The Monday afternoon web video is on the server:

Our forecast will continue to highlight dry and warm weather through mid-week. There will be a few periods of high clouds, but nothing to seriously block the sun. The big message is that an upper air trough will set up along the eastern seaboard this weekend, which will mean cooler than normal temperatures for Alabama beginning Saturday, lasting well into next week.
NEXT RAIN: Showers seem likely by Thursday night and Friday with the first cold front passing through. No severe weather, no heavy rain. Maybe a little thunder and lightning.
THE WEEKEND: I still think the GFS MOS numbers are too high for the weekend. For now I expect highs in the 60s and low in the 40s this weekend with a cool northerly breeze. The 12Z run of the GFS takes the moisture out of here Friday night, so the weekend looks dry at this point.
NEXT WEEK: Another front will pass through on Tuesday (April 26) with another chance of showers, and even colder air for the next next few days (April 27-29). I would not be totally shocked if some of the colder spots had a little light frost somewhere in there, but no freeze. We will be more specific with this late season cool snap this weekend.
Thanks to my pals in the first grade down at Centreville Elementary this morning... they were great!
