Good morning! I believe that our rain chances will be a little lower for a few days. We still have chances for showers in the forecast for the next 7 days, the bulk of the heavier rain is going to remain co-located with the higher precipitable water values to our south. The boundary that has been dividing the moist from the dry remains almost stationary, and with occasional drifts north and south. With no steering currents to move things around, we are sometimes on the moist side of the boundary (like two days ago), while other times (like today and tomorrow) we're on the drier side. North Georgia will stay on the drier side of the boundary through at least We…

Good morning! Well, I tried to get a post up yesterday, but our guest stayed until 2 PM, so obviously that didn't happen. 🙂 How much rain did you get yesterday and last night? I ended up with 1.94", so that was a pretty heft rainfall. And guess what? We get to see more of that today! In the post I was going to make yesterday, I mentioned that the models were showing the boundary that is causing the rain staying further south than previous runs, and if that happened we would stay in the drier air. Good thing I didn't post that. Now it's flipped the other way and the rain has returned from Wednesday on. Actually, it never really goes away, so don't get your hopes …

Good morning! We only had a few scattered showers yesterday, so I hope you enjoyed the "grace" days, maybe now we can get to the promised rain. But not so quick... there is one caveat to the rain and that's the question of where the axis of the heaviest precipitation might take place. In the post I show you what the models are thinking to give you an idea of the uncertainty in the forecast. The forecast area can still expect 1.5-3.0" of rain with isolated amounts up to 4.0" through next Friday, although right now I expect the heaviest rain to stay to our south. There are some hydrological concerns as we get into next week, and that Hydrology Statement is furthe…

Good morning! Well, it didn't rain yesterday, and it may not rain today. The rain is focused on central and southern Georgia today, so our chances will be slight at best. We'll probably stay mostly cloudy, but there could be some breaks with sunshine. We're right on the edge of the clouds, so that makes it tricky to predict. The frontal boundary responsible for the cooler air is also responsible for the lack of rain yesterday and again today. It sagged further south than anticipated, and instead of rain we have fall weather. We're still going to get the rain, and it's going to be more of a nuisance than anything else. We're still expecting several inches throug…

Good morning! Might as well get use to the clouds because they are going to be around for awhile. And as long as you're getting use to things, add rain to the list. 🙂 Even if you're not seeing any rain right now, it probably feels like it could rain at any moment. With temperatures in the 60's, a steady northeast wind, and all of this moisture, it feels pretty cool and fall like out there this morning. Wouldn't it be great to have an early start to fall? It seems like we always stay warm right up to November, so a cooler September and October would be nice. A little frost on the pumpkin... 🙂 We are still expecting several inches of rain through the weekend,…

Good morning! Well, the last of the nice cool and dry days are over, and we will start off the beginning of the work week with a chance of showers and thunderstorms later today. Fortunately, most if not all of the day should be nice, so if we see any rain (and the chances are low), it will be after all of the daytime activities are over. Tomorrow should be dry, but parts of north Georgia might have a slight chance for a shower. Wednesday brings the change in the pattern from dry to wet, and wet it is going to be. At the moment, the WPC is calling for 3-4" of rain between Wednesday and Monday morning, so localized flooding and flash flooding will be a conc…

Good morning! We had a break from the rain yesterday, even though it was all around us, so I wasn't a very good dart thrower. 🙂 My high temps have been fairly low the last two days with highs in the low 80's. We still have a >70% chance for rain through Thursday, at least across the higher elevations, and those chances decrease slightly as you head south. Some of the models are showing a rapid development of the showers and thunderstorms around the 1 PM timeframe, so heads up if you happen to be enjoying the outdoors today. The good news is that a cold front is expected to push through our area late Thursday and into Friday, and it will bring much drier…

Good morning! Well, how do like this weather so far? 🙂 It's nice and crisp, with breezy northeast winds this morning, and it feels an awful lot like fall out there. Even though it's not fall, it is certainly going to feel like it for the next week. We will warm to the low 80's from Sunday through Tuesday, but after that we cool back down with highs in the mid 70's and increased chances for rain. It now appears that the rest of the month may end up being below normal for temperatures, so that is some very good news for a month that is usually pretty hot here in Georgia. Fall is generally a dry and calm season for north Georgia, with an occasional tropical …

Good morning! Well... the end is in sight. Sorry... I meant the end of the rain. 🙂 Today should be the last "good" shot of it as a cold front makes its way into the state and pushes the rain away tomorrow. There is a chance the the rain along the Gulf coast may work to inhibit the rain chances here today, so we'll see how that plays out. There will be some slight chances for rain on Friday depending on how quickly the front clears our area, but Saturday and Sunday should be pretty nice. You're going to love the lower dewpoints and temperatures, and those will carry over into next week. Shower chances return Monday as the north Georgia area will be in a no…

Good morning! It looks like we caught a break in the action yesterday, i.e. we got lucky and missed the rain for the most part. I don't think today will turn out the same way. Keep in mind, predicting the location summer thunderstorms is like throwing darts, but we have very high chances for rain today. I guess if you throw enough darts, you finally hit the center. 🙂 The entire week, except for Friday, will have 70-90% chances for rain with the majority of that falling during the afternoon and evenings. Friday finally brings a cold front across the area and we'll cool down and dry out for a few days. Our 10 day average temperature anomaly shows us running below …

Good morning! I could sit here and not type anything, and I'd bet you would still know what was going to happen with the weather today. Today through next Thursday will bring a 70% chance of rain to most of the north Georgia area, especially for folks that live in the higher elevations. I had 0.64" of rain yesterday and our totals keep going up. I would much rather go into the climatologically dry fall season with a surplus than a deficit. Late this weekend, a wave is forecast to move off of the African coast and over the Atlantic, and the NHC is denoting an area of possible development next week. Maybe we'll have something to watch over the next 7-10 days. Mor…

Good morning! There is still a 50/50 or greater chance for showers each day for the next week, so no changes to report for us. We really can't complain though, we're doing well with rain, so things aren't drying out and creating a fire hazard, and our temperatures have been running right at the normal mark, so no excessive heat to contend with. So I'm not complaining, I just wish I had something else to talk about. 🙂 The tropics are still unusually quiet right now with absolutely nothing going on, and part of the reason for that has been a layer of dusty dry air called the Saharan Air Layer or SAL. Dust is carried off of the deserts of Africa, and once it gets …

Good morning! More boring summertime weather where the weather never changes. 🙂 Oh wait... one little change for today! The rain chances drop to the 40% range instead of the 70-80% chances we've been experiencing. That's it. Starting tomorrow, we jump back up to 50% chances for the next 7 days with highs in the mid 80's and lows in the mid 60's, so really no change for the foreseeable future. Nothing else to talk about right now, so I'll keep it short! All three of the deterministic models show temperature anomalies at or below normal over the next 10 days. For precipitation, the GFS is wetter than the Euro and…

Good morning! Well... another July under our belt and almost half of the summer is gone. 2/3 of meteorological summer is behind us. So far we've been pretty close to normal for our temperatures and rainfall since June 1. Today is going to be another wet day, and showers are already falling across the top row of counties and more are entering the state, and today will bring the highest rain chances for the week. Tuesday and Wednesday will be the warmest days and the days with the lowest chance for rain. Beginning Wednesday our rain chances return to the "coin flip" range right on through next weekend and hour highs settle into the mid 80's. No big changes…

Good morning! We took the grandbaby and her parents to the pool yesterday and the weather turned out perfect! We had a few light sprinkles while we were there and the clouds helped to keep the temperatures at reasonable levels. Did you like the weather yesterday? If you did, today and tomorrow are going to be very much the same, with high probabilities of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Some of those from yesterday lingered well into the early morning hours, as the air is saturated and it doesn't take much to make it rain. There is not going to be any real change in the forecast for the at least the next 7 days. Fortunately, we're stuck in…

Good morning! We're almost to the end of July and I can't believe how quickly the summer has flown by. Right now it looks like at least part of August is looking hot, so I don't even want to think about that right now. We had a really great light show last night as a cluster of thunderstorms passed to our north. We going to have a pretty good chance for showers and thunderstorms today as a boundary to our north sags southward and provides the trigger for the storms, and our rain chances will remain above 70% through Monday for most of north Georgia. I believe that our highs should remain in the 80's across north Georgia, but it gets hotter once you get out of t…

Good morning! I figure it's time I make a real post, even though there is still nothing to report on, it's the "Summer Doldrums". Today will be fairly dry across north Georgia as our temperatures start to increase and Thursday may be the hottest day of the week. But the clouds and rain return beginning Friday, and north Georgia is looking at 5-7 days with rain chances greater than 50% and highs in the low to mid 80's. Today and tomorrow will be the days to get outdoors and enjoy the weather before the kids go back to school, after that you start to take your chances with the rain. Fortunately, whatever falls will primarily be afternoon and evening showers and t…

Good morning! This will be short and sweet today since there isn't any active weather to talk about right now. Yesterday was, on average, the warmest day of the year, so it's all downhill from here. 🙂 At least in theory. 😉 Our temperatures here in the mountains will warm up a little and we "may" see a scattered 90 or so on Sunday, but most of the really hot temperatures will remain to our south and west. As you head toward the metro area the 90's will start showing up more and more. Our rain chances go down starting today and will stay in the 20% range through Sunday before rising back up to a 40/50% chance the rest of the week. Meh. …

Good morning! Yes, I've been enjoying the rain this morning and being a slacker. I did get a nice time lapse of the line as it pushed across Big Canoe and areas to our east and northeast. Our rain chances will drop tomorrow through Sunday as high pressure tries to build into our area, but there are some discrepancies in the models as to whether that will happen or not. The Euro says it won't, and that scenario would help to keep our temperatures down. For now, we'll have a couple of days of potential 90 degree high temperatures before cooling back down as the rain chances increase once again on Monday. This is the current (9:32 AM) r…

Good morning! No real changes in our forecast other than we will be on a slow warming trend. It will eventually get hot, so be prepared for it. Fortunately, the chances for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will remain, so those will help to take the edge off of the heat. Thursday afternoon and evening will bring a chance for some severe weather as a cold front tries to push into the state, with the main threat being high winds and lightning. The 00Z Euro has spied an area over the Atlantic next week, as the tropics start to become more active. This little system started off as a wave exiting the African coast, and with lower pressures acro…

Good morning! The rain finally arrived late yesterday and has lingered well into this morning. I don't expect to see any real change as we go through the day, and additional showers over in Mississippi and Alabama make their way to north Georgia later today. We have a few thunderstorms moving into Georgia as I type, and we should experience those here before too long. Our summertime weather will continue for the next 7 days, so no real changes are in store for us. We will be on a slight warming trend as time goes on, but we shouldn't see any excessive heat across the area. Still keeping an eye on the tropics even though there is nothing to …

Good morning! More of the same weather makes for a dull post, so I'll keep it short so you don't have to suffer through it like I do. 🙂 Don't be fooled by the sunshine this morning. Today is the day with the best chance for rain this week, and the rain that is currently over Mississippi and across middle and west Tennessee should begin to push into the state around mid day. We will have very similar conditions tomorrow before the rain chances taper down as we go through the rest of the week. We're coming up on the average hottest day of the year, July 21. On average, we'll slowly start to see a very slow cool down toward fall after the…

Good morning! We got back to BC around 2 pm yesterday, so I think it's about time I made a weather post. 🙂 Vacation is over. I guess the weather hasn't been too bad across north Georgia with some scattered showers along with plenty of sun, and nothing is really going to change over the next 7 days. Tomorrow will bring the greatest chance for rain this week as a front tries to push into Georgia during the afternoon hours. Except for tomorrow, expect more general summertime weather, with chances for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Our temperatures are going to remain seasonal, so no extremes for us to deal with anytime soon. We still don't h…

Good morning! I'll keep this short this morning, we leave around 8 am to go down to St. Simons Island for a few days of R&R. We're being squeezed this morning, as have a cold front to the north, and warm moist air coming in from the south, and when they clash expect the rain to fall, and that should be the story for the greater part of the day today. Today and Monday look to be the days with the greatest probability for rain, but the chances for rain will be with us each day for the next 7 days. Our temperatures will slowly start to trend up as we head through the period. Rainfall amounts don't look too excessive for the 7 day per…

Good morning! We had a very nice reprieve from the heat yesterday, and I only hit 76 degrees for a high temperature. Today will be very much the same across north Georgia, but areas to our south will start to see an increase in showers and thunderstorms as our flow will be coming from the south starting later this evening. That southerly flow is going to recharge our atmosphere with moisture, so take advantage of the weather today. If I just say "more of the same", you'll probably understand exactly what I'm talking about. Beginning Wednesday the rain chances ramp up and don't change much through the beginning of next week. We're still watching the low pressure…
