Just looking over a few weather maps, I see what appears to be a brick wall of rain in Mississippi stretching all the way from the Gulf Coast up into Tennessee.   This would indicate to me some kind of trough or something set up over there.   Now anytime a tropical system has ever gotten near the Georgia coast, a trough, usually a weak one, comes along and turns it north then northeast back to sea.   Now, how is it that Fay is not going to be unaffected by this brick wall and move west in the next few days?   According to some maps I've seen, no one is expecting that trough to move east.   So how is it that that system will not move east to bring us rain, yet Fay is going to move west, unaffected by that system and pass to our south?   Come on guys, you can't have it both ways.   Logic would say that the high to our northeast will turn Fay to the west, but then the trough to the west (that supposedly ain't going anywhere for a week or so) should turn it back north along the western side of the high bringing Fay up just west of Atlanta (rapidly I'm sure as to give us the minimum benefit).   Where is said logic flawed?  Will the trough push it south instead?  If so, then where does it go?  Texas?   Also there is another storm system forming further out in the Atlantic.   How will it be able to not be affected by the high over the Atlantic?   That feature should drive it into the southeast if said high is able to affect Fay so dramatically.   What's the deal?

You weather guys are the so-called "experts".   Fill us in.

 

The absolute and total irrelevance of the so-called "forecasting teams" in the Atlanta area was well demonstrated today.   Where's the two inches of rain we were suppose to get.   Gwinnett County received a "trace".   You've got to be kidding me.   With all the super computers and satellites, you mean no one could see that nothing would happen in our area?  Give me a break!

Weather guys say rain Thursday and none Friday.   Best prepare for a beautiful day tomorrow and thunderstorms on Friday.

Talk about much-to-do-about-nothing!  What a joke.  Heavy Snow Warning??  Give me a break!  Heavy snow is 10 inches, not a dusting.  Surely the Weather Service can do better than this.  Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

 

 

With the big flop that today's forecast turned out to be, would you weather guys please quit prediciting rain?  Fact is it appears we ain't gonna get any until Lake Lanier ceases to exist.  What will derail it next time?  A wedge of cool air?  A punch of dry air in the upper levels?  A high pressure system nobody sees coming?  Or maybe storms on the Gulf Coast robbing the moisture--who's ever heard of such a thing?  Strange that doesn't affect things 400 miles to the north in KENTUCKY.  Do us a favor and quit getting our hopes up.   Just call it Mostly Cloudy and let it ride at that.

 

 

Where's all the heavy rain forecasted over the past two days???  Barely two-tenths of an inch in the guage here in Dacula.  Ten years ago a weather system like this would have rained steady for three days.  What's the deal?  Help, Ken, please explain.
