National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
408 AM EDT Sun Jul 22 2018

.SHORT TERM /Today through Monday/...
The short term will see the persistence of a deep trough from 
the Great Lakes into the southeast states. The southern portion 
of the trough is forecast to become cut off over GA on 
Monday. In addition...remnants of a weak front will linger across 
GA. This combination should continue to support development of 
showers and thunderstorms over the area with a mainly diurnal 
pattern...with the exception of any thunderstorm complexes that 
may form. Good chance to likely pops for today and Monday look 
reasonable...with somewhat lower pops overnight. SPC has 
our area mostly in general thunder today...except marginal for our 
southernmost counties. General thunder again for Monday. As usual a 
few storms could become severe. Temperatures expected to be near 
normal most areas.

Low/trough through much of the long term. The upper low will

Plenty of moisture and instability will be in place to allow 
for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms each day. 

Forecast High temperatures will run a few to several degrees below
normal through Wednesday and then close to normal Thursday into
