HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA

440 PM EDT FRI APR 30 2010

…HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH AND MUCH OF CENTRAL GEORGIA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY…

A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MOVE TO CENTRAL OR SOUTH GEORGIA TUESDAY…AND POSSIBLY BECOME STATIONARY. A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE FRONT ALONG WITH STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT. THIS WILL GIVE

POTENTIAL FOR A SLOW MOVING BAND OF HEAVY RAIN TO DEVELOP THAT COULD CAUSE HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER A LARGE AREA OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL BE POSSIBLE. WHILE THE STATE HAS SEEN BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL THIS SPRING…LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WILL STILL BE ABLE TO CAUSE RAPID RISES ON AREA CREEKS AND STREAMS.

THERE IS STILL SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM REGARDING THE SPEED OF THE COLD FRONT…AND THE TIMING OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SWEEP THROUGH…ENDING THE HEAVY RAIN SOME TIME ON TUESDAY OR LATER. IF THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH MORE QUICKLY…THIS WILL RESULT IN LOWER RAINFALL AMOUNTS. HOWEVER…IF THE COLD FRONT STALLS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME…THIS WILL RESULT IN GREATER RAINFALL POTENTIAL.

RESIDENTS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA CAN KEEP UP TO DATE ON THE LATEST FLOOD THREAT INFORMATION BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE AT WEATHER.GOV AND CLICKING ON GEORGIA…OR STAY TUNED TO YOUR NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND UPDATES.
