The Friday afternoon web video is on the server:

Note there will be no video updates this weekend; Brian Peters will be down in Mobile with Jason Simpson for a weather conference.
Always tough forecasting the clearing process after a big upper storm like this one; today there have been some very nice intervals of sunshine over east Alabama, while areas west of I-65 have been socked in by clouds all day. All of Alabama should see a good deal of sunshine tomorrow and Sunday with afternoon temperatures well into the 70s.
NEXT STORM SYSTEM: The GFS continues to suggest the greatest chance of severe storms here will be from about 8:00 Monday night through 8:00 Tuesday morning. I still think this might be too fast; I would not be shocked if the GFS slows the system down in model runs over the weekend.
The 12Z GFS shows a very favorable setup for severe storms on Monday over Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana. This looks like a high end moderate risk, maybe even a high risk situation.
The negative tilt trough seems to weaken a bit on Tuesday to the northwest of Alabama, but there is no doubt there will be some type of severe weather threat with the system here. It could be very significant, and we will update the situation here in coming days as the system develops to the west of Alabama.
Enjoyed seeing the kids today at Inverness Elementary; I will be speaking tonight at a big city-wide Christian singles function at Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church between the 6:00 and the 10:00 news.
Have a great weekend!
