DIMINISHING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. EXPECT A RINSE AND

HIGHS TODAY WILL CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 80S IN FAR NORTH GA TO LOW 90S
ELSEWHERE. THIS WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDICES IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S

LONG TERM

LONG TERM STARTS THU NIGHT INTO FRI MORNING WHERE MOISTURE REMAINS
IN PLACE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. FORECAST PWATS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE
AS HIGH AS THEY HAVE BEEN BUT STILL EXPECTING VALUES IN THE 0.5" TO
1" RANGE. THE BERMUDA RIDGE AXIS WILL HAVE SLIDE A BIT FURTHER SOUTH
(ACROSS CENTRAL FL) AS WE GET INTO THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL
ALLOW A FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT BEGINS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS THU, TO MOVE SE ACROSS THE MS AND OH RIVER VALLEYS FRI AND
INTO NW GA LATE FRI NIGHT. THIS FRONT APPEARS TO MAKE ITS WAY SOUTH
AND STALL SOME WHERE ACROSS CENTRAL OR SOUTH GA SAT THEN WASHING OUT
AND GETTING CAUGHT IN THE W TO SWLY FLOW AROUND THE TOP SIDE OF THE
OLD BERMUDA RIDGE. THIS FRONT LINGERS THROUGH THE WEEKEND KEEPING
MOISTURE AROUND AND DIURNAL CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS IN PLACE.
WE'LL ALSO SEE TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE 90S IN MANY AREAS FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE MAIN SYSTEM, WHICH WILL BRING HEAT INDICES
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE.
BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO SHOW A WEAK TROPICAL SYSTEM
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GULF THU/FRI AND PUSHING INTO THE
EAST COAST OF MEXICO AROUND DAYBREAK SAT. AS IT PUSHES ONSHORE IT
MOVES NORTHWARD AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE OLD RIDGE AND GETS
CAUGHT IN THE WESTERLY FLOW MAKING ITS WAY EAST ACROSS LA/MS SUN
INTO MON. IF THIS PATTERN CONTINUES WE COULD BE DEALING WITH SOME
DEEP MOISTURE ACROSS GA BY TUE/WED OF NEXT WEEK. WILL CONTINUE TO
KEEP AN EYE ON HOW THIS DEVELOPS.
