Good morning!

Our fair weather will be coming to an end, as an upper level low starts to impact our area beginning tomorrow. 

The chances for heavy rain have seemed to have stabilized, and now show the greatest chances long the coast and over southeast Georgia. North Georgia can still expect to see a decent amount of rain, with the heaviest totals across the eastern side of the state.  This is the WPC rainfall forecast.

 

Zoomed in view for Georgia.

 

Winds will be the biggest impact, and the majority of those winds will happen as the low passes to our east. Gust in the 40 mph range can be expected due to the pressure gradient from the departing low and high pressure that will be moving in to replace it. 

 

These are the expected winds here in Big Canoe.

 

Riding on those brisk winds will be some below normal temperatures for a few days. Our lows will dip into the 20's on Tuesday through Thursday, and highs in the upper 40's to low 50's. And yes, the mountains could see a few flakes flying as the low departs, but it won't amount to anything. Cloudy skies will make for a dreary weekend.

 

Temperature anomalies.

 

This shows the 24 hour temperature change.

 

The extended range models are showing below normal temperatures for January, and that is exactly what we were expecting.

Chances have dropped a little. It would have been more appropriate to use the same colors for both maps, since they show exactly the same thing.

Welp weather that winter lovers don't like but still have to discuss is potential for dangerous weather this weekend. Here is Spann's post. The severe weather has moved the little farther north and east to us in North Georgia. More weather to watch!
