AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
815 PM EST THU FEB 5 2009

.UPDATE...
PLANNING NO CHANGES FOR THE REST OF THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A LARGE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN U.S. WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE NEXT
FEW DAYS REACHING THE SOUTHEAST GA COAST AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN LATE SUNDAY. THE HIGH WILL BE DIRECTLY
OVER GEORGIA TONIGHT WITH CLEAR SKIES...LIGHT WINDS...AND LOW
DEWPOINTS ALLOWING OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL COOLING TONIGHT. WARM
ADVECTION COMMENCING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WILL WARM H8 TEMPS FROM
BELOW 0C TO AROUND 6C BY SATURDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE LONGWAVE PATTERN THROUGH SUNDAY IS COMPRISED INITIALLY OF A
DIGGING WESTERN CONUS TROUGH AND BUILDING EASTERN RIDGE...WITH THE
CURRENT SURFACE HIGH REMAINING THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE
LOCALLY THROUGH THAT TIME. THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS SLIDES EAST OF OUR
LONGITUDE BRINGING SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE SOUTHEAST AS A
SERIES OF WEAK SHORTWAVE RIPPLE THROUGH THE FAST FLOW BY MONDAY.
CONCURRENTLY...A STRONG 1035 MB SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE
NORTHEASTERN AND MID-ATLANTIC STATES WITH BROAD WARM ADVECTION
BETWEEN THIS AND A DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE PLAINS.
THE 12Z GFS IS HINTING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR A WEDGE TO BRIEFLY
DEVELOP MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS THE HIGH NOSES DOWN THE LEE OF THE
APPALACHIANS...WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT
SHOWERS...DRIZZLE...AND LOW CLOUDS MONDAY NIGHT. THE ECMWF DOES
NOT SEEM TO SUGGEST THIS...ALTHOUGH THAT MODEL DOES SEEM TO
STRUGGLE MORE AT RESOLVING SUCH FEATURES.

WARM ADVECTION INCREASES AHEAD OF ANOTHER SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING
OVER OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS ON WEDNESDAY...AND TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE GFS DOES SUGGEST A 70
KT SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET PASSING THROUGH THE AREA PRIOR TO FROPA
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. GIVEN LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THIS ONE
MODEL SOLUTION...WHICH IS NOT BACKED UP BY OTHER GLOBAL
MODELS...WILL ONLY GO WITH CHANCE POPS FOR NOW WITH THIS MID/LATE
WEEK SYSTEM.

.FIRE WEATHER...
WITH FUEL MOISTURE NEAR OR BELOW 10 PERCENT ACROSS NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND RELATIVE HUMIDITIES FORECAST TO BE WELL
BELOW 25 PERCENT AREA-WIDE ON FRIDAY...A RED FLAG WARNING WAS
ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE AREA FOR FRIDAY. MOISTURE LEVELS WILL RISE
SLIGHTLY ON SATURDAY THOUGH REMAINING NEAR WARNING CRITERIA...WITH
MOISTURE INCREASING MORE BY SUNDAY.

.AVIATION...
NO AVIATIONS CONCERNS WITH THE UPCOMING 00Z PACKAGE. MAINLY A WIND
FORECAST AS HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE STATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING MEANDERS EASTWARD TONIGHT...RESULTING IN A

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA
LATE THROUGH THIS EVENING.

.SYNOPSIS...
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE SOUTHEAST TODAY WITH
DIMINISHING WINDS.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARD WILL BE DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS DUE
TO LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AND LOW FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS.
ALSO...STRONG WINDS THIS MORNING WILL KEEP WIND CHILL VALUES BELOW
ZERO IN THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS.

.DISCUSSION...
VERY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED LATER THIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY
EVENING. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL FALL 20 PERCENT OR LESS. THE DRY AIR
AND LOW FUEL MOISTURE VALUES WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE DANGEROUS
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION...WINDS COMBINED WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS THIS MORNING WILL GIVE DANGEROUS WIND
CHILL VALUES TO THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS. THE WINDS WILL SUBSIDE
SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.
