The Monday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

Colder and drier air will move into Alabama tonight and tomorrow following a band of showers and storms late this morning. Those storms are now moving into the southeast part of the state where a Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect.
Tomorrow will be a sunny but cool day with lots of sunshine and highs in the 50s.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY: Looks like Wednesday will be dry, but showers and storms are possible after midnight Wednesday night into the day Thursday with an upper impulse moving through. Severe weather is not likely, and rain probably won't be all that heavy on Thursday.
FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT: A much stronger system will bring another round of showers and storms in here by Friday afternoon or Friday night. This one will be very robust, and the dynamics will certainly support a threat of severe weather. As always in January, there is some question concerning the amount of mT (maritime tropical) air available and the associated instability, but with the Gulf of Mexico being open for a couple of days, I am concerned severe storms will be a very real possibility. The 12Z GFS suggests the best chance of severe weather will come from about 3:00 p.m. Friday through midnight Friday night, but that will probably change as we get closer to the event.
SATURDAY: A rapidly deepening surface low will move north of Alabama, and will pull down sharply colder air into the state with brisk north winds. Wrap around clouds look likely much of the state, and there could even be a few snow flurries over the Tennessee Valley of extreme North Alabama. Places like Huntsville and Scottsboro might remain in the 30s much of the day, while we stuggle to get into the low 40s down here.
LONG RANGE: The weather still looks very cold for the eastern half of the U.S. through much of February. I do think the weather will be considably colder down this way as well, and some mischief is very possible in the southern branch of the storm track along the way. Stay tuned...
We are working on getting for Storm Alert 2006 production all finished up and ready to go... I will have the next map discussion video on the server by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow!
