The Thursday morning web video is on the server:

We are doing to begin doing podcasts (audio forecasts for use on a computer or portable MP3 player, like an iPod) twice daily during the week; they are served by our RSS feed:

Jason Simpson will handle the early morning feed; I will do the afternoon update. Pretty cool stuff; guess I will have to get an MP3 player now!
Wow... the radar is quiet this morning for a change. However, the upper trough is still to the west, and I would imagine scattered to numerous showers and storms will form by midday, continuing through the afternoon. Some of the storms could be strong, especially if the sun can break through. But, I don't expect any organized severe weather. If you want some real severe weather action today, try Kansas or Nebraska.
TOMORROW AND SATURDAY: The GFS is relatively dry, while the NAM is wetter. I think we will side with the GFS for now. There will be showers around, but they should be widely spaced as the upper trough moves east of Alabama. With some good intervals of sunshine, afternoon temperatures should get back into the low to mid 80s.
SUNDAY: The GFS shows a short wave approaching in a southwest flow aloft, so there is a chance of showers and storms will become more numerous on Sunday.
Very moist air stays in place through early next week, so scattered showers and storms will stay in the forecast for a while.
JUNE 11-15: The GFS tries to lower surface pressures in the Gulf with high pressure aloft. HMMMMM. No skill in trying to forecast anything specific so far in advance, but I would not be shocked to see something try to spin up down there in a week or two. We will see...
Headed over to Anniston this morning with Brian Peters for an assignment in Calhoun county... be back in the office later today for the afternoon update!
