The Tuesday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

Get set for a frosty night... most communities will drop into the 30 to 35 degree range by daybreak tomorrow with widespread frost. The colder spots will have a light freeze.
Tomorrow will be another sunny day with highs in the 60s.
NEXT RAIN: Some scattered light rain looks possible late Thursday or Thursday night, but moisture is very limited and rain amounts should be pretty spotty. No thunderstorms. Friday will be cool and dry.
WEEKEND PEEK: Another major storm system will form this weekend over the southwest U.S. More rain for Phoenix, more snow for Flagstaff. Some rain could ease into the northwest corner of the state Saturday, but rain will be much more likely on Sunday in advance of warm front advancing northward.
SPRING BREAK WEEK: Lets take a detailed look at the weather for those planning events next week:
MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT (March 20): The 12Z GFS is painting a whole new picture concerning the evolution of the southwest U.S. storm. It now brings it out as a powerful negative tilt short wave, with the associated surface low running from Memphis to the southern tip of Illinois. This is greatly different than the 06Z run we showed on the video this morning which kept us in the cool sector. If the 12Z run is correct, we might indeed get into the warm sector and might be dealing with another severe weather threat Monday afternoon into Monday night. With the model flip-flops, this is a rather low confidence event right now. Stay tuned. It will be wet to start the week one way or another across the Deep South.
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY (March 21-22): These days look dry and cool at this point.
THURSDAY (March 23): The GFS hints at some rain creeping into southwest Alabama.
FRIDAY (March 24): Winter weather fans will love the 12Z GFS... it paints a deep surface low moving across the northern Gulf of Mexico, with heavy rain developing across the Gulf coast states, and a significant snow event for the northwest part of Alabama and into Tennessee. BUT REMEMBER... this is all voodoo at this point. No confidence in anything specific here, and this feature might go away in future runs. But, we will be watching for trends. Something like this is certainly possible in March... but I am not saying it will happen. Just too far away.
Sure enjoyed seeing everyone at First Baptist in Leeds today... I spoke with the pre-school kids and they will be on ABC 33/40 News at 5:00 today.
Be sure and scroll down for J.B.'s article on the Blizzard of 1993. I will also post most severe weather pictures from yesterday shortly...
