The Thursday afternoon video update is on the server:

NOTE: Due to our travel schedule, there will be only one video update tomorrow from Brian Peters. We will be making plenty of posts on this blog, however, from the Southeast Severe Storm Symposium at Mississippi State University.
Check out that huge mass of rain over Florida.. that is the storm the GFS identified nicely over a week ago. It passed just too far south to impact us.
Coming attractions:
Pleasant, dry weather is ahead through Sunday with temperatures recovering into the 60s. The clipper system north of us will drag a cold front through here Saturday evening, but most of the precipitation should stay north of us and we will just see a few clouds with the passage. Temperatures will drop about 5 to 8 degrees on Sunday, but the sky will be mostly sunny.
The 12Z model runs continue the trend of no phasing next week, which means a cold front coming through here Monday night with some rain, but no heavy rain or severe thunderstorms. And, the cooldown Tuesday of next week will be only a moderate one. We will go ahead and buy into this solution.
Another northern stream wave is expected to sharpen the trough later next week, which could drive colder air down here by Thursday and Friday, and I expect temperatures to dip into the 20s again on one of those mornings.
Beyond that everything still looks muddy, the GFS has no clue as to how to handle the upper low in the far southwest U.S. this weekend, it just drifts the thing down to Mexico and loses it. Makes for a low confidence outlook in the longer ranges.
A special thanks to J.B. Elliott for working extra forecast shifts for me during the Storm Alert 2005 tour... guess I will have to buy his BBQ Saturday night at the Little Dooey in Starkville...
