Storms out West Heading Towards Atlanta

Storms out West Heading Towards Atlanta

Short Term

There is a line of storms just north of the metro Atlanta area that is slowly moving towards the south. The line is moving south, while the individual storms are moving east. One of the stronger cells is moving from Floyd into Bartow county as we speak. Nothing is expected to be severe over the next few hours, but we could see some bried heavy rain this evening, up to 1/2 of an inch additional in the metro Atlanta area.

Thunderstorms and Radar Update

There are t-storms in the metro area right now, none are severe. There are storms up in Gordon, Pickens, and Gilmer counties that are a bit stronger that are headed towards the nothern side of the metro area. Expect these storms to move into the northern side of the metro area by around 8pm. In am not expecting these to be severe. 

 

Severe Chances Tonight in the NW Section of the State

Severe Chances Tonight in the NW Section of the State

Short Term

Rain is moving into the NW sections of the state this afternoon, as of right now nothing is severe. See the radar image below. All of the storms are firing along a cold front that is moving in from the north. The good news is that the air is very stable at the surface which means the threat for tornadoes is almost none, but there is a small threat for some hail. The storms will move into the metro area later tonight and give us some brief heavy rain, nothing severe is expected in the metro area. See below for the latest model updates from our local RPM model runs.

Mid Range

Cold front moves through tomorrow and gives us a big cool down for Thursday. Temps will be back into the lower 30's for lows and mid 50's for highs.

My Thoughts

We get some moderate to heavy rain in the metro later tonight, but not expecting anything to be severe. 

T-Storms Possible Tonight

We will be looking at mostly cloudy skies with isolated showers through the morning and early afternoon.  A southerly flow will help temperatures warm up, despite the lack of sunshine. Temperatures will be in the low 60s ahead of the front, then cooler air will move in behind the front for Wednesday.  Thunderstorms are possible this evening as the front moves through. Some of the thunderstorms could produce heavy showers, gusty winds, and/or small hail.

It's Time for the Long Ranger!

It's Time for the Long Ranger!

Short Term (UPDATED)

We are still on target for rain tomorrow. Rain looks like it might move in earlier than expected as some of the models start bringing it in around the noon hour. Have the kids go to school with an umbrella because it will be raining mostl likely when they get out of school. Temps will still be in the 60's for highs.

Mid Range

We are expecting perfect weather Thursday afternoon with lots of sunshine and highs in the upper 50's. Clouds come back on Friday, rain returns on Saturday.

Well, the weird weather of the Winter of 2011-2012 continues with mild weather for the remainder of the night. Temps will stay in the 50's through the midnight hour under mostly cloudy skies. There have been a few areas of rain and even some sleet in N Georgia, look for a few more rain showers up north tonight but we are not expecting any more sleet. 

Mid Range

Clouds Stay for a Few Days!

We are starting off with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Only a slight chance for a few sprinkles. We will see a mix of sun and clouds this afternoon, and clouds will continue to increase through early evening.
Better chance for rain will come Tuesday, as a cold front will move through the area. Chances for rain will begin by afternoon. Thunderstorms are possible after 3pm. Any thunderstorms that form will be isolated.
Temperatures will continue to warm up as we head toward the end of the week
