Georgia Forecast for 7/21/13 **SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS DAY**

Hey all,
Sorry for not posting daily forecasts, and live data here lately. I had lots of wild stuff going on, not mentioning making quite a few posts on our main forecast center (US Weather Plus usweatherplus.wordpress.com), and working on our Facebook page too.
Before I continue to my forecast for tomorrow, I want to announce some fresh news and changes in our forecasting program.
I have made different "action" days for Georgia, depending on the threat.

• Severe Weather Awareness Day (When there is a chance of strong/severe storms).
• Severe Weather Action Day (When there is a large severe weather event likely across the state).
• River/Flash Flooding Action Day (When there is lots of flooding, both river and flash flooding). 
• Winter Weather Awareness Day (When there is a minor sleet/snow/ice event possible).
• Winter Weather Action Day (When there is a sleet/ice/snow storm likely).
• Tropical Weather Awareness Day (When remnants of a tropical depression or weak tropical storm may be impacting us). 
• Tropical Weather Action Day (When a tropical storm or hurricane is likely).

I declare tomorrow as a Severe Weather Awareness Day. The next time one of these "days" goes into effect, I'll put it onto my forecast map.

Below is my forecast map for tomorrow for Georgia. More details below. 

***SEVERE WEATHER THREAT 7/17/13***

Below is my forecast map for the storms today across the state.

At first, there will be some isolated severe storms and scattered strong storms. But then a bunch of large clusters will move in from the east, which will likely be severe. They could bring the following:

• Damaging Wind 55+ MPH
• Large Hail
• Flash Flooding
• Heavy Rain

Hot Blocking Pattern Possible Next Week and Weekend

Here is an outlook by GA Weather Plus regarding the hot pattern sue to high pressure blocking next week.

PLEASE NOTE: Even though it says sunny, during the summer, thunderstorm chances linger even when there is blocking, so even though widespread thunderstorm activity is not anticipated, a stray one might catch you by surprise. 

Storms Today and Tonight Across Georgia

I am sorry for the lack of updates recently. I have been busy on our main site, US Weather Plus, and on the Facebook page, so please visit the site and like the page!

Looks like the severe weather threat is lower than previously mentioned, but the potential remains for some strong storms and rain, locally heavy.  Below is my forecast map for today and tonight.

The main threats in the orange areas will be:

• Rain
• Marginal Wind Gusts of 30-40 MPH
• Minor Flooding

The main threats with the strongest storms in the red area will be:

• Rain, Locally Heavy
• Wind Gusts 40-50 MPH
• Flooding/Flash Flooding

Northern Georgia is in a Flash Flood Watch Through All of Today and Tonight. Flash flooding may occur quickly due to the extremely saturated grounds. 0.5-1 inch of water would be enough for flash flooding, although as much as 3+ inches are possible with the strongest rain squalls. 

Georgia Severe Weather Discussion & Forecast for 7/9/13

On Thursday, a front will impact our area. It looks like the front will bring some severe thunderstorms, although they will not be very widespread. Currently, confidence is increasing in a minor severe weather event across northern Georgia, and maybe even central and southern Georgia. Flaso flooding is going to be an enormous concern, due to the extremely saturated grounds and heavy rainfall we had over the past week. Even though additional rainfall will not be high, flash flooding will occur very quickly with storms, and river flooding even quicker.

Below is a graphic, which shows basically what we could be expecting with the front on Thursday. It is preliminary, and will be updated several times.

The main threats will be:

• 40-60 MPH Strong Winds
• Small Hail
• Flash Flooding
• Heavy Rain

Meanwhile, here is also the forecast for tomorrow for the state.

It looks like there will be summertime afternoon thunderstorms through Wednesday across the state, as well as for next weekend too. Stay tuned to our next update for Georgia tomorrow!

Georgia Forecast for 7/8/13

Here is my forecast for tomorrow.
























There will be some flash flooding possible, especially in the box above, but the threats will not be as great as today. However, we could get additional rainfall from 0.5-1 inches across the region tomorrow.

A special extended forecast discussion is coming up tomorrow, concerning a potential severe weather threat late next week.

Georgia Forecast for Sunday 7/7/13

Main Threats With Storms

• Winds Up To 50 MPH
• Isolated Brief Tornado
• Heavy Rain Squalls
• Quick Flash Flooding

Flash flooding threats will be high tomorrow due to the already saturated grounds, and the potential the showers and storms have to produce heavy rainfall in a short amount of time.
