The Wednesday afternoon web video is on the server:

More virga showing up on radar this afternoon over southwest Alabama. Virga is rain that evaporates before reaching the ground. I expect to see a good bit of that during the next 36 hours on the radar.
We might have a few sprinkles or patches of light rain tomorrow east of I-65, but as we have discussed here most places won't have enough rain to settle the dust. The moisture is simply too limited.
Friday and the weekend continue to look excellent, with sunny days and a nice warming trend. We should be in the low 80s by Sunday.
The 12z run of the GFS is a little more robust with the moisture return early next week, so perhaps showers and a thunderstorm need to be mentioned for Tursday thanks to a weakening cold front. The main upper support will pass well to the north of us.
We will have another opportunity for rain in the May 13-14 time frame with another cold front. But, like the system Tuesday of next week, the main upper support will pass to the north of Alabama.
Could we be finished with severe weather for the spring? I seriously doubt it, but it sure looks like the weather will remain rather tame for the next two weeks.
The first graders at Crestline Elementary were a great audience today... they will be on the KIDCAM on the 5:00 news!
