The Tuesday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

Usually in late March and early April we have some wild weather on the plate, but it sure looks like we won't have to deal with any major threats of severe storms, tornadoes, flooding, freezing temperatures, or snow in the next two weeks. Not bad at all...
The general pattern favors dynamic weather systems moving out of the Rockies toward the Great Lakes, with a mean ridge position over the southeast U.S., including Alabama. This should favor warmer and drier than normal weather here through mid-April.
TODAY: Not much rain this morning, as expected... the total here at Riverchase is only 0.09", and we probably have one of the heavier totals. The sun has broken out this afternoon, and our forecast highs are too low because of this. Nobody seems to be complaining.
TOMORROW/THURSDAY: Both days should be mild and mostly dry. No rain tomorrow; just an outside risk of a shower Thursday afternoon. Temperatures will rise into the 74 to 80 degree range on both days.
We note there seems to be a good chance of a significant severe weather outbreak across the nation's mid-section Thursday in the broad area from Dallas/Fort Worth to Chicago.
FRIDAY: A band of showers and storms is likely late Friday into Friday night, but with the main upper dynamics far to the north and weakening wind fields, severe weather doesn't look likely down here. Maybe a strong storm or two, but nothing too serious. Rainfall amounts of 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
THE WEEKEND: Dry and mild weather headlines our weekend forecast. Highs mostly in the 70s on Saturday and Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: Looks like we can almost take out the chance of rain early in the week. Another major storm comes out of the Rockies at mid-week, but once again this one is headed toward the Great Lakes as the ridge holds down here.
Sure enjoying seeing the kids today at the Columbiana Baptist Kindergarten and also a group of second graders at Edgewood Elementary in Homewood. As always, the KIDCAM will be on the air on ABC 33/40 News at 5:00.
SKYCAM NETWORK: Many, many requests for the SKYCAM camera/weather observation data to be placed online. That is in the works; our pals at Status Station are going to make it happen. I will post it here when the Internet data is available. Also look for new SKYCAM sites coming online in the next few weeks in places like downtown Birmingham, Inverness, Tuscaloosa, Gadsden, Gulf Shores, Cullman, Clanton, Demopolis, and Jasper. Stay tuned!
The next map discussion video will be on the server by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow!
