to deal with golf and NFL football issues. I would not want to see their inbox.
I am really thankful the severe weather ended by the time "Desperate Housewives" came on the air. Otherwise I would have to be out of the country for a while.
Soon enough we will all have digital TV receivers and with our multicasting ability this won't be a problem anymore....
TROPICS: Nothing especially organized for now, but the season is far from over. Watching one wave over the central Caribbean this morning, and a series of waves in the eastern Atlantic. A good looking one is about to emerge off the coast of Africa.
AROUND HERE: The rain will push eastward today... ending from west to east. The rest of the week will be dry. Afternoons very warm tomorrow and Wednesday with upper 80s likely; some spots might even reach 90. Then, a nice shot of much cooler air rolls in here Wednesday night. This will drop highs into the 78-82 degree range by Thursday and Friday, and a good chance we go into the 50s by Friday morning.
THE WEEKEND: This is race weekend at Talladega. Looks pretty good for now; we will not mention any chance of rain with comfortable temperatures. We will watch a short wave moving through Oklahoma up toward Illinois; this might bring a few clouds but the air will be pretty dry, and with the wave passing to the north we will stick with a dry forecast.
Going to eat an early lunch with some third graders and will be into the station to put the towercam video up on the web site. We do have still pictures on the blog sent in by a viewer.... will be interesting to see the story survey results from the National Weather Service later today.
The afternoon map discussion will be posted by 3:30 as always.
