The Wednesday morning map discussion video is on the server:
http://beta.abc3340.com/weather/video.hrb
How about the models lowering temperatures for Friday morning... the GFS shows 50, and the NAM shows 53 for Birmingham Friday morning. The GFS is suggesting that Gadsden drops to 48. That really sounds good, and in respect to the observed temperatures behind the front this morning in Montana and Wyoming I think we will indeed begin to revise our forecast numbers downward as well. Chester, Montana is reporting a frosty 26 degrees as I write this.
We will still mention isolated showers along the front late tonight or tomorrow morning, but I still think most places will remain dry.
The cool snap won't last long, unfortunately... we go back into the low to mid 80s over the weekend as warmer air moves right back in and the upper ridge rebuilds. The weekend looks pretty much rain-free; the chance of a shower is so small it isn't worth a mention right now. Pretty good weather for race weekend at Talladega.
THE LONG RANGE: Looks like the next effort at a cool-down comes around October 8-10 as a nice trough sets up over the Great Lakes, pulling down another cold front this way.
TROPICS: We might have two new named storms ahead in coming days. The disturbance over the Caribbean has a decent chance at becoming tropical storm Stan within 48 hours. This one seems to be headed for either Mexico, or the southern tip of Texas.
The GFS is hinting at some kind of development off the southeast U.S. coast over the weekend, with that system moving toward the Carolinas by the middle of next week. Could this be tropical storm Tammy? Maybe so.
HEADING TO OXFORD: A reminder today is severe weather awareness day at Quintard Mall in Oxford' so if you are around that area today be sure and drop by and say hello. Jason "Boo-Boo" Simpson will be doing the noon weather live there, and I will be on the air at 5:00 and 6:00 from the mall. Brian Peters and Jason will be there pretty much all day. Read more deatils in the post below this one....
Before heading to Oxford I will have the afternoon map discussion video and blog post finished here.

We have reason to believe that Jason looks like "Boo-Boo" bear on the Yogi Bear cartoon series. This has been confirmed by lots of Yogi Bear/Boo Boo fans...
