Isolated shower for Wednesday, then drying out on Thursday

Georgia’s MACON (WMGT/41NBC) During the day, a drying tendency starts. The risk of thunderstorms is going to be much lower today. Over Middle Georgia, some residual moisture is expected to move into Eastern Georgia, where isolated to dispersed thunderstorms may occur. Due to a combination of midday heating and residual moisture, a few isolated thunderstorms are also still likely tomorrow afternoon, moving northward into the Atlanta metro. The general pattern of a leftover low over Florida and a strong ridge over the mid-Mississippi Valley by Friday is generally agreed upon by models. This system is also in charge of the 30% area outlook for the National Hurricane Center. Both the dry northwest flow on the east side of the ridge and the dry side of the low will have an impact on the Southeast. With temperatures 3 to 5 degrees above average from Thursday through Saturday and very little, but not zero, chance of precipitation, the final consequence will be a drying trend along with a warming trend.
