NorthGeorgiaWX 5,172 Posted September 10, 2019 Good morning! Today would have been my mother's 89th birthday, so Happy Birthday mom! We miss you... A few more days of heat and then some relief will be on the way in the form of rain and some clouds. Quote Long term models in good agreement keeping upper level ridging centered across northern AL through early Friday. GFS is faster shifting the upper ridging eastward over the Carolinas and off the Mid-Atlantic coast overnight Friday into Saturday. This allows weak surface boundary to sink into north Georgia, with ripples in the upper level flow moving across a weak weak surface boundary over south Georgia as well. This will allow for a return to scattered mainly afternoon and early evening showers and thunderstorms Friday through the weekend. ECMWF shows broad ridging remaining across the forecast area, and while some storms will be possible most of the activity will remain across southern portions of the forecast area. Temperatures and heat indices will remain above normal while remaining below daily all-time records on Thursday - except in Atlanta where forecast highs will flirt with record values. Will need to keep an eye on the values as the we get closer. Models indicating increased cloud cover, and therefore lower temperatures, albeit still above normal for this time of year through the weekend. It won't be long and fall will begin to take hold and the extreme heat will be a thing of the past. There are a few areas of interest in the tropics that bear watching, including one that "could" influence our weather later this week, so I'll be keeping an eye on this system. I thought you might be interested in this... it's your first hint at a winter forecast from Weatherbell. Quote The Verdict The conditions in the oceans around the U.S. are ripe for major arctic outbreaks, but the early season, as has been the habit of late, is likely to start warm in the East. The worst-case scenario is a brutally cold old-fashioned winter. Precipitation should be plentiful again in the east given, the natural fight between the cold air to the west and the warm oceans to the east. The west looks warm, though the Euro would argue that the Pioneer is onto something, sticking more cold into the southern Rockies. Buckle up, there is going to be plenty of cold around with January-March being colder against the normals in the East than December-February. If you start late with the winter, you are liable to end late. So, with a grain of salt... here we go. 🙂 Stay cool and enjoy this day to its fullest! Have a great one!

RickyD 510 Posted September 10, 2019 I saw today where October temps in the south could remain above normal. I am just musing about what I mentioned in an earlier post. If we hold on to a dominant high in the south in October do we now see the opposite effect of normal as far as Canes? Do they come more westerly, instead of the N Easterly hook that happens as they are effected by low press and a front? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Bermuda high were to be in control, the storms would tend to rotate around the periphery of the high. So where ever that ends up being located is where a storm may track. But, once you get to October, you have more cold fronts coming through, so highs generally don't stay in place too long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
