What happened

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.

The D4 Exceptional drought conditions rapidly worsened over Georgia through the month of November. By the end of the month, all but two counties in north and central Georgia were in the D2 Severe to D4 Exceptional drought area. The drought conditions were greatly impacted by well below rainfall for the month, particularly across southern and eastern portions of the state. These areas only received 25 percent or less of the normal November rainfall.

The area was so dry, in fact, that Atlanta ended the record-breaking 43 days of no measurable rainfall on November 29. The previous record was in 1884. Rome broke the record with 61 days of no measurable rainfall on November 28 (previously set in 1897). The rainfall deficit for the previous 6 months worsened to 13 to 16 inches below normal across north and central Georgia.

The D2 Severe to D4 Extreme drought conditions encompassed an area north and west of a line from McRae, to Swainsboro, to Augusta. Although the drought conditions were at the peak at the end of November, the drought persisted through the end of the year and into 2017.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 731 PM EDT Mon Oct 31 2016/

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 319 PM EDT Mon Oct 31 2016/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/...
A weak backdoor front is progged to move across the CWA tonight re-
enforcing the easterly flow at the surface. Some moisture is
associated with this front but only in the form of some clouds late
tonight over eastern GA. The clouds will dissipate but with a cool
east flow...temperatures across northeast GA should be closer to
normal than the rest of the CWA which will still see max temps into
the 80s. NAM MOS Guidance temps continue to excel for overnight lows
across the CWA and will lean heavily toward the MET guidance.

17

LONG TERM /Wednesday through Monday/...
No changes made to the long term forecast. Late week event still
looks faster in the latest model runs, with better chances of rain
(albeit slight chance) Thursday night and early Friday. Forecast
looks to be on track.

/Issued 407 AM EDT Mon Oct 31 2016/

Model consensus slightly more progressive with the Thursday
fropa...still moisture starved and having to bump down pops from
guidance blend given the forcing setup with trajectory out of NW.
Think will see a few isolated showers in far north Thursday
afternoon into early evening...then strong CAA behind and enhanced
gradient NW winds going into Friday. H5 ridge is quite impressive
as it amplifies up all the way into the Great Lakes west of the
area and unfortunately keeps us dry going into next week. Looks
like good bet for much of the CWA having dewpoints all the way
down into the 30s by the weekend. Friday thru Sunday should see
max temps near normal in the low to mid 70s and lows in mid to
upper 40s for many locations with strong radiational cooling
expected.

Baker

FIRE WEATHER...
High pressure will build into the region through Wednesday. This
will bring a cooler easterly flow along with an increase in
dewpoints. Temperatures will warm well into the 80s over central and
west Georgia and this is where humidities will fall to around 30
percent Tuesday afternoon. However in the cooler air over northeast
Georgia...humidities will remain above 50 percent. Higher dewpoints
will spread across the entire region Wednesday and this will keep
humidities above 40 percent Wednesday afternoon. Winds will be
easterly but remain below 10 mph.
