The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
On September 8, 2011, much of Georgia was classified by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a Primary Natural Disaster Area due to an ongoing drought and excessive heat that has damaged thousands of acres of crops. The drought was determined to have begun on April 15, 2011 and continued into September 2011. Much of the southern half of the state was classified to be in an Extreme Drought, while the northern areas fared slightly better and were only classified as being in a minor to moderate drought. Rainfall deficits by the end of of August ranged from 5 to 10 inches below normal throughout many central and north Georgia counties. Ninety-one counties within the Peachtree City, Georgia CWA were classified in a severe to extreme drought situation by the end of August 2011. Dozen of counties, mainly across central and south Georgia suffered 30 percent or more crop loss during this time frame. These crops include forage crops, pasture, grain crops, cotton, peanuts, and tobacco. The counties within the Peachtree City, Georgia county warning area (CWA) that are included in this classification are Gordon, Sumter, Taliaferro, Gwinnett, Meriwether, Taylor, Banks, Coweta, Hall, Telfair, Barrow, Crawford, Hancock, Monroe, Bartow, Crisp, Montgomery, Dade, Harris, Morgan, Dawson, Murray, Bibb, DeKalb, Heard, Oconee, Towns, Bleckley, Henry, Oglethorpe, Treutlen, Dodge, Houston, Paulding, Troup, Dooly, Peach, Jackson, Pickens, Twiggs, Douglas, Union, Jefferson, Pike, Upson, Butts, Polk, Walker, Johnson, Putnam, Emanuel, Warren, Carroll, Laurens, Washington, Catoosa, Fannin, Fayette, Webster, Floyd, Rockdale, Wheeler, Chattooga, Forsyth, Schley, White, Cherokee, Whitfield, Clarke, Fulton, Lumpkin, Wilcox, Gilmer, Macon, Spalding, Wilkes, Glascock, Madison, Wilkinson, Cobb, Marion, Stewart. In addition, the following counties in the Peachtree City, Georgia CWA also qualified for natural disaster assistance from the ongoing drought; Baldwin, Clayton, Jasper, Muscogee, Talbot, Chattahoochee, Greene, Jones, and Newton.
Damages are approximate and based on comparison to the 2007-2008 drought which was much more severe, long lasting, and hence resulted in significant crop damages across many counties.

SO FAR EXPECT LITTLE EFFECTS HERE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH AND AREA OF CONVERGENCE NEAR A COLUMBUS TO MACON LINE WHERE AREA RADARS ALSO SHOW ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION... MAINLY IN THE FORM OF SUBTLE SHOWERS...COURTEOUS OF STRONG RIDGING ALOFT. MODELS HOLD ONTO WEAK SURFACE TROUGH INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON...SO COULD SEE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS THIS EVENING AND POSSIBLY AGAIN ON THURSDAY IN THIS AREA. HOWEVER...MODEL GUIDANCE'S AGREE WITH NO POPS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY... WHICH LOOKS REASONABLE CONSIDERING STRENGTH OF MID AND UPPER RIDGE THAT SETTLES OVER THE STATE BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WILL PLAN TO SHOW THE HIGHER 10-15 PERCENT POPS ACROSS THE WEST CENTRAL PARTS OF THE STATE FOR NOW AND LET MIDNIGHT SHIFT FINE TUNE IF SURFACE TROUGH PERSIST AND CONFIDENCE SUGGEST A SLIGHT CHANCE POP IS WARRANTED. AN EASTERLY FLOW PRODUCED PATCHY LOW STRATUS LAST NIGHT...WHICH HELD OVERNIGHT LOWS SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN GUIDANCE EXPECTED. SEE NO REASON WHY THIS MIGHT NOT OCCUR AGAIN TONIGHT... THEREFORE...

THE ECMWF DEEPENS THE LOW OVER THE NW GULF OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE TAKING THE SYSTEM INLAND NEAR BRO TX SOMETIME MID NEXT WEEK. THE GFS STILL SEEMS TO BE THE OUTLIER...MEANDERING THE LOW OVER THE MOUTH OF THE MS RIVER BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON THEN DRIFTING THE SYSTEM OVER THE STATE INTO MID NEXT WEEK. THE GFS STILL SEEMS A BIT UNREASONABLE OVER THE WEEKEND...TAKING THE SYSTEM EASTWARD MAINLY AGAINST THE FLOW WITH HIGH PRESSURE INFLUENCE STILL NOTED OVER THE SE STATES. EITHER WAY... WOULD EXPECT INCREASING TROPICAL MOISTURE TO SPREAD UP OVER THE STATE BY SUNDAY-MONDAY TIME FRAME AS BOTH ECMWF AND GFS SHOW A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHING INTO NORTH GA SUNDAY NIGHT-MONDAY MORNING AND SERVING TO HELP ADVECT AMPLE MOISTURE UP OVER THE STATE BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW THE GREATER POPS INCREASING FROM THE WEST ON SUNDAY...THEN SPREADING OVER THE FORECAST AREA ON MONDAY AND PERSISTING THROUGH MID WEEK AT LEAST.
