THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA 
TONIGHT.

.SYNOPSIS...
A BACKDOOR FRONT WAS LOCATED FROM EASTERN ALABAMA TOWARD THE FLORIDA 
PANHANDLE. UNSTABLE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA. 

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARDS FROM THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DANGEROUS CLOUD TO 
GROUND LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. THE GREATEST THREAT FOR 
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT. 

.DISCUSSION...
A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT HAD DRIFTED WEST INTO ALABAMA AND SOUTH INTO 
THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND FAR SOUTH GEORGIA AS A MID-ATLANTIC 
SURFACE HIGH DRIFTS SOUTHWEST TOWARD GEORGIA. SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR WAS 
NOTED ACROSS GEORGIA TODAY AS COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAYS. THIS HAS 
RESULTED IN A DECREASE IN CONVECTION FROM PREVIOUS DAYS. 
HOWEVER...THE PRESENCE OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION IN 
NORTH GEORGIA AND TENNESSEE AND A SURFACE OF DRIER AIR ADVECTING 
SOUTHWEST FROM THE CAROLINAS MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM 
DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. VERY LIMITED DYNAMICS AND 
WINDS ALOFT SUGGESTS THAT THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE SLOW 
MOVING...WHICH WILL RESULT IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLY MINOR 
FLOODING. FREQUENT CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED IN 
THE STRONGER STORMS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE IN CENTRAL GEORGIA FRIDAY AND 
SATURDAY. THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALL OF NORTH AND 
CENTRAL GEORGIA SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. 

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH TONIGHT.
