STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS POSITIONED ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON. LUCKILY...MOST OF TODAY HAS BEEN DRY. REGIONAL RADAR HAS PICKED UP A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS ACROSS THE FAR SE CWFA...BUT TOTAL QPF HAS BEEN VERY LIGHT. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. ACCOMPANYING THIS LOW WILL BE ANOTHER ROUND OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS A FEW HUNDRED JOULES OF CAPE PRESENT...MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 85 CORRIDOR. WILL KEEP THE THUNDER IN MAINLY AFTER 06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. EVEN THOUGH SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED...SUB SEVERE STORM WINDS WILL BE CAPABLE OF UPROOTING TREES DUE TO THE SATURATED SOILS. THE MAIN HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. IN GENERAL...ONE TO THREE INCHES OF RAINFALL IS ANTICIPATED ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 85 CORRIDOR. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE WHERE STORMS REPEATEDLY TRAIN. EVEN THOUGH AMOUNTS ARE NOT LARGE THROUGH FRIDAY...THE SOILS ARE SATURATED AND ANY ADDITIONAL RAINS WILL CREATE RUN-OFF. IN ADDITION...SEVERAL CREEKS/STREAMS/RIVERS REMAIN ABOVE FLOOD STAGE AND THE ADDITIONAL RAINS WILL PROLONG THE ONGOING ISSUES. HAVE EXTENDED THE FLOOD WATCH TO THE ENTIRE CWFA. HI-RES MODELS ARE PROGGING THE AXIS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TO DEVELOP ALONG THE INTERSTATE 85 CORRIDOR AFTER 06Z WEDNESDAY...AND THEN SHIFT SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY.

THE GFS/ECMWF ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE LONG TERM. THE UPPER FLOW REMAINS WEST SOUTHWEST WITH A SECONDARY DISTURBANCE MOVING ALONG THE GULF COAST FRIDAY. MODELS DIFFER IN THE NORTHWARD EXTENT OF THE MOISTURE ON FRIDAY WITH THE GFS THE FURTHEST NORTH. WILL CONTINUE WITH CONSISTENCY AND LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF SOLUTION WHICH BRINGS A CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO PARTS OF CENTRAL GA.
