The Friday morning map discussion video is on the server at:

There won't be a map discussion video this afternoon due to other commitments plus I don't have the portability with my recording setup that James has. Looking forward to participating in a reading program at Fultondale Elementary late this morning. But I'll be back Saturday and Sunday mornings with map discussions.

A period of relative tranquil weather is in store for us over the next several days. Cooler, drier air has moved into the southeastern US overnight so look for temperatures today to top out around 60 degrees. The air will be dry, so we're setting up for good raditional cooling tonight with temperatures expected to bottom out around freezing - a bit cooler in those normally colder valley locations.

Saturday and Sunday look like beautiful days as afternoon highs recover well into the 60s with a good supply of sunshine. A weak disturbance slides down the eastern side of the ridge on Monday and may bring some clouds to the area. Chances for any rain are very slim with limited moisture.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be twins as the ridge pattern keeps us mild and dry. The next good chance for rain will come late Wednesday and into Thursday as a strong short wave ejects from the southern Rockies. This system will butt up against the ridge so the best dynamics are expected to remain well north of Alabama. Nevertheless, a front will move into the area washing out as the main upper system support moves quickly toward the northeast.

GFS once again hinting at a strong weather system about two weeks out, but that's just something to watch and not put a great deal of faith in yet.

Certainly hope you will be able to get out and enjoy the good weather over the weekend. It's been a busy week for me, so I plan to put my feet up and get in some good reading for at least part of the weekend. Reading between the lines, that sounds like some serious napping!!

Hello Stephanie , good to see someone else is stirring in the world of weather . I was just surprised to see that NO ONE had posted any comments . I know that James , J.B. , John , & Jason are in Starkville , its allmost as if everyone else followed them & we stayed here here with Brian & Bill , which is fine also . Brian is doing good filling in for James for the time being . Anywhoos , glad you said hello , and where is Rusty & Goldwing Dave ? Hope everyone at the convention ( can't think of the technical name at the time ) is having a fun time . Have a wonderfull evening .

Hay John and Stephanie!

Yes, for the first time, if anybody can keep the severe storms out of the South and East, then please do! I am headed up to Virginia, DC, and Newyork for Spring break. When I get back I want all the storms I can get!

Glad to be back on after a long time off! I have been keeping in touch with CJ and he has told me that a lot has happened since then. CJ has advertised my web site that any can view to see my current conditions during severe weather and other very useful weather information. Since I had posted a lot of things like current conditions on the blog during winter weather, and a lot of people did not like that and for that I apologize! My site now takes car of all that, anybody can now get on and check during severe weather events.

The site can be found here, and has been reformatted!
