Is Fay headed our way?

The projected path cone for Tropical Storm Fay now covers half of the southern part of the state (GA):

Too early to tell, but it sure would be a nice way to end the summer if we’re lucky enough to get a significant amount of rain from it. Since the beginning of the month of August, the lake level has been in virtual free fall:

If this trend continues, a lot of folks will have to trailer their boats before Labor Day. Hey beats last year when many docks were dry before the end of July. Fay, please come our way and stay & play for a few days!

UPDATE: things are looking somewhat more favorable w/ Fay:

National Weather Service meteorologist Doug Outlaw said it was not clear whether the storm would track north to the Carolinas or veer west over Tennessee. A high pressure system was expected to stall it over Florida and Georgia this week.

Fay strengthens as it moves inland

* note the risk cone has drifted west (more towards GA) than the first cone image in this post. If Fay heads due north at a slow pace, non-deep water dock owners will hopefully get a few more dock weeks out of summer. Line-drive to the shortstop Ms. Fay…
