.SHORT TERM...
INTERESTING FORECAST AS MODELS CONVERGE ON SIMILAR SOLUTION WITH WINTER WEATHER BECOMING MORE OF A REALITY. LATEST RUN OF MODELS SIMILAR WITH DEEPER MOISTURE SPREADING FARTHER NORTH ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA TONIGHT AS SURFACE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE GULF INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA. COLD THICKNESSES AND 850 ZERO DEGREE LINE SUPPORTING MIXED PRECIP (RAIN/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN/SNOW) AS FAR NORTH AS ATLANTA TO GAINESVILLE LINE. HAVE ISSUED WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR MUCH OF THE AREA JUST SOUTH OF ATLANTA-ATHENS LINE FOR LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY WHERE WE EXPECT THE HEAVIEST PRECIP. JUST NORTH OF THE LINE...EXPECT PRECIP AMOUNTS TO BE LIGHT AND THINKING MORE SNOW VERSUS ICE AND HAVE ISSUED A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT TO COVER. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH AS ANY SHIFT OF THE LOW FARTHER NORTH WOULD MEAN BETTER PRECIP AMOUNTS FARTHER NORTH. SYSTEM PULLS OUT RATHER QUICKLY SUNDAY MORNING AS LOW MOVES UP THE EAST U.S. COAST...TAKING BULK OF PRECIP WITH IT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT WITH DRY WEATHER AND A WARMING TREND GETTING ON THE WAY MONDAY.
I'm just north of that line! They said the *S* word!!!!!!!
