The Wednesday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

Sure looks like we will have a hard time reaching the 60 degree mark until early next week. A very chilly weather pattern will continue into the weekend with temperatures about 15 degrees below normal for late March in Alabama.
And, once again we stress that we will have the potential of freezing temperatures and frost every morning all the way through Sunday, with lows in the 25 to 35 degree range (generally speaking).
Clouds will move into the state tomorrow with a fairly strong short wave, but no surface moisture means little chance of significant rain. I continue to mention the chance of a few sprinkles south of Birmingham tomorrow evening, but I think you will have to go down to the Gulf coast to find measurable rain.
NEXT RAIN EVENT: Still looks like the next rain event for Alabama will be Tuesday of next week, but the system looks pretty weak for late March. Rain not too heavy, and no severe weather threat if the GFS is correct. But, at least we should be in the 60s by Monday and Tuesday of next week.
LONG RANGE: The GFS is advertising rain/storm events here around March 31 and April 4. No confidence in timing or details at this phase of the game.
TV SPECIAL: Don't forget to watch our Storm Alert 2006 TV special on ABC 33/40 this Sunday evening from 6:00 until 7:00 p.m. We will feature all of the video elements we used on the Storm Alert 2006 tour across Alabama last month. Bill Castle is putting this special together; he is the best. If you are out of market, I will post the show to the Internet sometime next week over on our video page.
I will have the next map discussion video posted early tomorrow morning by 7:00 a.m.!
