.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 352 AM EDT Sun Sep 20 2020/ 

SHORT TERM /Today through Monday/...
As Tropical Storm Beta moves west in the northern Gulf of Mexico, 
moisture streaming over portions of south and central Georgia 
brining light showers across far southern portions of forecast area. 
Models in good agreement that energy aloft will get cut off by late 
morning as the upper level trough across the eastern U.S. shifts 
further east allowing ridging to begin to build into the area. This 
will set up a dry weather pattern through the rest of the forecast 
period with temperatures up to 10 degrees below normal.

LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/...
The beginning of the long term period continues to be quiet, with
below normal temperatures and dry conditions into Wednesday as High
pressure dominates along the eastern seaboard.

There will be much uncertainty with the forecast after Wednesday
due to Tropical Storm Beta and where it will eventually move to or will
it's moisture have an effect on the forecast area. The current NHC
forecast has Beta hitting the TX coast late Monday to early Tuesday
then taking a turn to the east and moving to the lower MS valley late
Thursday as a much weaker post tropical depression. This likely means
that Beta's overall impacts will be minimal. 

Shower chances increase on Thursday as moisture associated with the 
remains of Beta move to the area. After Thursday, models are differing
with handing an upper level low/trough over the middle to eastern third
of the U.S. and associated moisture through the rest of the long term.
20 to 40 percent pops Friday through Saturday are very much the 
NBM pops.
