The Friday morning map discussion video is on the web, and also available on iTunes:

What a great morning... most reporting stations around the northern half of the state are somewhere between 45 and 50 degrees as I wriite this. Today will feature maximum sunshine, a cool breeze, and temperatures about 10 degrees below normal for late September; most places will see a high in the low 70s.
Tomorrow morning will be the coolest with mid 40s likely; the cooler valleys have a shot at the 38 to 42 degree range. But, after tomorrow, we will flip into a warm pattern to begin the month of October.
THE WEEKEND: Lots of sunshine both Saturday and Sunday; we will reach the upper 70s on Saturday, and low 80s Sunday.
NEXT WEEK: An upper air ridge builds across the Deep South next week, and that will provide warm afternoon temperatures all week, mostly in the mid 80s. Nights and early mornings will remain fairly comfortable, however, with lows in the 55 to 62 degree range most mornings. The upper ridge also means a dry week. At this point we do not see any significant chance of rain for the next seven days.
LONG RANGE: The GFS brings back the eastern U.S. trough at mid-month; the 00Z run hints at a strong cold front with rain and storms around October 14-15, followed by much cooler air.
TROPICS: Tropical Storm Isaac will stay out to sea, and the other features scattered across the Atlantic basin look really weak and disorganized at this time.
Our midday crew will be live down at the Southern Women's Show at the BJCC today from 11:00 until 12:00 (that is the new time for our midday newscast); I will be coming in to back up Jason Simpson, hanging out in the weather office. So, I will have the afternoon map discussion easily on time today by 3:30 this afternoon. Enjoy your Friday!
