Area forecast discussion, Aug 8, 3:05 PM EDT, 12 hours 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
305 PM EDT WED AUG 8 2007

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SURFACE TROUGH OVER CENTRAL GA WILL CAUSE ONLY ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE EVENING. OTHERWISE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT
CONTINUES OVER THE SOUTHERN STATES THROUGH THURSDAY...BUT DRIFTING
WEST OF AREA. THIS WILL CONTINUE THE HOT WEATHER WITH ONLY ISOLATED
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA.

A WEAK COLD FRONT OR SURFACE TROUGH MOVES OVER THE AREA FRIDAY. THIS
WILL GIVE SOME POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
CWA. HOW MUCH POTENTIAL WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOUT THE SAME OR SLIGHTLY COOLER FOR PARTS OF
N GA.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPPER RIDGE WILL HAVE MOVED WEST OF AREA BY SATURDAY. A WEAK FRONT
OR TROUGH ACROSS CENTRAL GA SHOULD HELP SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A RELATIVELY DRY AIRMASS IN
PLACE FOR SUNDAY WITH SOME RAIN POTENTIAL FOR CENTRAL GA. THE SAME
LOOKS TO HOLD TRUE FOR MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH
FOR SHORT WAVE ACTIVITY THAT COULD AFFECT THE AREA IN THE NNW FLOW
ALOFT.

&&

AVIATION...
LITTLE HAS CHANGED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS WITH AVIATION.
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT CONTINUES TO LEAD TO HAZY CONDITIONS WITH
WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION...MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A WEAK
PRESSURE TROUGH...WHICH IS A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH TODAY...BRINGING
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY A LITTLE CLOSER TO ATL AND AHN AIR SPACES.
STORMS SHOULD BE DONE BY 01Z SO ANY MENTION OF VCSH/VCTS TONIGHT
WILL GO UNTIL THEN. WILL LIKELY SEE WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS
AT ALL SITES NEAR SUNRISE...ALTHOUGH TODAY HAS SEEN IMPROVED VSBYS
WITH THE HAZE SO WILL DELAY THE LOWER VSBYS UNTIL ABOUT 09 OR 10Z AT
MOST LOCATIONS THURSDAY MORNING.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE DOES NOT START RETROGRADING BACK TO THE WEST UNTIL
AFTER THIS FORECAST PERIOD...SO EXPECT MOST OF THE CONVECTION TO
STAY SOUTH OF THE ATL AND AHN AREAS TOMORROW AFTERNOON...NEAR THE
SURFACE TROUGH WHICH WILL AGAIN FIND ITSELF DRAPPED ACROSS CENTRAL
GEORGIA. WILL MENTION VCTS AT MCN AND CSG ONLY. WINDS WILL AGAIN GO
CALM OVERNIGHT AND PICK UP INTO THE 5 TO 10 KT RANGE OUT OF THE WEST
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
