.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/...

Upper closed low centered over the Southern Appalachians will
continue to drift southeast toward the Atlantic Coast during the
short term. This will combine with a continuous easterly flow at
low levels...resulting in scattered showers and thunderstorms each
afternoon and evening. Cold temperatures aloft this afternoon
could produce some isolated strong to severe thunderstorms with
hail and damaging winds. With easterly upslope flow...some stratus
is possible across much of the area toward morning. Increased
cloudiness could moderate high temperatures on Tuesday...but
potential remains to reach warmer highs with breaks in clouds

41

.LONG TERM /Wednesday through Monday/...

An upper level cutoff low will finally begin to lift north on
Wednesday taking with it some of the cooler than average
temperatures with it. On the backside of the low as it lifts north,
there will be a chance for afternoon thunderstorms Wednesday and
Thursday primarily across NE Georgia.

Temperatures will lift out of the low to mid 80s on Thursday and
head into the 90s by the weekend. As ridging takes control of the
area, dry air will be filtered in limiting the dewpoints going into
the weekend to the mid to low 60s across the area. Drier air with a
WNW flow should limit afternoon convection as well.

Early next week an upper level low, centered over the southern great
lakes, will bring a cold front sweeping through. As the high to our
east begins to break down, boundary level moisture will increase.
This moisture return combined with daytime heating could present an
environment favorable for some stormy weather. Given the current
uncertainty in the timing presented by the models it's still too far
out to say where these storms will form and with what intensity.
