upper level ridge will shift eastward throughout the day.  The next
system develops as a trough moving into the Plains this afternoon
and evening aids in the deepening of a surface low as it moves
across the Midwest into the Great Lakes region by tomorrow
afternoon.  The associated cold front will move across the Gulf
coast states tomorrow with showers developing out ahead of the
front.  Expect showers to push into northwest portions of Georgia
around daybreak tomorrow morning.  POPs will be highest across north
Georgia Saturday.  Have stayed close to guidance temperatures
throughout the period with near normal highs and just above normal
overnight lows.

LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/...

The long term period begins with a cold front moving through the
area. NBM seems to be holding onto the precip a little long for
North GA given the position of the front and will therefore shift
main precip axis further south and include some continued likely
pops. Some elevated instability does creep into the SW corner of
the forecast area and will include some isolated thunder with this
issuance as the front hangs slightly over Central GA as a
secondary shortwave moves in.

Winter will finally make a re-appearance across the area behind
the front with highs in the mid 40s across the North on Sunday and
temps struggling to get out of the 30s across the far north on
Monday. Looks to be a very cold night Monday night with low to mid
20s for most areas and with continued slightly elevated winds,
wind chill values will be well into the teens.

Clipper type system moves to the north of the area for Mon night
into Tue which acts to re-enforce the cold shot. As a result,
temps on Tue afternoon will once again be in the low to mid 40s
for most areas.

Next storm system slated late next week and developing southerly
flow ahead of the system looks to all for some thunder inclusion
for the Friday night timeframe.
