NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM IS PUSHING PRECIP ACROSS AL THIS MORNING. HIGH
PRESSURE HAS MOVED OFF THE SC/GA/FL COAST AND IS ALLOWING THIS
FRONTAL SYSTEM TO MOVE IN. THE SYSTEM EXTENDS FROM THE GREAT LAKE
STATES DOWN TO THE LA GULF COAST. THE MAIN LOW CENTER IS OVER
ONTARIO CANADA JUST NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR AND WILL CONTINUE MOVING
EAST THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT HAS GAINED A
GULF OF MEXICO CONNECTION AS A DEVELOPING SHORTWAVE MOVED NE
ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. THIS SHORTWAVE AND DEVELOPING FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL PUSH RAIN INTO W GA BY 16-18Z TODAY AND CONTINUE TO
MOVE EAST ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THIS FRONTAL
SYSTEM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MUCH OF A RAIN MAKER AS ALL THE
MODELS AND THE HPC QPF SHOW NORTH AND CENTRAL GA ONLY GETTING 3
QUARTERS OF AN INCH OR LESS OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS.
INSTABILITY IS ALSO VERY WEAK WITH THIS SYSTEM SO CONTINUED WITH
JUST A MENTION OR RAIN IN THE FORECAST...NO THUNDER EXPECTED. THIS
SYSTEM SHOULD EXIT THE AREA BY 12Z TUE AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN
ACROSS THE STATE. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
SEASONAL NORMS.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TROUGH DEEPENING OVER THE SOUTHEAST TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BRING
MOISTURE MAINLY ACROSS NORTH GA. MOISTURE APPEARS SHALLOW AND ANY
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE LIGHT. THICKNESS VALUES SUPPORT A WINTER
MIX AND HAVE CONTINUED THAT TREND. SOME LIGHT SNOW POSSIBLE
NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE EASTERN STATES REMAIN IN A
GENERAL PATTERN TROUGH THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD AND A SERIES
OF SHORT WAVES DIVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH SUNDAY. MOISTURE LOOKS
LIMITED WITH EACH WAVE EXCEPT FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.
MODELS PICK UP ON MOISTURE STREAMING FROM THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE
CWA...THE ECMWF STRONGER THAN THE GFS. FOR NOW...HAVE INCREASED
THE CLOUDS DURING THAT TIME BUT HAVE LEFT THE FORECAST DRY.
