THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.
.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS AND ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA WILL DRIFT SLOWLY
SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA TONIGHT.
.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
DAMAGING WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...AND
LARGE HAIL WILL OCCUR WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS...PARTICULARLY
BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 2 PM AND 10 PM.
.DISCUSSION...
THE ATMOSPHERE IS EXPECTED TO BECOME QUITE UNSTABLE AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON WITH CAPE IN EXCESS OF 2000 AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES. THESE FACTORS AND A NEARBY SURFACE TROUGH WILL AID IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PULSE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON.
SEVERAL OF THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE STRONG DOWNBURST
WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND SOME LARGE HAIL. LIGHT WEST WINDS
BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL LEAD TO SLOW MOVING STORMS...
WHICH WILL INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. AS
THE TROUGH DRIFTS SOUTHWARD...THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT SHOULD SHIFT
FROM NORTH GEORGIA...TO CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE WELL INTO THE
EVENING HOURS.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...PRIMARILY
OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING VARIETY.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR ACTIVATION THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.
