Dry Weekend

A good fall pattern has set in with high pressure dominating Georgia, so the weekend should be as dry as it can get. The next rain chance seems to be with a front on Monday.

More Rain

After rain totals varying from 1 to 3 inches last Saturday, another rainfall event is on the way. Confidence is 90% that tonight and tomorrow will bring 0.5-2 inches of rain across the state. A map will be out tonight.

Wet Weekend

The day before yesterday I mentioned I will be working on some forecasts for a possible wet weekend here in Georgia. I decided that it was too early to do it at that time, but by early today, I can tell a lot more clearly that this Saturday, if not even Sunday too, will be filled with rain and even severe weather. A cold front will be approaching from the west, and a moist air mass will settle in the Southeast, all bringing up precipitation. All of you who are planning outdoor plans on Saturday, you may keep them, but be prepared that earlier or later in the day there will be rain and/or storms with the front passage. You may get lucky to get onto an afternoon super cell as well.
Sunday, it will be the southern portions of the state that will be seeing storms, but they still may be in good shape. You may still want to look out for changes in outdoor plans, if you are in South GA for Sunday.
Here is my forecast for this weekend.

As you see by the map above, southern Georgia will experience rain, locally heavy, and it is hard to tell right now, but there maybe a Tropical System Jerry mixed into it, if when it forms it heads our way. Regardless, deep tropical moisture will pound South GA by rain. Meanwhile, central regions of Georgia will be experiencing scattered thunderstorms with the front as well as afternoon cells. Most of these will be very marginally severe for now. The mountains of northern Georgia and the greater Atlanta metropolitan area will be experiencing the worst fo the activity. The front will bring a line of severe thunderstorms with small hail, lightning, rain, and some wind. The details are not clear yet. Fortunately, ti will be only on Saturday. In fact, North Georgia should be experiencing awesome weather on Sunday after the temperature will drop 12-16 degrees with the front.
More updates regarding this stormy weekend threat will come throughout this week!!

Quiet Weather

Please excuse the lack of posts for the past 10 days. The weather across Georgia has been quiet, and I am sure you enjoyed this dry weekend! The North Georgia Mountains and towns like Blairsville and Hiawassee had lows in the lower 50s!!
Isolated thunderstorms can be expected for the next few days across Georgia, but a system is expected to arrive later in the week to Georgia, and signs suggest that the weekend may be wet. I will work on a bigger post later today.

Quick Update

There has been nothing of interest across Georgia lately, and that will continue to be the case today. Tomorrow, there could be a little more activity across the state, so I will try to make a map later today.
Stay tuned!
