The Monday afternoon web video is on the server:

Our headline on the morning blog post read "Not Much Rain", and that has exactly been the situation today across Alabama. Everything unfolding as expected; the MCS over Arkansas died, and it looks like the new storms that form this afternoon will be over south Alabama and south Georgia. Most communities over north Alabama will be rain-free this evening.
Drier air moves into the state tonight, and tomorrow will be less humid. Then, a nice surge of cooler air moves in here tomorrow night, which will lower temperatures into the low 50s by Wednesday morning. Most places will stay below 80 degrees all day on Wednesday with low humidity; very pleasant weather for late May in Alabama.
We will keep the forecast rain-free on Thursday and Friday, although a surface front will try to nose in here from the north by Friday.
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: The 12Z run of the GFS hints at a few showers on Saturday as the surface front stalls out, but if we do see any rain it certainly won't be a wash-out. Sunday looks dry, but showers and storms should return a week from today, on Memorial Day, as an upper trough approaches from the west. Hopefully we will see some beneficial rain Monday and Tuesday, May 30-31, since our weather looks really dry between now and then.
Congratulations to the Shelby County EMA for their work in getting the county proclaimed "Storm Ready" by the National Weather Service!
