.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/...

To begin the short term period, a broad but fairly shallow upper
trough is extending from Iowa southward into the Mississippi River
Valley and is moving eastward across the southeastern CONUS. A
surface low associated with this trough is moving northeastward from
central Louisiana and will continue to approach our forecast area
during the remainder of the day and into Sunday. Convection ahead of
a weak cold front dropping from this low is anticipated in our area
this evening and into the overnight hours. With sufficient
instability due to diurnal heating this afternoon combined with some
stronger mid-level winds and enhanced wind shear ahead of the
frontal boundary, there is the potential that some thunderstorms
associated with this system could be strong to severe, with the
damaging wind gusts and marginally severe hail being the primary
threats with any severe storms that occur.

On Sunday, the focus will shift to south and central Georgia.
Although high-end chance to likely PoPs are anticipated across the
southern portion of the forecast area, the best forcing and
instability will be south of the area which will limit the potential
for severe weather. Precipitation will quickly come to an end on
Sunday night as the cold front clears the area. Model guidance is in
good agreement that drier and cooler air will return to the area
Sunday night into early Monday morning.

King

.LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/...

The long term begins with an exiting system and drier air
spreading over the CWA. Models are in very good agreement with
this. We will see one good day of drying before moisture starts
returning ahead of the next in a series of short waves approaches
on Tuesday. Models differ somewhat on timing and strength of these
short waves for the latter half of the long term, however the
result will be increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms each
day.

AVIATION...
00Z Update...
Showers and a few thunderstorms will spread over the taf sites

where convection is present. Ceilings are expected to lower to MVFR
by 04-06Z and IFR by 10-12Z Sunday morning. Gradual improvement
during the day. Southwest Winds of 5-10 kts expected through the
