AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
815 PM EST SUN NOV 9 2008

.UPDATE...
LOOKING OVER FCST MIN TEMPS TONIGHT...LOCAL POLICY DICTATES THAT A
FREEZE WARNING/FROST ADVISORY BE ISSUED FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.  THIS
BEING BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT YET HAD A WIDESPREAD FREEZE WITH 27F OR
BELOW AND IT BEING YET BEFORE 11/20...BASICALLY CONSIDERED THE END
OF THE GROWING SEASON ON AVERAGE FOR THE CWA. THUS...AM FORCED TO
ISSUE A FREEZE WARNING FOR THE NE GA MOUNTAINS AND A FROST ADVISORY
FOR ALL OTHER AREAS EXCEPT THE FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES IN THE
CWA...WHERE TEMPS WILL LIKELY REMAIN ABOVE THE GENERAL FROST
FORMATION TEMP OF 36F. THE FREEZE/FROST CONDITIONS WILL REALLY ONLY
AFFECT RURAL AREAS AWAY FROM THE CITIES.  URBAN AREAS...SUCH AS ATL
PROPER...WILL NOT SEE EITHER A FREEZE OR FROST TONIGHT. IT IS
MARGINAL...BUT PREFER TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION.
OTHERWISE...TEMPS/CLOUD COVER APPEAR TO BE ON TRACK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
CURRENT SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS STRATA CU EXTENDING FROM THE GREAT LAKE
STATES TO THE GA/TN/AL BORDER. THIS AREA OF CLOUDS IS ASSOCIATED
WITH A BROAD UPPER TROF THAT IS LIFTING TO THE NE. THESE CLOUDS ARE
TRYING TO MAKE IT ACROSS THE RIDGE BUT WITH DOWNSLOPING NW FLOW THEY
ARE JUST NOT MAKING IT INTO THE STATE. THESE CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO
MOVE NE WITH THE WEAKENING TROF AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EASTWARD OUT
OF THE PLAINS. THIS RIDGE WILL NOT STAY OVER THE AREA LONG AS IT
MOVES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES BY WED MORNING. LOOKS LIKE OUR
NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE TUE/WED AS NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM
MOVES INTO THE AREA OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND LOWER MS VALLEY.
THIS NEXT SYSTEM IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE VERY ORGANIZED AND THERE WILL
BE VERY LITTLE INSTABILITY WITH IT ALSO. THERE IS ALSO A WEDGE THAT
SETS UP DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD TUE NIGHT/WED THAT WILL HELP KEEP
ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY DOWN. HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP ANY MENTION OF
THUNDERSTORMS OUT OF THE SHORTTERM. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL AGAIN DROP
TO NEAR FREEZING ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH AND WEST GEORGIA...MAINLY
NORTH AND WEST OF THE ATLANTA METRO AREA. WILL HOLD OFF ON A FREEZE
WATCH/WARNING AT THIS TIME AS IT WILL BE A CLOSE CALL.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WEDGE BEGINS TO SET UP OVER THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE MAIN
PORTION OF NEXT RAIN PRODUCING SYSTEM MOVES IN.  THE MODELS ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM BUT AS YOU GET OUT PAST DAY 4
THINGS START TO DIVERGE. WITH LITTLE CONSISTENCY IN THE MODEL RUNS
HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A BLEND OF THE CURRENT FORECAST AND THE GFS.
WILL KEEP SHRA ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH SAT WITH ISOLATED TSRA ON
THU.   GFS BRINGS THE NEGATIVELY TILTED SHORT WAVE ACROSS THE GULF
COAST BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH A LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY EARLY FRIDAY. IMPULSES AROUND THIS BROAD LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE RAIN CHANCES...PARTICULARLY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. WITH GOOD MOISTURE RETURN BY WEDNESDAY...CLOUD COVER WILL
KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS ABOVE NORMAL WITH NEAR NORMAL HIGHS.

&&

.AVIATION...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED TO OUR WEST SHOULD KEEP WINDS WEST TO
NORTHWEST THROUGH MONDAY...GOING AROUND TO NORTHEAST AFTER 00Z
TUESDAY AS THE HIGH SLIDES TOWARD THE ATLANTIC. WIND SPEED SHOULD BE
5KT OR LESS OVERNIGHT...INCREASING TO AROUND 10KT AFTER SUNRISE
MONDAY. SKIES SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR WITH AREA OF STRATOCU
REMAINING NEAR THE TN BORDER. NO VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS EXPECTED.
