SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
BROAD UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AREA WITH CLOSED
UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS TO THE MID ATLANTIC
OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE TROUGH TONIGHT
SHOULD KEEP CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF WINTER PRECIPITATION OVER
PORTIONS OF NORTH GA TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY. MOISTURE DIMINISHES
ON TUESDAY SO WILL DECREASE POPS DURING THE DAY. WITH COLD AIR IN
PLACE...MORE SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED OVER AREAS NORTH OF ATLANTA TO
ATHENS TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. HIGHER ELEVATIONS COULD SEE UP
TO ONE HALF INCH TOTAL ACCUMULATION MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO
TUESDAY MORNING. FOR NOW...WILL ISSUE AN SPS FOR THIS EVENT. WINDS
SHOULD BE DIMINISHING THIS EVENING AND WILL PROBABLY LET THE WIND
ADVISORY EXPIRE. CONTINUED NORTHWEST FLOW AND COLD ADVECTION SHOULD
KEEP TEMPERATURES ON THE COLD SIDE OF NORMAL THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
A FREEZE WATCH MAY BE IN ORDER FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER WILL LET

CENTRAL GEORGIA TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. AFTERNOON RH
VALUES LOOK TO DROP TO AROUND 25 PERCENT FOR ONLY A COUPLE
HOURS...HOWEVER FUTURE UPDATES TO THE FORECAST MAY RESULT IN SOME
ADJUSTMENTS. FOR WEDNESDAY... WHILE WINDS SHOULD BE LIGHTER THAN
