Good morning! Our well advertised cold period begins today. Based on how cold it was yesterday, I guess you could say it started then. I had a high of 42 and a low of 38 yesterday, but I spent the vast majority of the day in the 30's with a cold rain, all 2.08" of it. The rain is over and much drier air is ushing into the state. Dewpoints are already dropping into the low 40's. There will be another surge of colder air during the day tomorrow, and by Sunday morning well be solidly below freezing across north Georgia. We stay below normal until the big arctic blast comes late Thursday of next week. This will be one of, if not the coldest Christmas across G…

Good morning! Our first shot of cold air is inching our way this morning, as a large and deep upper level low goes negative tilt over the plains, triggering showers, thunderstorms, and tornadoes across the deep south. The wedge will strengthen today as warm moist air overrides the shallow cooler air. As rain falls into the wedge, it cools the air even further, and that causes the wedge to strengthen. Expect lows clouds (down to 1000 feet) and stratiform rain as the day progresses, and during the overnight hours that rain could become pretty heavy. We are under a Weather Prediction Center "Slight" Risk for excessive rainfall today and a Flood Watch has been issu…

Good morning! The wedge is now in place and will strengthen throughout the day, so that means cloudy and dreary conditions, along with a little fog to start the morning. Today and tomorrow will be pretty much the same, with the wedge holding strong. Many areas will struggle to get out of the 40's today, and we may be slightly warmer tomorrow but not by much. We shouldn't see any rain today, but some drizzle and mist will be possible in the area of the wedge. The heavy rain begins during the morning hours on Wednesday and will continue through late Thursday and we can expect to see another 2-3" of rain before it ends. Our first wave of cold starts Friday, …

Good morning! We're starting off not quite as cold and not as cloudy/foggy this morning compared to the last several morning's. For the most part we'll stay partly cloudy today, but we should see a big few breaks that will allow a little sunshine to pop through as drier air moves in for the day. The wedge that has been bringing the colder air and clouds/fog/drizzle/yuk to the area is a little weaker today, as the high pressure that was providing the push of colder air moves off to the east. But wait! There is another high waiting in the wings to replace it, and by tomorrow the wedge will return in force, causing daytime temperatures across north Georgia to strug…

Good morning! Another gloomy day is in store for us today and truthfully, for most of the work week. Sorry folks, it's the pattern that we're currently in. We have been under the influence of a wedge, and that almost always means cooler temperatures with low clouds and fog. The wedge is not going anywhere through Thursday, but it does ebb and flow a little bit. On Monday it should be a little weaker, but will strengthen again on Tuesday. We can expect some fairly substantial rain on Wednesday and Thursday as a cold front makes its way toward Georgia. During that round of precipitation we can expect to see another 1-2" of rainfall. If you like winter weathe…

Good morning! If you are looking out the window It kinda looks like yesterday morning, and if I didn't know where I lived, I might think I was up in the Pacific Northwest. We will remain in the clouds and fog again today, so don't expect any improvement as the CAD airmass gets reinforced. Later this evening we will have some showers moving back over the area, and those showers will hang around through the day on Sunday. Simply put, it's more of the same weather into the middle of next week before the new pattern starts to take hold on Friday. The WPC rainfall forecast brings another 2-3" of rain across north Georgia before the cold weather moves in. I…

Good morning! I've been off a few days because we took a trip to go see the Biltmore and had a great time. Dreary is the weather word for the foreseeable future. Off and on rain and clouds will hang around the area through the middle of next week, so we might as well settle in and make the best of it. We can expect to another 3-4" of rain through next Friday but we still need the rain so we shouldn't complain. Our temperatures will remain well above normal, but at least it won't be cold rain like we often get during the winter months. The middle of next week will bring a dramatic change to our weather, and that change brings the cold in several step…

Good morning! We're starting off relatively mild this morning, with high clouds and some low level fog to greet the day. Today will be the nicest day out of the next 6 days, so I hope you can get out and enjoy it. Rain returns on Monday and the work week will generally be a dreary one. Heavy rain is expected on Monday and Tuesday, and the Weather Prediction Center has most of north Georgia covered in a "Slight Risk" (2 out of 4) for excessive rainfall and flash flooding. We can expect to receive another 2-3" of rainfall between now and the end of the week, so it looks like most outdoor plans may be in jeopardy. Our temperatures will remain very mild and a…

Good morning! A fairly wet day is in store for today as as cold front approaches the north Georgia area. We are waking up to showers, and this is the first of what looks like three waves of rain today. The front is losing its punch as it moves closer to Georgia and it won't push very far south of Atlanta before it stalls. That will leave us with a mostly dry day on Sunday, but that front will lift back to the north and by Monday the rain will return, and this time it will be a little heavier. Rainy conditions will last most of the work week as a boundary becomes stationary across north Georgia, and there will be periods of heavy rain on Monday and Tuesday. How …

Good morning! It's only appropriate that we start off winter with some cold air and winds as "Old Man Winter" makes his presence known. The cold we're seeing now won't last, and by Saturday we'll return to above normal temperatures and rain back in the forecast. The mild temperatures and rain will stick around through next Wednesday or so before getting pushed out by our first winter blast of cold air. Between Saturday to Wednesday, we are expecting another 3-4" of rain. A major pattern change is looming on the horizon, so get ready for weather that is much colder than what we've been experiencing, and perhaps a little whiter. Beginning sometime around the…

Good morning! The morning is starting off with clear skies and mild temperatures for this time of the year, but all of that will be changing later today as a cold front advances toward Georgia bringing showers and thunderstorms to the area, and some of those storms may become severe during the overnight hours and into Wednesday morning. Folks to our west have a lot to be concerned about later today and this evening. The SPC has issued a Moderate (4 out of 5) for all of central Mississippi, and in that area there is a 10% chance for EF-2 to EF-5 tornadoes, some of which may be long track. During the overnight hours, that weather will be making its way towar…

Good morning! First of all, and just to be clear, we are not expecting a tornado outbreak on Tuesday here in Georgia, this outbreak is going to occur over Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and west Tennessee. Conditions will be conducive for a region tornado outbreak on Tuesday due to substantial moisture advection combined with high levels of shear and helicity. Long track tornadoes will be possible. For us, the severe weather parameters just don't line up like the Tuesday outbreak. While we may see a few strong thunderstorms during the overnight hours and into Wednesday morning, I don't believe we'll have any major threats for severe weather as the main …

Just thought I'd share a few tweets and images about the upcoming changes to the weather. Colder weather will be coming starting the 2nd week of December. The ensembles are all in.

I posted some of this yesterday, and some of this is new today. We're are going to be entering a very active and cold period beginning around the 7-9th of December. Here are the current thoughts from a selection of meteorologist.

Good morning! Hope you've been enjoying the nice cool weather we've had lately! The month has had a lot of temperature swings, but that is not out of the ordinary for November. The average temperature for the month has been about 3 degrees above normal across north Georgia, but the average for the last 7 days has been about 10-11 degrees below normal. The weather will be changing a little and this week should see our temperatures rising into the above normal range with an increase in dewpoints, and that will help to take the chill out of the air. There is a tiny chance for showers on Tuesday, but I don't think we'll see anything this far north. Right now T…

Good morning! We're waking up to a sound on the roof that we haven't heard very often over the last 4 weeks or so, and no it's not Santa yet. There's nothing like starting the day with an ice cold rain to go along with that nice hot cup of coffee. I will say that this system that is impacting us today is one that in a few more weeks might be bringing snow instead of rain. The higher elevations are in the mid to upper 30's this morning, so just a little more cold air and we'd be in business here in the mountains. I would need a 9 degree drop, I'm sitting at 39 degrees right now. This rainfall is due to a shortwave that is rotating out ahead of a cold front that…

Good evening! It was cold outside this morning! I had a low of 29.8º F and I know others were even colder. Today stayed below the forecast highs and I only reached 40 degrees here. Lows tonight are going to drop into the 20's for most areas across north Georgia, but Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be even colder. We mostly likely will not get out of the 40's for highs this week and through the weekend. This is my third fall here and the computer automatically tracks the first and last freeze dates, and my first freeze of the season here at the house has been getting earlier and earlier. Of course three years is hardly a good sample but it is a trend. …

Good morning! Now that Nicole is out of the way, we can focus on the cold weather that will impact north Georgia for the next several weeks. We're starting off this Saturday morning with our temperatures running about 13 degrees or so above normal, partially due to the leftover moisture from Nicole. But sometime during the early afternoon hours, the front will be entering the state and and bringing some pretty cold air along with it. The main push of the cold air will occur during the overnight hours, and by Sunday morning most areas across north Georgia will be sitting in the upper 20's, and those temps will be some 8-9 degrees below normal. That will be about…

Good morning! There is a lot of active weather to talk about this morning as Tropical Storm Nicole spins her way westward toward the east coast of Florida. The latest update as of 4 AM EST this morning shows Nicole to be 270 miles to the east of West Palm Beach and moving west-southwest at 13 mph. Winds are now at 70 mph and Nicole is expected to be a hurricane later today and as it makes landfall late tonight. Nicole will begin to turn toward the northwest on Thursday as she begins her recurve toward Georgia. The current NHC track takes Nicole over Macon as she accelerates off to the northeast on Friday. Impacts for north Georgia will begin today as the …

Good morning! Big changes are on the way, so get ready! First we have a tropical system to deal with, and once that exits to our northeast a strong fall cold front sweeps through the state on Saturday. Sub-Tropical Storm Nicole is churning about 400 miles ENE of the northwestern Bahamas this morning with 45 mph winds, and she is expected to turn toward the west to southwest and head toward the east coast of Florida. Nicole is a large storm with 40 mph winds extending up to 380 miles from the center so that will spread the impacts across a large area. The storm is expected to be near or at hurricane strength when it reaches the east coast of Florida, so anyone t…

Good morning! We start off the day with cloudy skies, and I think that most of the day should continue that trend. We can expect a few more light showers as the day goes on as a line of drier air pushes into this moist atmosphere we're sitting in, but it will be like yesterday in that the showers will be light and brief. Monday looks to be pretty nice with the temperatures well above normal for this time of the year, but that begins to change on Tuesday and Wednesday as a wedge builds in from the northeast and drops our temperatures back to normal levels. We have a tropical system that may impact parts of Florida and then later parts of Georgia, so we're …

Good morning! We start off the morning with very mild conditions as our winds shift to the south to southwest in advance of the approaching cold front that will arrive later this evening. Most of the day should be nice and warm and the majority of north Georgia should see highs in the low 70's. Later this afternoon we may see a few scattered showers out ahead of the main line of weather, but the main line of showers and thunderstorms will be arriving between the 8 pm to midnight timeframe, and some of those storms may be strong to severe. One saving grace for Georgia is that the line will be weakening as it starts its approach into the state, so the severe thre…
