October is usually the driest and foggiest month of the year for us, but we could be seeing our monthly average rainfall in a matter of the next 36 hours. This will disrupt the cleaning process that is taking place right now from the destructive flooding from last month.

This is the 7 day forecast from The Weather Channel. TWC is trending colder for Saturday and warming up the low for Friday Night which is leading me to believe they think temps will be falling and holding steady into the 30's for Saturday afternoon.

[TWCToday]

Looking at possible a similar situation here. Hope this is a sign of things to come this winter

I haven't updated this in nearly a year and from the previous post I made above, I can see why, what a total bust that turned out to be.  Anyways, I'm under my first Freeze Warning starting tomorrow night, it's kinda odd to me that they skipped over what could have been a Frost Advisory for tonight since it will be the first time we dip into the upper 30's and most likely there will be frost. There's also the possibility for snow in the GA mountains where little to no accumulation could occur and it's not out of the question that elevations below 1,500 could also see some snow flurries/showers briefly tonight and Friday.

Conditions as of 6:45 - 7:10pm EST (They haven't changed much since then)

Icy and Dicey in North Georgia

[toxictwister00]

First 80° Days of 2011 Coming Soon?

Synopsis: A ridge of high pressure is expected to slide right over North Georgia tomorrow and move to the south on Friday allowing a Southerly wind flow to dominate jumping temps on Friday morning from the upper 40's to the low 80's! The first of the new year if it comes to fruition, this will also be earlier than last year where our first 80 degree day was in early April which tied a record high. No record highs are expected to be tied or broken this time around, but they will be only a few degrees shy.

Friday's Forecast
80°/52° (Record 84° - 1982)


Saturday's Forecast
80°/54° (Record 85° - 1982)


Time to break out the shades, flip flops, shorts, and sunscreen!
