NorthGeorgiaWX 5,548 Posted November 19, 2019 Good Tuesday morning! Again, not much to talk about today. We are still under the influence of an upper level trough, but that trough will continue to slide east today. We will have a few more seasonable and sunny fall days and then the chance for rain returns Friday. Quote By late Thursday into Friday morning, a more potent trough over the Great Lakes will be the initial impetus to begin to push the front southeastward. An upper low over the Central Plains will aid in the formation of a surface low along the front in the Arklatex region on Friday which will push the cold front eastward toward the forecast area. Models have come into much better agreement with the timing of the front into our area. General consensus is that the front will push into the state by Saturday morning as the surface low shifts northeastward across Tennessee. Given this timing, shower chances will initially begin to increase across the northwest corner of the state as early as Friday afternoon and evening with widespread showers gradually spreading southeastward across the area through the day Saturday in association with the cold front. With forecast instability continuing to be negligible, thunderstorms are not expected. Rainfall totals will be highest across north Georgia with forecast QPF from Friday into Saturday night over an inch in these areas. Isolated totals approaching two inches will be possible in the north Georgia mountains. Rainfall amounts will lessen to below a half inch farther south into central Georgia. Rain will taper off from northwest to southeast from Saturday afternoon into Saturday night as the front clears the area. Sunday will bring mostly sunny conditions with cooler temperatures behind the front. Highs will revert back to 2-6 degrees below normal as opposed to the above normal temperatures on Thursday and Friday. Dry weather will persist at least into Monday. In the Sunday post I mentioned the upper level lows and this winter, and here's another meteorologist talking about it. For us, that may be great news, but we'll just have to wait and see. Just be glad you'll have some sunlight here... you could be in Barrow Alaska. So some rather bland weather for a few days, but it is still fall and that's the weather we get in Georgia. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
