Windy Friday, Nice Weekend Ahead:
* A few sprinkles will be possible this morning as a cold front moves across the Twin States. The main feature will be increasing winds which has warranted the issuance of a Lake Wind Advisory for areas along and north of US 80 from Noon until 6:00 PM. Winds will range from 15 to 25 mph today.* Fire officals with the Mississippi Forestry Commission say these winds will dry out what moisture we picked up the last two days. This will elevate the fire danger for the area over the weekend. Its advised that if you don't do any outdoor burning. Ed Brown with the Mississippi Forestry Commission says these same conditions should apply to West Alabama as well.As of Friday Morning, offical numbers at Key Field show we are 8.47 inches below normal on precipitation for the year.
* Once the cooler airmass moves in, the weekend looks great. Expect mostly sunny skies and daytime highs remaining in the 60s and overnight lows quite cold in the middle 30s.
* Spring offically arrives Wednesday evening...
* Have a great weekend and be sure to join Josh on his final night on Newscenter 11 at 5:00, 6:00, and 10:00. I want to wish Josh the best with his new job at WXIA-TV in Atlanta!

Hey I think you should post alert maps on your main weather page. Like when go to the front weather page, actually have maps that display alerts. Another good idea that I think would be nice too is to actually have graphical forecast maps. Just an idea..

David,
Thanks for the note! I would love to have the alert map on our website but the weather graphics system we have now will not allow us to feed this to the internet. I have to manually make a .jpg file for the graphics to load them here the blog when I post on here. We are looking at a new graphic system to improve our weather coverage later this year. This would allow us to put forecast products from our shows (radar, temperature maps, etc.) on the website and blog.
