The Tuesday morning map discussion video is on the server:

Is drizzly a word? If not, it should be.
Actually, I think much of the day today will be dry. We have a little light rain and drizzle on the radar this morning, but that should be over by 8:00 or so. We might even see a glimpse of the sun this afternoon. But, don't hold your breath.
The rest of the week still looks relatively wet. The most widespread rain will most likely come tomorrow and on Friday, but showers are certainly possible on Thursday, especially during the morning.
The GFS MOS numbers still look way too warm, and I will lean on the ole NAM. I do think we reach the 50s today and tomorrow, but 60 is a stretch.
WEEKEND: Another shot of cold air rolls in here Saturday night and Sunday. Not as cold as the air we dealt with this past weekend, but I do think it will get us well down in the 20s by Monday morning of next week with a clear sky and light wind.
A few showers are likely Saturday, especially during the morning, but we should be dry Saturday night and Sunday.
LONG RANGE: The GFS continues to hint at a severe weather setup for the Deep South in the March 6-7 time frame, with a shot of much colder air to follow. This trend is being established and we will keep an eye on it. For first time readers, there is no skill in a speific forecast beyond seven days, but we look for model trends and patterns. The one thing that is constant is the vast supply of cold air over much of Canada as we get into March.
I sure get the idea the first half of March will feature some wild weather swings; everything from mild days to very cold days, and some stormy days thrown in there as well. And, don't forget our biggest snow on record here came in mid-March. I am not saying it will snow here in March, but I am just saying that is a possibility always on the table.
SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK: Don't forget this is severe weather awareness week in Alabama. We will be in Tuscaloosa tomorrow at an event sponsored by the Tuscaloosa County EMA. This will be at McFarland Mall; you can see our Storm Chaser van on display and meet the weather team. Jason Simpson will be doing the weather live at 12 noon, and I will be there at 5:00 and 6:00.
STORM ALERT 2006: And, our annual severe weather awareness tour comes to Gadsden Thursday night... the show begins at 7:00 at the Gadsden Convention Hall, but get there early for a good seat and a t-shirt.
TODAY: I will be speaking to the kids at Vincent Elementary School in Shelby County this morning... I will be back in the office for the next video update and discussion, which will be posted by 3:30!
