The Thursday morning map discussion video is on the server:

I am really a little sad... mourning the end of the long May cool snap. The weather around here is looking really warm and humid this weekend and through all of next week. As discussed here in recent days, our next good cool snap will probably come in October.
TODAY: The chance of showers this afternoon seems to be pretty small here, but I would not be surprised if a few show up over the northeast part of the state, over Jackson, Madison, and Marshall counties. The warming trend begins; we go into the upper 70s today. Some places might reach uo for the first time since May 4.
TOMORROW: Interesting to note SPC has the northern third of Alabama in a slight risk for severe storms, while our forecast reflects just a few isolated afternooon showers or storms. With the increased daytime heat (we will be in the 80s), and cold air aloft still around (although not as cold as recent days)... there is some school of thought a few strorng storms could fire up Friday afternoon over North Alabama. Dynamics are really marginal, and I think any storms will be pretty widely spaced.
THE WEEKEND: The weather looks very warm and mostly dry for Saturday and Sunday. Understand this is getting into the time of year when it is hard to say there is NO chance of rain, but any showers should be few and far between both afternoons. Temperatures will easily reach the mid 80s, and parts of West Alabama might even see upper 80s. Get your air conditioner ready.
NEXT WEEK: A warm ridge will cover Alabama, so the first half of the week will be generally dry and warm. The southern edge of the westerlies will dip down toward North Alabama over the latter half of the week, so scattered showers and storms might show up by Thursday and Friday (May 25-26).
The afternoon map discussion video will be posted by 3:30 this afternoon..... stay tuned!
