The Friday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

Scattered showers and storms have formed over the northern half of Alabama and into East Mississippi this afternoon in advance of a surface front. We will maintain the chance of scattered showers and storms tonight, but with limited instability, marginal wind fields, and most of the real dynamic forcing well to the north, we don't expect a problem with severe weather.
Rainfall amounts will be around one inch over the far northern part of the state... amount down this way should be between a quarter and a half inch.
THE WEEKEND: I think most of the weekend will be dry. Just a few isolated or widely scattered showers tomorrow and Sunday. Highs will be in the 75 to 82 degree range both days.
NEXT WEEK: Another weak front could trigger a few scattered showers or storms on Monday, but once again the main show will be well to the north of Alabama. The middle of the week will be dry (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday); then another weak system approaches at the end of the week with a chance of showers.
Still no sign of any major severe weather or flooding problems through mid-April. Temperatures should remain above normal; rainfall below normal.
Thanks to the kids at Riverchase Elementary; I had the chance to speak to the entire student body this morning and they were great. Watch for them on the KIDCAM today at 5:00 on ABC 33/40 News.
Headed out shortly for a live shot at Carver High School in Birmingham... for a special fund raiser for their choir. This has been a very busy week... I am looking forward to a little down time this weekend. Brian Peters will handle the map discussions this weekend; I will have my next one on the server by Monday morning at 7:00!
