AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
545 AM EST WED DEC 10 2008

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

SHORT TERM IS AWFULLY BUSY. SOUTHERLY FLOW IN FULL FORCE WITH
FRONT APPROACHING. MODELS COMING INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER LOW
THAT WILL CUT OFF OVER THE SOUTHEAST. ECMWF WAS MOVING THIS SYSTEM
OUT A LITTLE FASTER BUT THE NEW 00Z RUN HAS SLOWED IT DOWN. STILL
NOT AS COLD AS THE GFS BUT WITH IT COMING MORE INTO LINE WITH THE
OTHER SHORT-TERM MODELS...CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER ON EVOLUTION OF THE
SYSTEM. MORE ON THAT BELOW. TEMPS TODAY WILL BE TRICKY (YESTERDAY
DIDNT TURN OUT TOO WELL)...MANY AREAS WILL SEE A 12Z HIGH. HAVE
GONE GENERALLY WITH MAV TEMPS WITH ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE DIURNAL
CURVE...AND HOPE THAT ITLL WORK OUT BETTER THAN YESTERDAY.

STRONG LLJ ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH NORTH
GEORGIA NOW. MOMENTUM CAN EASILY BE TRANSFERRED DOWN TO THE
SURFACE UNTIL THE STRONGEST OF THESE WINDS MOVE THROUGH...SO HAVE
EXTENDED THE WIND ADVISORY IN THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH 18Z. IN
ADDITION WITH THE RAINFALL CONCERNS HAVE ISSUED FLASH FLOOD WATCH
FOR TODAY...MORE ON THAT IN THE HYDRO SECTION.

INSTABILITY NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE BUT SBCAPES RANGE FROM NEAR
500 IN CENTRAL GEORGIA TO AROUND 100 (OR JUST UNDER) IN NORTH
GEORGIA...DEPENDING ON WHICH MODEL YOU CHOOSE. THIS COMBINED WITH
THE INCREDIBLE SHEAR...400-600 M2/S2...AND SPC MESOANALYSES
INDICATE POTENTIALLY HIGHER SHEAR VALUES...IT WONT TAKE MUCH CAPE
TO GET THINGS GOING. HAVE INCLUDED THUNDER EVERYWHERE TODAY...
ADJUSTING IT FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH THURSDAY. SWODY2 PUTS
US IN A SLIGHT RISK IN EASTERN ZONES...THIS WOULD BE EARLY IN THE
PERIOD IN THE VICINITY OF THE SURFACE LOW WITH STRONG SOUTHEAST
INFLOW AND THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW TO SHARPLY INCREASE LAPSE
RATES WITH DECREASING TEMPS ALOFT. AM NOT INCLUDING SEVERE WORDING
IN THE GRIDS JUST YET FOR THURSDAY BUT WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED.

OTHER ASPECT WITH APPROACHING UPPER LOW IS LATE THURSDAY INTO
EARLY FRIDAY...TEMPS ALOFT DECREASE RAPIDLY AND WITH THE STRENGTH
OF THE SURFACE LOW WRAPPING MOISTURE AROUND IT...IT DOES LOOK LIKE
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST MAY ACTUALLY GET SNOW. GROUND TEMPS ARE
KIND OF WARM THOUGH SO NOT SURE HOW ALL THIS WILL PLAY OUT.
LOCATION OF THE UPPER LOW PUTS BEST CHANCES OVER MS/AL...BUT AS
THE LOW LIFTS OUT IT DOES GIVE PORTIONS OF NORTH GEORGIA A QUICK
SHOT LATE THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY. BECAUSE WERE IN SUCH WARM
FLOW DUE TO LOCATION OF SURFACE LOW FOR SO LONG ON THURSDAY...
SURFACE TEMPS WONT QUITE HAVE A CHANCE TO COOL THAT MUCH.
HOWEVER...HAVE INCLUDED A RAIN/SNOW MIX AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS MAY GET SOME LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS...WILL WAIT FOR LATER FORECASTS TO NARROW THIS DOWN
AS THESE MODELS HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE THE LAST FEW DAYS.
FOR NOW...NOT ALL THAT EXCITED ABOUT IT BUT FELT IT PRUDENT TO
INCLUDE THE MIX IN THE GRIDS ESPECIALLY GIVEN CONCERNS IN MS/AL.

COOLER ON FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND NORTHERLY FLOW AT
THE SURFACE WITH LARGE UPPER TROUGH ALOFT.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

FLOW RETURNS TO NEAR ZONAL FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED AS
HIGH PRESSURE ZIPS THROUGH AND MOVES OFFSHORE. THE HIGH HAS A HARD
TIME TOTALLY ERODING AND WEDGES AGAINST THE APPALACHIANS...KEEPING
A SLIGHTLY COOLER EASTERLY FETCH OVER PORTIONS OF THE AREA. HOWEVER
WITH RIDGING ALOFT WE DO EVENTUALLY RETURN TO A WARMER PATTERN.
SOME DISAGREEMENT STILL ON A WEAK FRONT THAT MAY AFFECT THE AREA
LATE IN THE EXTENDED...STILL HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY POPS WITH IT AT
THIS TIME.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

COMBINATION OF ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE...WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW...AND STRONG
MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE WIDE OPEN GULF HAVE
LED TO WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF 3-4 ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN
ALABAMA. AS THIS MOVES EAST IT LOSES SOME OF THE MOISTURE SURGE
BUT UPSLOPE FLOW INCREASES AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE
APPALACHIANS. FFG VALUES RANGE FROM 2-3 DEPENDING ON LOCATION
(LOWER FOR THE METRO AREA) AND WITH FLOODING REPORTS OUT OF
ALABAMA...FELT IT PRUDENT TO ISSUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS
OF NORTH GEORGIA TODAY. NOT SURE IF METRO ATLANTA WILL SEE THESE
HIGH AMOUNTS...BUT BEST TO GO AHEAD AND INCLUDE IT FACTORING IN
THE URBAN SETTING. WILL HAVE IT RUN THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
STRONGEST UPSLOPE WINDS MOVE THROUGH...BUT THERE MAY BE ANOTHER
CONCERN FOR THURSDAY. BY THEN...SOILS WILL BE SATURATED AND
SOUTHEAST FLOW AHEAD OF THE SURFACE (AND UPPER) LOW WILL ADD TO
CONCERN FOR THE MOUNTAINS. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE REEVALUATED.

TDP
&&

.AVIATION...
MVFR (OR BETTER) CONDITIONS HOLDING ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA SO FAR
THIS MORNING...BUT SHOULD SEE CONDITIONS DETERIOATE AS BROAD AREA OF
RAIN WITH EMBEDDED LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO PUSH INTO/AND
ACROSS NORTHWEST GEORGIA. ESTIMATE LINE REACHING NORTHERN TAF SITES
13Z-15Z TIME FRAME. LOOK FOR WIDESPREAD IFR CIGS TO BECOME THE RULE
MOST TAF SITES BY 15Z AND PLAN TO SHOW LITTLE IMPROVEMENT THROUGH
MUCH OF REMAINING TAF PERIOD. VSBYS SHOULD VARY BETWEEN IFR TO MVFR
IN RAIN/SCT TSTORMS. WINDS WILL BE A CHALLEDGE...GENERALLY REMAINING
SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THEN SWINGING AROUND
NORTH/NORTHEAST TONIGHT AS WAVE DEVELOPS AND MOVES ALONG THE
BOUNDARY.
