The Map to Hell

Here is some bad news for those that hate a long, hot, dry summer:

If this persists through the spring, then summer is going to be very unpleasant in Atlanta. No soil moisture ups the chances for extended periods of upper 90’s to over 100 with little to no relief from summer storms. The only fix becomes hoping that a tropical system brings rain. I’m afraid we are in from a brutal summer in the SE.... and I’m none to happy about that!

Minor Snow Event for Atlanta

Not really expecting too much for this event, but winter storms in the south can always surprise us... I think this map from the Atlanta office of the NWS from this morning is pretty dead on for this event...

I know I’d be a lot more excited about this event in years past. I hope it stays that way for the next couple of years with big events sprinkled with a few minor events!

Wintry Slop Overnight?

Winter continues with a chance of wintry slop for Atlanta tonight and Friday morning. This will likely be mostly rain with some snow mixing in sometime after midnight. At the moment, no accumulations are expected (and will change back to just rain for Friday afternoon). But wouldn’t it be nice to have a 3-day weekend?

Massive Winter Storm For the Midwest

That’s a lot of winter weather!

For the Atlanta area, we won’t see any wintery fun, but we might have a few isolated Thunderstorms later today and overnight. Then winter returns for Weds. with lots wind and temps back in the 40’s during the day and a return to the 20’s overnight.
