THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT
DENSE FOG...HEAVY RAIN...AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED FOR
THE REST OF TONIGHT.

.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS SOUTH GEORGIA WILL MOVE SLIGHTLY
NORTHWARD THROUGH TONIGHT. ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL FLOW OUT OF THE
GULF AND OVER THE COOL DOME OF AIR CURRENTLY IN PLACE OVER NORTH
AND CENTRAL GEORGIA. THIS WILL PRODUCE WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG ACROSS
MUCH OF THE REGION. THE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT WILL ALSO
PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA. FOR MORE
INFORMATION ON THE DENSE FOG...SEE THE LATEST DENSE FOG ADVISORY.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE HEAVY RAIN...SEE THE LATEST FLOOD
WATCH STATEMENT.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARD FROM THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING...AND MAINLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM COLUMBUS...TO
MACON...TO LOUISVILLE.

.DISCUSSION...
AIR WILL CONTINUE TO BE FORCED TO RISE ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE
STATIONARY FRONT THAT IS ACROSS SOUTH GEORGIA. THERE WILL BE
ENOUGH LIFT TO PRODUCE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
GEORGIA. INSTABILITY IS LIMITED AND THEREFORE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
ARE NOT EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA ON
TUESDAY. HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED
TO SUBMIT REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEB BY GOING TO
