Really depends on the upper air regime ... Jeanne's regime (rhyme time) and parent upper level vent did not come apart as was progged and hence, the NW side continued steadfast ... along with dry air entrainment on the southern, and eastern side, without SW shear impacting the NW quad of the cyclone ...
Very typical of a TC that has translated to an extratropical entity.
Had there been stronger SW flow aloft, we would have likely seen a trend to see most of the rainfall/significant weather on the eastern side (much like in Charley once it has skimmed the SC coast ... with very little significant weather on the west side (except around the immediate eyewall) ...
If only in the weather with enough cold air in place, ATL would have gotten a significant snowfall ...

Just walked in the door from work/picking up kids. Traffic is a nightmare. Standing water on roads, bumper to bumper all the way.
Took me 1.5 hours to travel 12 miles (285/75 - to Barrett Pkwy/West Cobb area).
Bucketing down here at home. Winds are not as bad as they were during the drive.
Man am I ticked (but grateful to be home safely). Had a church event to attend tonight, but we're staying put. Going NOWHERE. Gonna put on the jammies, cook dinner, and call it a night early.

This would have been a GREAT storm....in January, maybe even December, rather than September.

The main storm that I can remember where the rain was on the NW side was Isidore in 2002 after it moved well inland and was over MS/AL. We were on the east side of it, it had rained the whole day before(the storm was HUGE), but that day when it was closest to us, we barely had any rain.

Yeah, I missed Jeanne's rain shield to the W and NW of the center, and I was a bit concerned about this before I went to sleep last night ... but a big reason is that a core of SW winds aloft never materialized and never had a chance to lopside the western edge of the system ... in fact, the dry slot wrapped up on the eastern side of the cyclone, and almost resembles an occluded low ...

SF, Interesting explanation.
