Fay is still showing some potential
For the last few days, most storm models have been showing Fay either missing us completely or just giving us a few bands of rain. However, now we’re starting to see some models that show the potential for some substantial rain.
The photo at right shows the potential rainfall for the six hour period starting at 2pm Saturday. Based on that, we could see 3-4 inches in that timeframe, plus some rain before/after the six hour window.
The next few days should start clearing it up either way.

Right now Fay is expected to drop 3-5 inches over Southern Georgia. It wouldn’t take all that much for Fay to push north. Here’s hoping.
8-20 11am EST report on Fay.

Fay has dumped tons of water in FL. Why they can’t build a reservior to relieve some pressure from GA?

I don’t know, but has Atlanta legalized gay marriage?

I have a degree in atmospheric sciences, and I’ve been scouring the weather models. It’s going to be a close call, but we will get SOMETHING from Fay, as it’s being blocked by high pressure to the north, it will slowly drag itself through north Florida and spin around down there and up into Alabama.
We’ll get something from this as her moisture will likely push back up over us and head out towards the Atlantic at some point next week..probably a lot of chances of showers from late Friday through next week. Cross your fingers. We really need this kind of rain.
I’m watching low scud type clouds race from east to west across the sky now - very indicative of a tropical flow come up from the South.

This would be a good time for any official in office to come forward and anounce that Lanier discharges will be halted untill the storm abates. Does anyone on this have the ability to send a message to the press??

I couldn’t have said it better myself (except I would have added BGAAAAAWWKKK at the end).

Well, unless Fay turns north, she looks to be a bust for Atlanta. Although, she may indirectly help out by soaking the lower basin.
My parents have a “lake” in their back yard in Florida - I use quotes because it hasn’t had water in it in years, although it is technically a lake. It’s full now.

and we all blame you (along with the rest of the Atlanta Water Shortage “crew”) for jinxing it
we’d do something nasty to you in return, but you already live in St. Louis

Well, as of Sunday night - we’re FINALLY getting some substantial rain. And the models keep us wet all this week. It’s not the dumping of rain they got in south Georgia, but this is going to help. It’s generally dry this time of year so these tropical systems are much needed.
