.UPDATE...

Decided to add a few counties along the southeastern edge of the
current Flash Flood Watch. 48-hour rainfall totals of 2-5 inches
stretch as far southeast as Columbus, Macon and Warrenton, with the
potential for additional rounds of heavy rainfall over the next 24
hours.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 245 PM EDT Sat Jun 8 2019/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/...

The main concern continues to be the potential for rounds of
heavy rain. Showers and storms are developing over se AL and
riding the flow up the I-85 corridor into the the ATL metro
area and n GA, where it is less unstable at this time.
This pattern and the potential for future rounds of heavy rain
prompted the need for a Flash Flood Watch for much of north and
portions of west central GA.

This is due to a moist upper level low pressure system over the OH/TN
valleys pumping deep moisture over the area with disturbances riding
in the flow. The upper system is forecast to weaken some and drift
over the forecast area through the period. In time, this should diminish
the heavy rainfall potential although a moist airmass will continue
over the area.

Forecast low temperatures are running about 4-10 degrees above normal
across much of the area tonight and similar for Sunday night.
Forecast high temperatures are running about 2-7 degrees below normal
on Sunday.

Overall confidence is medium.

LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/...

No big changes made to the long term. Overall pattern still the same
with the upper low deepening over the southeast states and becoming
a broad trough before moving off the Atlantic Coast. Likely or
higher pops still look reasonable across much of the area. Surface
boundary seems to stall across GA for the first of the week as a
wave develops on the boundary across south GA. Pops taper off
through the end of the week and Friday and Saturday look dry.
Rainfall totals for the period through Wednesday still range from
two to four inches with some areas near five mainly northeast...and
this is in addition to what has already fallen today.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 356 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2019/

LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Friday/...

Rain, Rain, Go Away! That will be the feeling by the time we start
the long term period, but there's no relief in site until Thursday.

By Monday morning, the low-pressure system that will be anchored
over the Southeastern U.S. will be partially swept up by a shortwave
trough moving through the Eastern CONUS. A cold front will also be
moving into the area Monday morning as well but is expected to stall
through the forecast area. While most of the energy will be swept
up, some remnant of the low-pressure will remain and continue to
pump moisture from the Gulf into the forecast area.

A second shortwave trough will dig into the area by Wednesday night,
which will sweep up the rest of the low-pressure system, push a cold
front completely through the forecast area and replace the current
airmass with a dry area of high pressure. There will still be a 15%
to 30% chance for rain on Thursday as the rain move out of the area
but afterwords clear skies are expected for the first time all week.
Highs in the upper 70s and 80s expected through the week.
