295K SURFACE GENERALLY RUNNING 40 TO 45 KTS ALONG THAT PLANE WITH
A NEARLY 100MB DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CORDELIE AND BLAIRSVILLE. THAT
COMBINED WITH SUB 10MB CO ND PRES DEFICITS AND INCREASING PW SPELL
MODERATE TO HEAVY AND STEADY RAINFALL FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME.
ADDED ISOLATED THUNDER UP TO THE I20 CORRIDOR AS THAT AMOUNT OF
LIFT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT PER RESEARCH TO PRODUCE A FEW CLAPS
DESPITE THE LACK OF SURFACE INSTABILITY. GFS...SREF...AND ECMWF
ALL IN AGREEMENT ON THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES ALONG OR
JUST NORTH OF THE I85 CORRIDOR. THE NAM CONTINUES TO SHOW A MORE
SOUTHERN SWATH FROM CSG TO MCN TO AHN. REGARDLESS OF WHERE THE
HEAVIES AXIS IS...EVERYTHING STILL IN LINE WITH THE FLOOD WATCH
OVERNIGHT. RAIN SHOULD END BY MID MORNING AS SURFACE LOW EXITS THE
NORTHEAST PART OF THE STATE WITH GENERAL CLEARING AND GUSTY WEST
WINDS BY LATE MORNING TO AFTERNOON SUNDAY.

STELLMAN

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

STILL LOOKING AT SOME NORTHWEST FLOW PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL
WITH RE-ENFORCING TROUGH COMING IN EARLY MONDAY. THICKNESSES AND
SURFACE WEB BULB NOT AS COLD THIS RUN BUT WOULD LIKE TO SEE
ANOTHER RUN BEFORE REMOVING LIGHT SNOW MIXTURE FOR THE NORTHERN
TIER. MODELS TRENDING TOWARD EACH OTHER FOR MONDAY NIGHT AS ECMWF
NOW DRIER AND SHOWS TWO DISTINCT INFLUENCES...ONE FROM THE NORTH
WHICH IS LIMITED ON MOISTURE AND THE SECOND HAVING A GULF
INFLUENCE WITH MORE PRECIP POTENTIAL FOR THE SOUTH. INTRODUCED
CHANCE POPS FOR CENTRAL GEORGIA BUT THESE WILL NEED TO BE RAMPED
UP IF TRENDS CONTINUE. THURSDAY SYSTEM STILL HAS MUCH DISAGREEMENT
AMONG MODELS WITH GFS SHOWING MAINLY A NORTHWEST FLOW EVENT WITH
STRONG TROUGH WHILE ECMWF SHOWS ADDITIONAL GULF INFLUENCE BUT
STILL DRIER THAN ITS PREVIOUS RUN. CONTINUED WITH JUST RAIN AND
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR NOW BUT CERTAINLY WILL NEED TO MONITOR POTENTIAL
FOR HIGHER POPS AND WINTRY PRECIP FOR THE NORTH.

DEESE

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. AN UPPER
DISTURBANCE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
LIGHT RAIN OR FLURRIES TO PARTS OF NORTH GEORGIA MONDAY MORNING...
BUT NO ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH SUCH LIMITED MOISTURE AND
WARM GROUNDS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION ON MONDAY
AND DOMINATE THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY NIGHT. THEN LONG RANGE
MODELS DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY BY MID WEEK AS THE ECMWF SHOWS ANOTHER
STRONG DISTURBANCE GENERATING A SURFACE LOW OVER THE NORTH GULF
THAT TRACKS ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. AS
A RESULT... THE ECMWF SPREADS OVERRUNNING LIGHT RAIN OVER THE
FORECAST AREA ON THURSDAY. THE GFS NOW SHOWS A DRY AIR MASS IN
PLACE WITH ALL THE RAINS DOWN SOUTH OVER FLORIDA DURING THIS
TIME. WITH STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTY FOR LATE IN THE WORK WEEK AS THE
MODELS FLIP FLOP... WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN
ON THURSDAY FOR NOW. OTHERWISE... EXPECT NEAR OR SLIGHTLY COOLER
THAN NORMAL TEMPS AND NO CHANCE FOR THUNDER THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. 39
