The Tuesday morning map discussion video is on the server:

What a delightful morning... is this June or April? As I write this, Crossville (in DeKalb County) is reporting 48 degrees, most other sites are down in the 50s. We will run a full list of morning lows a little later here on the blog.
TODAY: We will warm into the mid 80s today with lots of sunshine. We will probably see some high cirrus clouds from storms northwest of here, but the low levels remain dry.
TOMORROW/WEDNESDAY: Both the NAM and the GFS have really backed off on any chance of rain tomorrow and Thursday. We will continue to mention the risk of a few scattered showers or storms for now, but if the model trend continues we will scale back on any chance of rain. Remember models usually don't handle northwest flow storms very well in summer.
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY: The upper high to the west will slowly nose in here, so the weather looks basically very warm (hot if you are outside
and mostly dry. Highs in the 88 to 92 degree range with plenty of sunshine. Guess you can't rule out an afternoon shower or storm somewhere (after all, this is June), but warm air aloft should keep a lid on things.
LONG RANGE: Nothing really out of the ordinary shows up on the 00Z GFS. We do note a nice upper air anti-cyclone over the Gulf of Mexico by June 14; we wonder if that might set up good conditions for "back yard" tropical action. Temperatures here look seasonal.
WEATHER BRAINS: A new episode will be posted shortly... David Black had some of his radio buddies put together some "negative political ads" encourging people to "vote" for either James Spann or Brian Peters for Chief Meteorologist. Some very funny stuff... we all need a good laugh after watching all of these negative campaign ads.
The next map discussion video will be posted by 3:30 this afternoon!
