**There will be no afternoon map discussion video today**
The computer used for producing the map discussion video is now rendering the Tuscaloosa tornado Towercam video. This will be about 18 minutes of the "wall to wall" coverage from yesterday when the tornado was live on the camera moving through western Tuscaloosa county. It should be finished and posted by 3:00 or so... I will put a note up on the blog when it is ready for viewing.
WHAT A SOAKING: Scroll down to see J.B.'s list of rain totals around the state from the past 24 hours. So much for this being one of the driest Septembers on record. We can thank Rita for that.
WARMER: Sunshine returns in full force tomorrow with upper 80s likely Some spots might touch 90.
COOLER: Much cooler air rolls in here by Thursday and Friday. There could be a few scattered showers along the front Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, but moisture will be very limited and many places will be not get wet. Highs drop into the 76 to 80 degree range on Thursday and Friday, and 50s look likely both Friday and Saturday morning.
WEEKEND: The 12Z run of the GFS tries to bring enough moisture in here Sunday for a few scattered showers, but for the moment we will maintain a dry forecast both Saturday and Sunday with highs in the low 80s, near normal for late September in Alabama.
TROPICS: Models are now picking up on the wave in the central Caribbean. Two models take the system into the Gulf of Mexico, two turn it more northward toward the Bahamas. I have fear this thing is headed for the Gulf...
And, the parade of waves is still active in the eastern Atlantic as well. Nope, this hurricane season is far from over.
The next map discussion video will be produced by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow as we get back on schedule...
