The Thursday morning map discussion video is on the server:

A quick scan of temperatures across the state this morning show readings mostly in the 30 to 35 degree range. The wind did not go calm in most locations overnight, but we will have an hour or two to see the wind drop and temperatures down in the 20s.
We will enjoy another day of blue sky and sunshine today with afternoon temperatures in the 50s. Today's "normal" high/low is 54/32... we will be very close to that.
We begin to warm up a bit tomorrow, and we will be back in the mid to upper 60s over the weekend.
WEEKEND STORM SYSTEM: We will still highlight a healthy round of rain and storms on Sunday statewide. But, the GFS really doesn't amplify the upper trough until the system arrives around here, which will lessen the risk of severe storms on Sunday. I still think we see rain amounts of one to two inches, but with the less amplified trough and the usual concern about the lack of really unstable air, I think we can hold off on playing up any big severe weather threat for now.
The GFS (06Z run) moves the surface low from near Milwaukee to Cincinnati Sunday into Monday. This would keep clouds over the state much of the day Monday along with a change to colder weather; we might be in the 40s most of the day Monday if that solution is correct.
FROZEN ALASKA: I see Fort Yukon, Alaska is reporting 56 degrees below zero as I write this post. I have to wonder if some spots will get down below -60 up there again this morning. Fairbanks yesterday was no warmer that 35 below zero during the day. The cold is brutal up there, and watch for it to move sometime next week.
TODAY: The ole calendar is jam packed today (and really every day through May
... I will be stopping by Bragg Middle School in Gardendale to share the science of meteorology, and tonight I will be the "ring master" at the open of the Ringling Brothers/Barnum and Bailey circus at the BJCC. I will do the weather live from the site at 5:00 and 6:00, but in between all of this I should have time to squeeze out an afternoon map discussion video, which will be on the server by 3:30...
