.SHORT TERM /Today through Thursday/...

Current radar loop shows mainly showers across the area with an
isolated thunderstorms or two. These storms are expected to continue
to increase in areal coverage and intensity through the rest of the
afternoon. The main frontal boundary is beginning to move into NW GA
and should push east of the state tonight. There is another wave
that moves NE out of the Gulf tonight and moves in over North and
Central GA Wednesday. This next wave will bring another round of
showers and thunderstorms to the state through Thu. Instabilities
diminish some Wed and Thu so right now only looking at a general
thunder risk instead of a marginal like today. PWs stay in the 1.5
to 2.0in range through the short term so ant storms that move over
an area will drop a decent amount of precip. There continues to be
very little shear in this atmosphere so not looking for much in the
way of a tornado threat.

With precip chances continuing through the week, daytime high temps
are still expected to be mainly in the 80s to near 90.

01

.LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Monday/...

A cold front will move out of the area on Thursday decreasing the
coverage for showers and thunderstorms back to the typical summer
afternoon pattern. As the ridge slowly begins to build again, SW
flow will bring moisture values back up through the area increasing
the possibility of afternoon and evening convective thunderstorms.
Cooler air behind the front should help to marginalize temperatures,
keeping them in the low to mid 80s before increasing weekend.

As the front clears and high pressure is re-established in the
Atlantic, daytime highs and dewpoints increase indicating this
weekend should be hot and muggy. Highs this weekend will range
from the upper 80s up north to the mid 90s down in central Georgia
with heat indices approaching triple digits in parts of central
Georgia.

Another weak front is possible early next week but there is still
some disagreement in the models in regards to timing as well as the
depth of the trough.
