Detailed Forecast Discussion
Surface front will stall over north GA as NAM and GFS hint a surface wave will develope to our SW and begin to move along the front late Tuesday into Weds, with sct convection possible. An upper level tough will try to swing across SE bringing in cooler temps aloft with NW flow, but look for enough instability and southerly component thanks to short wave trough to keep ozone and PM2.5 well into good range for Tuesday. Behind front a large Canadian High builds to the north which could set up north GA for a nice CAD event by end of week. BBM
