...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS FAR  
SOUTHERN GEORGIA INTO NORTH FLORIDA...  
 
PW VALUES EXPECTED TO RISE TO 2 TO 2.5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE  
THE MEAN SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE ARCTIC  
FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST GULF INTO THE  
SOUTHEAST AND NORTH FLORIDA. THE AXIS OF STRONG LOW LEVEL WEST  
SOUTH WESTERLY FLOW ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL SLOW  
FOR A PERIOD LATE SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY AS MID LEVEL HEIGHT  
FALLS DIVE INTO THE BASE OF THE BROAD VORTEX ACROSS EASTERN NORTH  
AMERICA. THIS WILL SUPPORT POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING OF PRECIP AREAS  
ALONG AND JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE ARCTIC FRONT ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN  
GEORGIA INTO NORTH FLORIDA. THE NON NCEP MODELS...EC..CMC...CMC  
GEM AND UKMET...ARE SHOWING A MORE ORGANIZED AXIS OF HEAVY RAINFALL  
POTENTIAL THAN THE GFS AND NAM. WPC QPF IS LEANING MORE TOWARD THE  
NON-NCEP GUIDANCE GIVEN THE ANOMALOUS PW VALUES AND POTENTIAL FOR  
A PERIOD OF TRAINING. THE EXPECTED AXIS OF HEAVY RAINS IS FORECAST  
ACROSS REGIONS THAT HAVE SEEN INCREASES IN RELATIVE SOIL MOISTURE  
OVER THE PAST WEEK FROM RECENT HEAVY RAINS THAT HAVE STRETCHED FROM  
THE CENTRAL GULF COAST INTO THE FL PANHANDLE AND NORTH FLORIDA.  
STILL, FFG VALUES REMAIN HIGH, WITH THE FORECAST ADDITIONAL  
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1-2" LIKELY ONLY RESULTING IN ISOLATED RUNOFF  
ISSUES.
