this afternoon and evening, a cold front that is currently draped
over northern Alabama will slowly push into the area. The bulk of
the rainfall has now exited the forecast area, but additional
showers produced by lift from the frontal boundary approaching
coinciding with upper level divergence will be possible through the
afternoon and early evening hours. Showers will mainly be confined
to far north Georgia, but our far southeastern counties could also
stand the chance to see a few more showers (and even an isolated
thunderstorm where instability remains in place in this portion of
the CWA) through the afternoon. The flash flooding and severe
weather threats have diminished for the day, however, several
creeks, streams, and rivers are expected to crest at minor to
moderate flood stages and will remain a concern over the next
several days.

The main story for the short term forecast will be the elevated
sustained winds and breezy gusts as the frontal boundary passes
through. Sustained northwest winds at 10 to 15 mph this afternoon
will gradually increase to 15 to 18 mph through Sunday. Wind gusts
from 20 to 25+ mph will be possible areawide with a few locations
along the ridgetops in the north Georgia mountains approaching gusts
between 30 and 35 mph. Have opted to hold off on a Wind Advisory
with this forecast package as these wind gusts will likely be
isolated in nature and confined to areas of high terrain. However,
should guidance suggest more widespread strong gusts, a Wind
Advisory for Sunday may need to be considered in future forecast
cycles. Given the elevated wind speeds and broken to overcast cloud
coverage overnight, frost is not expected to develop overnight
despite low temperatures bottoming out in the low to mid 30s. This
afternoon, temperatures topping out in the mid 70s will be confined
to areas south of the warm front (currently draped south of I-20)
while areas to the north north will be in the 60s. Tomorrow with the
cooler and drier airmass in place, high temperatures will range from
the 50s to mid 60s. Skies should gradually clear through the day on
Sunday.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday morning through next Friday)
Issued at 157 PM EST Sat Mar 9 2024

At a glance:

- Dry air will return to the area and stick around well into next
  week. Temperatures will gradually increase as we approach the
  weekend with relative humidities rising with them.

-Another system takes aim at the SE by next Friday. Still too far
out to identify impacts

Temperatures are expected to fall toward freezing on Sunday night
and into Monday morning. Areas of patchy frost are possible on
Monday morning. An advisory may be needed as the threat for frost
moves into the short term forecast. Temps gradually start to warm
on Tuesday and Wednesday but conditions will remain dry and
depending on how quickly fuels can dry out we may have some fire
weather concerns.

By Thursday a surge of warm air will push into the area driving
temps and dewpoints up out ahead of the next storm system. It's to
early to tell the magnitude of the next system or the local impacts
it may bring, but it is spring in the south and as a result
thunderstorms are defiantly possible. A few of the models are
indicating the front will stall as it approaches our area which has
resulted in chances of precip becoming more uniform in the slight
category.
