Tropical moisture camps out over Middle Georgia

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A tropical low along the Atlantic coast will slowly come on shore today bringing rain and a few isolated thunderstorms to Middle and southern Georgia. Severe weather is not anticipated and rainfall totals look to range from an inch to less than a tenth of an inch across the area. It will bring a change in airmass with it resulting in more active humid weather. Unsettled weather will be the theme for the long term as moisture returns and sticks around. Beginning Thursday, a surface low will be migrating up along the Georgia/South Carolina coast  bringing rain and thunder chances primarily to our far southeast and east-central counties on Thursday.  Also, the National Hurricane Center maintains a low (10%) chance that this area of low pressure develops into a tropical system in the next 5-7 days. This low is forecast to track up to the North Carolina coast or be more off the Atlantic coast by Friday. Any remanent boundaries that remain may provide support for isolated activity Friday afternoon for our southern counties and widely scattered daytime convention elsewhere.
