The Monday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

Sorry for the lack of posts here today; I spoke to the kids at Bluff Park Elementary School (watch for them on the KIDCAM on ABC 33/40 News today at 5:00
... then it was on to J.B. Elliott's place helping him to get back online. We are all back in operation now.... I wrote the seven day forecast package for the web for J.B. today.
I have not seen final storm surveys from the Dyer/Gibson County Tennessee tornado... will be interesting to see how that is rated. I understand a special "go team" from the NWS has to come into an area if a tornado is thought to be an F4 or F5... it is not done by local offices. Might be tomorow before we get the verdict. Very sad seeing all of the images on the news today from the hardest hit areas... we have seem images like that so often here in Alabama.
COOLER AIR: Beautiful weather for Alabama continues through mid-week, with sunny mild days and clear but chilly nights. Lows will mostly be in the low 40s, but some of the colder spots might reach the upper 30s tomorrow and Wednesday morning. Highs will be close to 70.
NEXT RAIN EVENT: The 12Z run of the GFS is a little faster with the system at the end of the week. For now, we are highlighting showers and storms late Friday and Friday night. The 12Z GFS suggests it might be an event during the day Friday. Also, the 12Z GFS shows a little better dynamic forcing down here... so some strong to severe storms might be possible if that happens.
The system that will bring us a chance of showers and storms on Friday will bring a threat of more severe weather to the nation's mid-section on Thursday and Thursday night. Could be a significant outbreak.
LONG RANGE: The GFS continues to suggest the main "severe weather alley" through the middle of the month will be from the southern plains to the Great Lakes.... this means we will catch only the trailing fronts, and the best chance of the "red letter day" type outbreaks will stay north and west of here. We will be watching for signs of a pattern change.
AM WONDERING: Which national media outlet will be the first to report "global warming" was responsible for yesterday's tornado outbreak? Surely it will happen sooner than later.
The next map discussion video will be posted by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow....
