The Tuesday afternoon web video is on the server:

I am seeing a few light echoes on radar over central Alabama this afternoon in a band from near Linden to Montgomery to Auburn, but I doubt if any of that is reaching the ground. The air remains very dry, and our chance of rain stays very low for the next seven days or so.
We might see a few sprinkles on Thursday with a passing short wave, but once again the lack of moisture will prevent most places from seeing any measurable rain. If we do get rain on Thursday, it probably won't be enough to settle the dust.
A warming trend begins Friday which will continue through the weekend; we should be close to 80 degrees by Sunday.
The 12z run of the GFS is hinting the next decent rain event will be at mid-month, in the May 15-17 time frame, as a long wave trough tries to become established over the central U.S. This is the first time I have seen this; lets see if we get some model consistency in future runs.
I enjoyed speaking over at Pleasant Grove school in Cleburne county today at Hollis Crossroads... the kids were great. Hard to believe we are close to wrapping up this year; this will be the 26th year of school programs and KIDCAM videos for me. I am well into the second generation now!
