SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM...ALTHOUGH THE
GFS REMAINS THE FASTER OF THE MODELS. HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE
PREVIOUS TIMING WITH THE MAIN AREA OF RAIN MOVING INTO THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EXITING TUESDAY. GOOD ISENTROPIC LIFT IS CREATING AN
INCREASE IN SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS MORNING. THE PRECIP WILL INCREASE
IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS ACROSS NORTH GA. THE RISK OF
THUNDER INCREASES LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON AS THE MAIN
SYSTEM AND INSTABILITY MOVES INTO REGION. MODELS CONTINUE TO PROG 50
TO 60KTS OF SHEAR ACROSS NORTH GA THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...AND
THIS COULD PRODUCE A SEVERE STORM OR TWO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE LONG TERM STARTS OUT WARM AND WET AS ANOTHER SURGE OF DEEP
MOISTURE IN THE SUBTROPIC JET MOVES OVER THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT
AND CONTINUES FOR WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL...MOST SO TO N GA...AND A PORTION OF W CENTRAL
GA. A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THE AXIS OF DEEPEST MOISTURE SHIFTS E AND S WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT WITH A SLOW DECREASE OF PRECIP POTENTIAL ACROSS THE
AREA BUT THE HEAVY RAIN CHANCES WILL DIMINISH QUICKLY LATE WEDNESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY EVENING. SMALL CHANCES FOR LIGHT SHOWERS COULD REMAIN
ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GA ON FRIDAY AS THE GFS AND EUROPEAN MODELS
ARE DIFFERING WITH THE HANDLING OF THE MOIST UPPER JET FINALLY EXITING.
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY LOOKS DRY AS A PORTION OF THE POLAR JET
MOVES THE DEEP MOISTURE OF THE SUBTROPIC JET WELL E AND S.
A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE OF AIRMASS IS ALSO EXPECTED STARTING THURSDAY
MORNING AS A COLD FRONT FINALLY MOVES ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY.
TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL WILL RETURN TO AROUND NORMAL STARTING
FRIDAY.

HYDROLOGY...
WPC QPF IS A LITTLE MORE THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES
OF RAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA THROUGH TUESDAY. THERE COULD
BE SOME AREAS IN THE MOUNTAINS APPROACHING 3 INCHES. AS THIS FIRST
WAVE OF PRECIP MOVES OUT...THERE WILL BE ABOUT A 6 TO 12 HOUR BREAK
IN THE RAIN BEFORE THE NEXT WAVE MOVES INTO NORTH GEORGIA LATE
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS SECOND WAVE COULD
PRODUCE ANOTHER 1 TO 2 1/2 INCHES OF RAIN TOTALLY 3 TO 5 INCHES IN
AREAS. BECAUSE OF THIS WE HAVE EXPANDED THE WATCH SOUTHWARD TO
INCLUDE ANOTHER ROW OR TWO OF COUNTIES AND HAVE ALSO EXTENDED THE
WATCH THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
