Area forecast discussion, May 24, 3:01 PM EDT, 1 hour 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
301 PM EDT SAT MAY 24 2008

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
CURRENT SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS CU DEVELOPING ACROSS MOST OF THE STATE
WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE STATE. THERE IS
CURRENTLY A LUSTER OF STORMS DEVELOPING JUST EAST OF THE ATL AREA
RIGHT ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THESE STORMS/FRONT WILL CONTINUE
MOVING S AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE GREAT LAKES
REGION. ONLY LOOKING FOR ISLOATED SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AS
THE INSTABILITY INDICES ARE RATHER WEAK AND THE BEST DYNAMICS STAY E
OF THE STATE AS THINGS PROGRESS. BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND
SOME LIGHTNING WITH PEA TO NICKEL SIZE HAIL IS WHAT WE ARE EXPECTING
THROUGH THIS EVENING. ONCE THIS FRONT PUSHES S OF THE CWA THE
BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BEGINS TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN
FOR THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM. THIS RIDGE BUILD SOUTH OUT OF THE
GREAT LAKES REGION TODAY AND CENTERS ITSELF OVER THE ENTIRE EASTERN
SEABOARD SUN. IT WEAKENS SOME MON AS IT MOVES OFF SHORE BUT IT KEEPS
GA PRECIP FREE THROUGH TUE. A SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS
MOVES IN ACROSS THE STATE TONIGHT/SUN SO TEMPS SHOULD BE AROUND
SEASONAL NORMS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN THROUGH TUE/WED AS
ANOTHER DEVELOPING COLD FRONT (WHICH STRETCHES FROM THE NEW ENGLAND
STATES TO THE UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY) BEGINS MOVING SOUTHWARD. THE
MODELS WANT TO SHOW THIS NEXT FRONT PUSHING INTO NW GA BY 12Z WED
BUT THEY ARE ALSO SHOWING THE MAIN ENERGY SOURCE MOVE NE INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION ALONG THE FRONT. IF THIS HAPPENS WE MAY ONLY SEE
ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT WITH LITTLE TO NO SEVERE ACTIVITY.
FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE WITH EARLIER THINKING AND LEAVE LOW CHANCE
POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH OF
THE CWA BY 12Z THU WITH ANOTHER LARGE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDING
SE OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS. TEMPS WILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL
NORMS TUE WITH A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION
WED/THU. ALL IN ALL LOOKS LIKE WE ARE IN A PATTERN OF FRONTAL SYSTEM
MOVING INTO OUR AREA EVERY 3-4 DAYS WITH STRONG RIDGES IN BETWEEN.
