THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE.

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE STATE THIS
AFTERNOON... AND INTERACT WITH A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS TO
PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH
OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR THE
STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARDS FROM ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS OF 60 MPH OR GREATER AND QUARTER SIZED HAIL. FREQUENT
CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED WITH THE STRONGER
STORMS.

.DISCUSSION...
A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL TRACK ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS CENTRAL
GEORGIA WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS THE IMPULSES MOVE
ACROSS THE STATE DURING DAYTIME HEATING. THEREFORE...EXPECT
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...WITH THE STRONGER STORMS GENERALLY
ALONG AND WEST OF A LINE FROM CARROLLTON...TO MACON... TO ABBEVILLE.
ALTHOUGH MOST STORMS WILL REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS...CAPE VALUES
BETWEEN 2000 AND 2500 J/KG AND LIFTED INDEX VALUES APPROACHING -8
SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.
