THE REMNANTS OF IDA WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS FLORIDA THROUGH TOMORROW AIDED BY THE DEEPENING TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY AT THIS TIME...GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NAM SOLUTION FAIRLY CLOSE...JUST SLOWER TO MOVE THE SYSTEM OFF THE EAST COAST ON THURSDAY WHILE THE CANADIAN IS AN OUTLIER TAKING THE EXTRATROPICAL LOW FURTHER SOUTH INITIALLY. HAVE LEANED HEAVILY TOWARD TO GFS/ECMWF SOLUTIONS THIS RUN. ALTHOUGH MOISTURE BEGINS TO TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST TOMORROW PROXIMITY OF THE UPPER LOW TO EAST GEORGIA WILL KEEP LOW CHANCE OF RAIN ACROSS THAT AREA AT LEAST THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN BUILDING INTO THE AREA ON THURSDAY. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS OVER NORTH GEORGIA WHERE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES ARE ANTICIPATED. RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING WILL BE IN THE 3 TO 5 INCH RANGE ACROSS MUCH OF THE WATCH AREA WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS. HAVE CONTINUED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING...BUT WOULD NOT BE SHOCKED TO SEE COUNTIES REMOVED LATER THIS EVENING...PARTICULARLY IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA. AS IDA TRACKS ACROSS GEORGIA AND INTERACTS WITH A STRONG SURFACE HIGH BUILDING OVER THE GREAT LAKES AREA...THE SURFACE GRADIENT HAS TIGHTENED THIS AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MILES AN HOUR WITH GUSTS GREATER THAN 30 HAVE BEEN REPORTED ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MINOR DISCREPANCIES IN THE EXTENDED SOLUTIONS...THEY ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE INTO THE ATLANTIC...SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER THE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY.

THIS LEADS TO RATHER LARGE TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM...GFS TRACKS THE WEAKER NORTHERN SHORT WAVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY NIGHT WHICH PUSHES THE SURFACE FRONT ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY WHILE THE ECMWF IS SLOWER WITH THE BROAD TROUGH...HOLDING OFF ON THE SURFACE FRONT UNTIL MONDAY EVENING. IN ANY CASE...CONFIDENCE IN DAY 6 AND 7 FORECAST ARE QUITE LOW.
