AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
400 PM EDT SAT MAR 15 2008

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
HAVE HAD SVR WX ALL AFTERNOON SO WILL MAKE THIS SHORT. SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ALONG THE AL/GA STATE LINE WEST OF CARROLLTON
CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY DEEPEN AS IT MOVES EAST TO NORTHEAST. SPC
HAS PUT MOST OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GA IN A MODERATE TO HIGH RISK
OF SEVERE WX FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
18Z FFC SOUNDING SHOWS STRONG SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WITH HELICITY VALUES
OF 536 M2/S2 AND INSTABILITY WITH CAPES VALUES OF NEAR 800 J/KG AND
LIFTED INDICES OF -5 TO -6 TO SUPPORT SUPERCELLS. NUMEROUS REPORTS
OF LARGE HAIL UP TO GOLFBALL SIZE WITH SEVERAL TORNADOES HAVE
ALREADY OCCURRED AND CAN BE EXPECTED. THE ATLANTA METRO AREA IS
UNDER THE GUN RIGHT NOW.

OTHERWISE...THE LOW WILL MOVE EAST TO NORTHEAST OVER NORTH GA
THIS EVENING AND INTO THE WESTERN CAROLINAS TONIGHT ENDING THE
SVR WX THREAT. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE STATE
SUNDAY AND CONTINUE INTO MONDAY WITH FAIR AND SEASONAL WEATHER.
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO MOS GUIDANCE DUE TO THE EXTREME
CIRCUMSTANCES TODAY.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
UPPER LOW PROGGED BY GFS AND ECMWF TO MOVE INTO THE SRN PLAINS
TUES AND MS VALLEY WED...HOWEVER GFS KEEPS SYSTEM MUCH MORE
INTENSE THAN ECMWF. SHOULD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF TSRA ON WED SO

THIS SYSTEM...LETS HOPE IT STAYS THAT WAY.
