Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Peachtree City Georgia 
535 am EST Monday Nov 23 2009 




Short term /today through Wednesday/... 
wedge pattern persists over the area with mainly drizzle and fog 
this morning. The Wedge continues into Wednesday with some patchy 
drizzle and low clouds through much of period. As a result of 
persistent cloudiness...will hold temperatures below guidance 
through Wednesday. 


Long term /Wednesday night through Sunday/... 
a low lifts from the plains into the Great Lakes Wednesday and 
drags the associated cold front across the County Warning Area to allow a drier 
air mass into the area Wednesday night...and stays with US through 
Sunday. Both the GFS and European model (ecmwf) have similar solutions for the 
period. Although...the rotation of this low does brings some 
clouds and possibly enough moisture for a few showers over extreme 
northern sections Friday. Otherwise...dry through the period.
