What happened

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.

Drought conditions persisted and actually continued to worsen during December. This was especially true during the first half of the month when unseasonably warm, dry weather prevailed across the region thanks to a large upper-level ridge of high pressure. Rainfall deficits continued to grow during this time and lake levels fell to record or near record low levels. Lake Lanier in northeast Georgia and the main water supply for the Atlanta metropolitan area, dropped to its lowest level in history on December 28, 2007 with a reading of 1050.75 feet. New records were set nearly every day after November 20th, when the previous record low-level of 1052.63 feet was reached. Lake Allatoona in northwest Georgia and West Point Lake in west central Georgia were also near record low levels, but never reached previously established record low levels. While rivers and streams remained near record low levels as well, lower evaporation rates and slightly better overall rainfall allowed minor rises at many locations. Significant water conservation measures were being implemented in many cities across north and central Georgia.

During the later part of the month, several fast moving weather systems finally brought much needed rainfall to north and especially central Georgia. In fact, many areas actually recorded above normal rainfall for the month for the first time in many months.

Note, the impact of the drought on crops and the estimated monetary damage was included with the September 2007 Storm Data. Additional crop losses after September would be minimal in comparison as October marks the end of the growing season.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
515 PM EST FRI NOV 30 2007

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID U.S. MOVES TO THE EASTERN
SEABOARD SATURDAY. THIS COMBINED WITH A BUILDING UPPER RIDGE WILL
KEEP THE AREA DRY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. EXPECT VARYING AMOUNTS OF
HIGH CLOUDS WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASING AHEAD OF THE NEXT
FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT.

COLD FRONT APPROACHES TN VALLEY LATE SUNDAY AND MOVES ACROSS CWA
SUNDAY NIGHT. BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN ACROSS N GA SUNDAY AND IN
GENERAL OVER THE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT. RAINFALL AMOUNTS MOST LIKELY LESS
THAN 1/2 INCH.

LOW TEMPERATURES GENERALLY RUNNING CLOSE TO NORMAL SATURDAY MORNING
AND SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL SUNDAY MORNING. HIGH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL SATURDAY AND NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL FOR SUNDAY.

OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
RAIN CHANCES MOST LIKELY WILL HAVE ENDED TO START MONDAY. AIRMASS
WILL BE DRYING AND GETTING COLDER WITH HIGHS ONLY ABOUT 5 TO 10
DEGREES WARMER THAN THE MORNING LOWS. WINDY CONDITIONS CAN ALSO BE
EXPECTED WITH WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH FOR MUCH OF THE AREA WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. OVERALL CONFIDENCE FOR MONDAY IS MODERATE TO HIGH.

DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE MOST PART. WILL NEED TO WATCH A
FAST MOVING COLD FRONT IN THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL NW FLOW WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. LOOKS TOO DRY FOR PRECIP. FRIDAY WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED AS
THE POTENTIAL FOR MOISTURE RETURN STARTS LATE IN THE DAY.

TEMPERATURES STARTING THIS PERIOD BELOW NORMAL AND TRENDING TO
AROUND NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEK.

OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS LOW TO MODERATE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THERE IS CONCERN FOR A POSSIBLE RED FLAG EVENT OVER PARTS OF NORTH
AND NORTHEAST GA SATURDAY AFTERNOON. NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO ISSUE
A RED FLAG WARNING AT THIS TIME BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE
SITUATION. WINDS SATURDAY AFTERNOON 10 MPH OR LESS. NO FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS FOR SUNDAY AS AIRMASS MOISTENS UP IN ADVANCE OF
NEXT FRONT AND SOME INCREASING WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS. WINDY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR MONDAY WITH SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 20 MPH
AND GUSTS GREATER THAN 25 MPH EXPECTED. LOW RHS IN THE 25 TO 35
PERCENT RANGE. FUELS WILL LIKELY BE WET FROM OVERNIGHT RAINS SUNDAY
NIGHT...SO NO WATCH AT THIS TIME.

.AVIATION...
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AMPLIFYING ACROSS EASTERN GULF AND INTO SE STATES
IN ADVANCE OF DEEPENING UPPER/CLOSED LOW SW U.S.  LARGE SFC HIGH
PRESSURE AREA...NOW LOCATED OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST...WILL MOVE EAST
TO THE OHIO VALLEY BY MID-DAY SATURDAY. GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH TAF VALID PERIOD.

CEILINGS...VFR. HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE FROM UPSTREAM SYSTEM WILL SPREAD
ACROSS THE AREA...ESPECIALLY THE NORTH OVERNIGHT AND EARLY
SAT...RESULTING IN BKN250 NORTH TO SCT250 CENTRAL. AS RIDGE
AMPLIFIES...THIS MOISTURE WILL BE SHUNTED FURTHER NORTH
SAT...RESULTING IN SCT250 NORTH TO SKC CENTRAL. NO CIGS EXPECTED
BELOW 150 THIS TAF VALID PERIOD WITH LITTLE SFC/BL MOISTURE.

VISIBILITY...MOSTLY VFR. CANNOT TOTALLY RULE OUT BRIEF MVFR BR FOR
MCN...AHN...FTY. HOWEVER...DEWPOINTS ABOUT 5 DEGREES LOWER TODAY
THAN AT THIS TIME YESTERDAY...SO CURRENT THINKING IS THAT ONLY MCN
WOULD SEE POTENTIAL FOR BR.

WX...NONE

WINDS...SFC HIGH CENTER STILL LOCATED OVER THE MIDWEST...WITH A
SECONDARY WEAK SFC HIGH LOCATED OVER THE CAROLINAS. DIRECTION HAS
FLIRTED WITH NNE AT ALL STATIONS TODAY...BUT GENERALLY A NW-NNW FLOW

DISSIPATING...WITH MAIN HIGH TRACKING ACROSS THE MIDWEST INTO THE
OHIO VALLEY OVERNIGHT. THUS...AM NOT INCLINED TO BRING WINDS OVER TO
