[Nhhoa] Special Weather Statement for the Independence Day Holiday

[Roger Hackler]

Statement as of 5:51 AM EDT on June 30, 2013 


... Prolonged period of strong thunderstorms and very heavy rainfall
likely Tuesday through Friday... 

... Fourth of July outdoor activities will likely be impacted... 

A stagnant... yet vigorous upper level pattern is bringing
together the ingredients for a prolonged period of thunderstorms
and very heavy rainfall across north and central Georgia for much
of this week. Warm southerly flow... rich in moisture... is
developing across Florida and the Carolinas. As high pressure
aloft over the western Atlantic and an upper level trough of low
pressure over the Mississippi Valley move west... this plume of
rich moisture will shift west over Georgia and remain in place
Tuesday through Friday. Rainfall amounts Tuesday through Friday
could range from 2 to 4 inches with local amounts around 5 inches
possible. Flooding may also occur if very heavy rain repeatedly
falls over the same areas. In addition... some of these storms could
be strong to severe with wind gusts to 60 mph... hail and frequent
cloud to ground lightning.

Persons planning outdoor activities this week... including those on
the Fourth of July... should continue to monitor the latest
forecasts and begin making contingency plans in case hazardous
weather threatens.
