The Thursday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

Was it cold this morning, or what? Check out J.B.'s list of lows below this post.
Temperatures have warmed nicely from the lows this morning, but the numbers are still below MOS guidance for today. The MOS products had us in the mid 50s; looks like many places will not reach 50 again today. The MOS has had a bad warm bias all season...
Having said that we will be back in the 20s late tonight, even though the MOS products have us close to 30. Temperatures will drop quickly once the sun goes down.
I do think we finally reach the 50s tomorrow with ample sunshine.
WEEKEND SYSTEM: No big change in the weekend forecast; the GFS now suggests the best chance of rain will come from about 1:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Saturday. QPF guidance is back up to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch for most places around here. Christmas Day should be mostly cloudy and colder, with tempertaures holding in the 40s all day with plenty of leftover clouds. A little drizzle is possible over the Tennessee Valley of extreme north Alabama, and I guess a few snow flakes are not out of the question when the upper trough passes overhead Sunday. But, most of those flakes should melt before hitting the ground with surface temps in the 40s.
NEXT WEEK: The GFS continues to show a chance of rain in the Wednesday-Thursday time frame. I don't there will be enough cold air around here for a chance of wintry precipitation at this point.
WATCHING THE NAO: The latest GFS North Atlantic Oscillation forecast still has the index in neutral territory for the next 15 days. If the NAO begins to go negative, some really cold air could drop down here. We will keep an eye on it. Still, I think temperatures average below normal for the next 15 days here in Alabama.
Brian Peters will have the morning map discussion video tomorrow, and I will handle the afternoon video one more time before I take a long winter break...
Be listening to WZZK-FM (104.7) tomorrow morning from 6 until 9... I will be hosting again, and my pal MIKE RAITA will be joining me. I know he won't stiff me like Dave Baird did this morning. In Dave's defense, he never totally promised to be there. But, I thought at least he would answer his phone!
