CURRENT RADAR LOOP SHOWS THE SHOWERS FINALLY EXITING EAST GA THIS
AFTERNOON AS FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES NE UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD. LATEST
SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS SOME LOW TO MID LEVEL CLOUDS STILL STREAMING
ACROSS THE AREA...MOSTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE
FROM THE MAIN LOW PRESSURE CENTER NOW OVER IA/MN/WI. HIGH PRESSURE
IS BEGINNING TO BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE SW AND WILL CONTINUE TO
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS RIDGE SHOULD KEEP NORTH AND CENTRAL GA DRY
THROUGH SAT BUT THERE IS A WEAK WAVE THAT MOVE NE OUT OF THE GULF SUN
AND MOVES MAINLY ACROSS THE PANHANDLE OF FL AND S GA. THIS WAVE DOES
BRING DECENT MOISTURE UP ACROSS CENTRAL GA SUN SO HAVE PUT IN A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIP DURING THE DAY. THIS WAVE DOES NOT HAVE MUCH
INSTABILITY WITH IT SO NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING MORE THAN SOME
ISOLATED SHOWERS IF ANYTHING AT ALL. THE REST OF THE AREA SHOULD

SPREAD CLOUDS AND RAIN CHANCES OVER MUCH OF THE AREA ON THURSDAY. IT
