.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED JUST EAST
OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE ASSOCIATED BAND OF RAIN SHOULD ALSO EXIT
EAST BY 4 AM. HOWEVER...EXPECT PATCHY DRIZZLE/LIGHT SPRINKLES TO
CONTINUE FOR MOST AREAS THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING AS LOW CLOUDS
MAY BE SLOW TO CLEAR. SATELLITE SHOWS CLEARING SKIES PUSHING INTO

PLUMMET INTO THE 20S FOR MOST AREAS. AREA RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED
TO PROTECT PETS AND EXPOSED WATER PIPES AS SOME AREA COULD SEE
TEMPS IN THE MID 20S FOR SEVERAL HOURS. AN UPPER DISTURBANCE COULD
BRING SOME BRIEF CLOUDINESS TO NORTH GA ON THURSDAY...BUT NO PRECIP
IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. BEHIND THIS DISTURBANCE... EXPECT A
REINFORCING SURGE OF DRY/COLD AIR TO SPREAD IN FROM THE NW AGAIN
ON FRIDAY.
