THE FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY...SO EXPECT A GRADUAL CLEARING OF THE WEATHER SATURDAY AFTERNOON...HOWEVER THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT SHOULD GREATLY DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST BETWEEN 5 AM THRU 10 AM SATURDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE AND A DRIER MORE STABLE AIRMASS WILL QUICKLY SETTLE IN BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON-EVENING...WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ON TAP FOR SUNDAY. .LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY) HAD LITTLE TIME TO LOOK AT THE EXTENDED...BUT INITIAL GLANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE DRY CONDITIONS THRU MONDAY WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AND NW UPPER LEVEL FLOW.

AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. EARLY SATURDAY. .PRIMARY HAZARDS... THE PRIMARY HAZARD FROM THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING WILL BE LARGE HAIL...POSSIBLY AS LARGE AS GOLF BALLS IN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES...THE THREAT WILL SHIFT MORE TOWARD DAMAGING WIND. FREQUENT DANGEROUS CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO POSE A HAZARD WITH MANY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. THROUGH MIDNIGHT...THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE WEST OF A LINE FROM BLUE RIDGE...TO ATLANTA...TO LA GRANGE. AFTER MIDNIGHT...THE THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL SHIFT FURTHER EAST...MAINLY EAST OF A BLUE RIDGE...TO ATLANTA...TO LA GRANGE LINE. .DISCUSSION... A LARGE COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALABAMA CONTINUED TO SPREAD EASTWARD FRIDAY EVENING...THE LEADING EDGE OF WHICH WAS REACHING NORTHWEST GEORGIA AROUND SUNSET. CONDITIONS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE AS FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER AS EARLIER EXPECTED. THE AIR MASS ACROSS GEORGIA HAS REMAINED SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN EARLIER EXPECTED...AND AS A RESULT MORE STABLE. LIFTED INDICES IN THE -3 RANGE AROUND SUNSET...WILL RISE TO NEAR ZERO AFTER MIDNIGHT. CAPES WILL DROP BELOW 500 OVER MOST OF THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER...A LOW-LEVEL JET OF 30-50 KNOT WINDS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA AROUND MIDNIGHT. THIS COULD ENHANCE THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IN THE 10 PM TO 2 AM PERIOD ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA. WHILE EARLY IN THE PERIOD THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE HAIL...AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET DEVELOPS...IT APPEARS THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER ACROSS EASTERN SECTIONS OF GEORGIA SATURDAY MORNING...BUT THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END ACROSS ALL OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA BY NOON. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME DO NOT APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR THIS ACTIVITY TO BECOME SEVERE. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS STILL POSSIBLE...MAINLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT IN NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA. LIMITED SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA AFTER MIDNIGHT. EMERGENCY MANAGERS WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. 19
