THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PUSHES EASTWARD AND ENHANCES DEVELOPMENT IN A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. THE GREATEST CHANCE WILL BE ACROSS ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. WHILE PORTIONS OF THE AREA HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN...THE MAIN HAZARDS WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT WILL BE HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING...ALONG WITH FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA. WHILE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LEVELS...A SEVERE WIND GUST REMAINS POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. ALSO...THOSE ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING OR URBAN AREAS SHOULD REMAIN CAUTIOUS FOR THE POTENTIAL OF QUICK PONDING OF WATER WITH STRONGER STORMS OR TRAINING OF MULTIPLE CELLS OVER THE SAME AREA. TREES MAY ALSO BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FALL IN AREAS WITH MOIST AND LOOSENED SOIL. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY... A WEAK FRONT TRAILING BEHIND THE AFOREMENTIONED DISTURBANCE LOOKS TO STALL NEAR THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF CENTRAL GEORGIA FOR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE GREATER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO REMAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE AREA...THOUGH ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD MAINTAIN AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE. A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM LOOKS TO BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST FOR THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WHICH MAY SERVE TO LIMIT THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE EAST AND POSSIBLY FOCUS DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE PERIPHERY TOWARD THE SOUTH AND FAR WEST. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE FOR TERRAIN INDUCED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT DURING THE DAYTIME PERIODS FOR FAR NORTH GEORGIA. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT...BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY SEVERE WEATHER...FLOODING AND DAMAGE. |
