Look yo, it ain’t no thing but a Big Chicken wing, but if you’re heading to Georgia, live here, whatever, you might want to keep an eye on the weather for the next week or so-this map is my reason for letting you know. We’ve already had a wonderfully rainy summer-I say ‘wonderfully’ because I moved to Georgia 4 years ago when it was still in the midst of the worst of the last drought-but any tropical activity will make daily showers pale in comparison.

I’m sort of a heavy weather freak too, so I might end up being chicken little. It’s not like a hurricane hitting the coast down there would be a good thing-my parents, one of my sisters and my grandmother live in beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama, and they’d have to come stay with me or something…*shudders*.

That’d mean I have to clean house. Anyway. Stay tuned to the weather website of your choosing. I list a few just for kicks at the end of the entry. My last thought is this, does anyone else find it strange when the storm names kick around to such perky-sounding monikers as “Bonnie” and “Charley”? It’s hard to believe a hurricane named Bonnie is gonna come kick my town’s ass. What about something more solid and imposing-like “Bronwyn” or “Carl”? That’s a good serial killer or hurricane moniker, “Carl.”

I digress. Here’s some weather sites for you to keep checking obsessively;

• The Weather Channel, natch-headquartered right here in downtown ATL!
• The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or simply NOAA.
• A site that is part of NOAA-The National Hurricane Center.
• Accuweather.
• Visualizer.
• Weatherbug.
• Also part of NOAA, but maybe more relevant-National Weather Service.
• Weather Underground.
• Last but not least, most pertinent to the good Atlanta metroblog reader-11Alive’s Weather site.
