Hot weather continues, but relief lurks

The next several days will continue to bring hot weather and low rain chances to North Georgia. Despite models consistently showing storm chances in the 2-3 day range, the closer we get the lower those chances go. However, an extremely isolated storm is possible on Thursday/Friday but chances are less than 10%.

Rain chances will go up just a tad on Saturday and really increase on Sunday as the upper level ridge “heat dome” drifts west and a surface high moves into the northeast. This will turn our winds to the east/northeast and usher in a much better chance of showers/storms along with some significantly cooler air for Labor Day.

With Edouard dissipating over Texas the tropical Atlantic returns to a quiet state as the extremely strong El Nino in the Pacific creates enough wind shear over the Atlantic to hinder development.
