The Tuesday afternoon map discussion video is on the server:

A reminder... I will be on vacation beginning tomorrow. I return for duty Monday June 5. Brian Peters will be handling the map discussion video duties while I am away. Brian doesn't keep the insane hours I deal with daily; his post times might be a bit different.
TONIGHT/TOMORROW: No real change; the upper air high seems to have squashed most of the afternoon storms today, although one good one has formed near Harpersville and Vincent as I write this. It is tiny, however, and any additional storms this evening should be isolated. Same deal tomorrow. Hot and hazy with low 90s, and only isolated afternoon storms.
THURSDAY/FRIDAY: The heat begins to back off as heights lower and a surface "c" front approaches from the north. It dawned on me that people watching the video might think I was saying "sea" front instead of "c" front. I just don't like using "cold front" in late May or June around here. No such thing.
Scattered to numerous showers and storms are likely late Thursday into Friday; hopefully many communities will see 1/2 inch of rain or so. Maybe more in spots.
WEEKEND: Nice weather for early June. The "c" front moves down to near Mobile, and we enjoy lower humidity and cooler nights Saturday and Sunday. No rain, highs in the mid to upper 80s, early morning lows in the low 60s. Maybe even some upper 50s for the cooler valleys.
NEXT WEEK: The upper ridge begins to rebuild, and we go back into the low 90s by mid-week. A few afternoon storms might show up by Tuesday or Wednesday, but nothing widespread with the warmer air aloft.
WESTERN GULF: Looks like the surface trough is inland. Earlier today winds gusted to over 40 mph along the middle Texas coast. Even with no surface tropical development, a big conveyor belt of copious tropical moisture is aimed at the Texas coast, where some flooding might become a problem in the next few days.
Once again, thanks in advance to John Oldshue, J.B. Elliott, Bill Murray, and Brian Peters for covering during the next few days! They will keep the blog very active, I am sure....

J.B....do you still have the maps of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico in file form? I would like to use them to track tropical systems.
Thanks...

Go to the very bottom of this link and there are three hurricane tracking charts. You can click on any of them, bring them up full size and print.
I assume this is what you are referring to??
