Scattered light rain showers dot portions of north Georgia early
this morning ahead of a cold front currently analyzed across the
Tennessee Valley. Meanwhile, areas of fog, some locally dense, will
be possible in portions of east-central Georgia this morning. The
front will make progress into northwest Georgia by sunrise and
continue southeastward through the day. Ongoing showers are expected
to diminish in coverage through mid-morning amid continued loss of
instability. However, as SBCAPE recovers over 500 J/kg by early
afternoon ahead of the front for areas south of I-20, additional
scattered showers and a couple of isolated thunderstorms are
expected to redevelop and push southward through central Georgia
through this evening. QPF will remain limited overall and certainly
not enough to improve worsening drought conditions. Though a few
lucky spots could max out with totals near a half inch, most areas
will receive under a tenth to quarter of an inch through tonight.
Temperatures today will climb well above seasonal normals as cooler,
drier air will lag in the wake of the front. As such, highs ranging
from the low to mid 80s north to near 90 in far southern counties
can be expected.
Cooler, drier air will begin to arrive overnight as surface high
pressure transitions eastward across the Great Lakes toward upstate
New York. This will translate into the onset of a "wedge" surface pattern
locally overnight into Thursday, returning a fresh northeasterly
breeze. Thursday will bring far more October-like conditions as
highs will remain in the low to mid 70s for most as drier dewpoints
begin to filter in amid the northeasterly breeze.

With the development of high amplitude mid-level troughing spanning
the majority of ECONUS throughout the day Friday -- a feature which
lingers through the entirety of the extended range -- north and
central Georgia look to remain in a regime of deep northwesterly
flow at the mid-levels for several days. With a continuous stream of
dry, continental air aloft, precipitation chances remain
negligible (
