The Thursday afternoon web video is on the server:

Thanks to the kindergarten kids at Meadow View Elementary in Alabaster... a great audience today! And, thanks to Dianne and the crew at the Dairy Queen in Hueytown for the cool ice cream cake. I have been speaking in schools for 27 years and I have never gotten an ice cream cake. As soon as I finish writing this I am going to give it a try.
MORE ACTIVE WEATHER AHEAD...
As advertised, we are getting a nice break from the rain this afternoon. In fact, from Birmingham northward and westward the sun is shining brightly. But, low level moisture is still in place here. Birmingham's dewpoint is 64, while dry air has invaded far northwest Alabama where the dewpoint at Muscle Shoals is 41. Looks like the dry line has stopped just northwest of Birmingham. It might slip past us in the next hour or so, but it won't move much more to the south.
We are getting set for round two of rain and storms late tonight and tomorrow...
SPC maintains a moderate risk of severe storms for tonight from east Texas into west Alabama, but I really think our action will not begin until after midnight, and maybe even toward daybreak. SPC has a slight risk of severe storms for all of Alabama, and that outlook looks good.
We expect rain and storms to become widespread again after midnight tonight into tomorrow morning. In fact, it will be very similar to the storms early today; we will have the possibility of hail and very heavy rain. And, with many spots getting between 1 and 3 inches this morning, flash flooding will be a real possibility. Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible, but the hail and flood threats will be higher.
The rain will end from west to east during the midday and afternoon hours, and the weekend ahead will be dry.
Way down the road, it still looks like our next strong or severe storm event will come around April 6 (next Wednesday).
Time to try this ice cream cake!
