A pesky low (not a tropical storm, just a mass of moist air below TS levels) in the western Gulf of Mexico is expected to move towards the east over the next few days, bringing abundant moisture to the southern portions of Alabama and Georgia along with South Carolina and eastern North Carolina. Georgia is expected to be especially hard hit, with rain accumulating to a depth of four inches in many places and a few scattered areas receiving as much as 8 inches. North of the Fall Line, the amount of rain will decrease quickly and Northern Alabama and Georgia along with western North Carolina and Virginia may see no rain at all in the next week. After that we are likely to go back to drier conditions, although if the tropics start to pick up that could change. A shift to a more favorable pattern for the development of tropical storms is expected by mid-September.
