AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
705 PM EDT TUE OCT 27 2009

.UPDATE...
HAVE CANCELLED THE FLOOD WATCH. WILL MAKE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO
LOWER POPS SOME AS WELL...MORE IN LINE WITH CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. NO
OTHER CHANGES PLANNED AT THIS TIME.

19
&&

.SYNOPSIS...
INTENSE NEGATIVELY TILTED SHORT WAVE QUICKLY LIFTING OUT OF THE
MID-SOUTH IN RESPONSE TO NEXT RAPIDLY DIGGING DEEP UPPER TROUGH IN
THE WESTERN U.S. THE FIRST SYSTEM WILL LIFT NE INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC
AND OUT OF THE SE THIS EVENING. VERY HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND AS DEEP FULL-LATITUDE UPPER TROUGH
SLOWLY PROGRESSES INTO THE CENTRAL U.S...AND A BROAD...HIGH
AMPLITUDE RIDGE DEVELOPS OFF THE EAST COAST. BY THE WEEKEND...THE
CENTRAL U.S. TROUGH WILL LIFT NE...SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT SYSTEM. AS
THE MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A CHANGE TO A LONG-FETCHED...MUCH
DRIER...LESS ACTIVE WNW FLOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE U.S.

19
&&

...PREVIOUS FORECAST DISCUSSION ISSUED AT 630 PM EDT...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
MAIN CONCERN FOR THE SHORT TERM REMAINS FOCUSED ON STRONG NEGATIVELY
TILTED SHORT WAVE ROTATING THROUGH THE CWA AT THIS TIME. MODELS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. AS EXPECTED
YESTERDAY...HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE
LIFTING NE THROUGH THE CWA AT THIS TIME. GENERAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
0.75 TO 1.0 INCH 12Z-18Z...WITH AN ADDITIONAL 1.0-1.5 INCHES
EXPECTED BY 00Z AS THE AXIS OF STRONG PVA/VV AND ASSOCIATED HEAVIER
RAIN...ALONG WITH ISOLD TSRA...LIFTS NE ACROSS THE AREA DURING THIS
TIME FRAME. HEAVIEST RAIN SO FAR HAS BEEN ACROSS N GA. PLAN TO
CANCEL PORTIONS OF THE FLOOD WATCH WEST OF
BLAIRSVILLE...CUMMING...ATLANTA WITH THIS UPDATE...AS RAINFALL IN NW
GA HAS BEEN LESS AND ADDITIONAL RAINFALL THERE WILL BE LESS THAN
0.50 INCH. ELSEWHERE...WILL LET THE WATCH RUN UNTIL 8 PM EDT...THEN
EXPIRE. BAND OF HEAVIER TSRA DEVELOPING ACROSS EASTERN GULF PROGGED
BY ALL MODELS TO AFFECT MAINLY N FL/FAR SE GA THROUGH THE EVENING.
SEVERE THREAT REMAINS MINIMAL AS WEDGE HOLDS STRONG ACROSS N GA.
LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS WEDGE NEAR A EUF-VDI LINE...WITH DEWPOINTS
IN THE 50S NORTH AND 60S SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. DEEPENING SFC LOW
NOTED ACROSS MS/AL...MAY CAUSE WEDGE TO LIFT SLIGHTLY NORTH DURING
THE EVENING. SPC HAS OUTLOOKED S GA FOR SLIGHT RISK...CLIPPING FAR
SOUTHERN PARTS OF TELFAIR AND TOOMBS COUNTIES. HOWEVER...BEST SHEAR
TRACKING ACROSS THE AREA NOW...AND AS INSTABILITY INCREASES TO
MARGINAL LEVELS...SHEAR AND UPPER SHORT WAVE WILL LIFT NE OF THE
AREA. WILL NEED TO WATCH CELLS TRACKING NE ALONG WEDGE BOUNDARY FOR
ROTATION DURING THE NEXT 4-6 HOURS...ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT PRODUCE
CG LIGHTNING. OTHERWISE...FEEL THAT SEVERE THREAT IS MINIMAL AND
VERY ISOLATED. DO NOT PLAN TO INCLUDE ANY THREAT OF TSRA AFTER
00Z...AS BEST UPPER SUPPORT GONE AT THAT POINT. FOR POPS...WILL
CONTINUE WITH LIKELY POPS EASTERN ZONES THROUGH 06Z...AND CHANCE
POPS WEST. CURRENT TRENDS SHOW THAT THESE MAY NEED TO BE REDUCED
FURTHER DURING THE EVENING. PCPN AFTER 06Z WILL BE CONFINED TO
SPOTTY -SHRA AND DRIZZLE...WHICH MAY LINGER IN THE MORNING ACROSS
NC/NE AREAS. HOWEVER...STRONG NVA AND DOWNSLOPING WEST WINDS SHOULD
HELP IN CLEARING THINGS OUT RATHER NICELY BY MID-DAY WED. THE
SYNOPTIC NATURE OF THIS SYSTEM NOT CONDUCIVE TO LINGERING LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE...SUCH AS THE RECENT PAST TWO SYSTEMS. FOR TEMPS...FEEL A
MAV/MET MOS BLEND IN ORDER MOST OF THE SHORT TERM. MET MOS LOOKS A
LITTLE TOO COLD FOR TONIGHT...GIVEN GENERAL LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION
SPREADING NORTHWARD. PREFER WARMER MAV MOS FOR WED WITH INCREASED
SUNSHINE AND DOWNSLOPING WINDS. LITTLE DIFFERENCE AMONG MAV/MET MOS
FOR WED NIGHT LOWS. DISTINCT WARM ADVECTION WING INTO CENTRAL GA
NOTED IN ADVANCE OF DEEPENING SOUTH CENTRAL U.S. SYSTEM. MID-HIGH
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RAPIDLY SPREAD N...KEEPING TEMPS MORE IN LINE
WITH WARMER MET MOS MINS. THIS WARM ADVECTION PATTERN SHOULD BRING A
CHANCE OF SHRA TO MAINLY THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE CWA THU AFTERNOON.
INSTABILITY REMAINS MINIMAL AT THIS POINT...SO WILL NOT INTRODUCE
THUNDER.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE INCREASINGLY HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN THU-SAT RESULTING IN FURTHER
DEEPENING/DEVELOPMENT OF THE DEEP FULL-LATITUDE TROUGH IN THE
CENTRAL U.S. THE STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ALIGNED ALONG THE EAST
COAST WILL SLOW THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THIS SYSTEM.
THUS...GFS/ECMWF IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE MAIN EFFECTS OF THIS
SYSTEM INTO THE SE U.S. WILL BE DELAYED...LIKELY NOT REACHING THE
AREA UNTIL FRI NIGHT OR SAT...ALMOST 24 HOURS SLOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT. LIKE THE CURRENT SYSTEM...ONCE THE SYSTEM REACHES THE
MID-SOUTH REGION...IT WILL QUICKLY TAKE ON A NEGATIVE
TILT...ACCELERATE...AND LIFT RAPIDLY NE AND SHEAR OUT. THE BULK OF
THE PCPN WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE CWA LATE FRI-SAT...EXITING
THE REGION SAT NIGHT/EARLY SUN. QPF AT THIS POINT MOSTLY IN THE 1.0
INCH RANGE...MAINLY ACROSS N GA...WITH WEAKENING DYNAMICS FURTHER
SOUTH. DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY MAJOR FLOOD PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME...BUT
GIVEN TOTALLY SATURATED GROUND FROM TODAYS RAINFALL...WILL NEED TO
WATCH QPF ADVERTISED ON LATER MODELS RUNS. SEVERE THREAT WILL ALSO
NEED TO BE WATCHED. SPC HAS ALREADY OUTLOOKED AREAS IMMEDIATELY TO
THE WEST OF US FOR FRI...AND COULD EASILY SEE THIS TRANSLATING
FURTHER EAST ON THE NEXT UPDATE. HOWEVER...AS NOTED ABOVE...THE
SYSTEM WILL BE RAPIDLY WEAKENING AS IT ROTATES THROUGH OUR AREA.
CURRENT PROGGED INSTABILITY FOR SAT HIGHER THAN WITH CURRENT
SYSTEM...AND WITH WARMER TEMPS AND LITTLE TO NO WEDGE SETUP...THE
SEVERE THREAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE SOMEWHAT HIGHER. WILL DEFINITELY
INCLUDE TSRA...BUT NOT MENTION ANY SEVERE AT THIS TIME. MAX/MIN
TEMPS SHOULD AVERAGE AOA NORMAL THU-FRI WITH THE AREA PRIMARILY
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC UPPER RIDGE.

THE MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT IN ADVERTISING A MUCH DRIER PATTERN FOR
NEXT WEEK WITH A TRANSITION TO A LONG FETCHED DRY WEST-NORTHWEST
FLOW. THE GFS...IN PARTICULAR...SHOWING HIGHER AMPLITUDE SUN-WED OF
NEXT WEEK THAN PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED...WITH A TROUGH DEVELOPING
ALONG THE EAST COAST. THIS WOULD KEEP GA IN DRY NW FLOW...SO WILL
CONTINUE TO NOT ADVERTISE PCPN AFT SAT. ECMWF SHOWING LESS
AMPLIFICATION...BUT STILL HINTING AT A MEAN EASTERN U.S. TROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK. CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES NOTED AMONG THE ECMWF/GFS
BEYOND MID-WEEK NEXT WEEK...WITH THE ECMWF SHOWING A TROPICAL SYSTEM
LIFTING NE ACROSS THE SE U.S...WHILE THE LATEST GFS HOLDS A BROAD
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE AREA. WITH REGARD TO TEMPS...LATEST MEX
GUIDANCE SHOWING BELOW NORMAL TEMPS EARLY NEXT WEEK...IN RESPONSE TO
HIGH AMPLITUDE EAST COAST TROUGH ON LATEST GFS RUNS. GIVEN LESS
AMPLITUDE ADVERTISED BY GFS...WILL COMPROMISE...SHOWING MORE NORMAL
READINGS UNTIL MODELS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT.

19
&&

.AVIATION...
LIFR TO LOW-END IFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT INTO LATE TOMORROW
MORNING. VSBY SHOULD REMAIN IFR BUT MAY ALSO BRIEFLY DROP TO LIFR.
AS SYSTEM MOVES OUT...CIGS WILL BEGIN TO LIFT AND BREAK 15-16Z
WEDNESDAY. SHOULD BE ALL VFR BY 18Z WEDNESDAY AT THE LATEST. EAST
WINDS THIS EVENING WILL SHIFT TO SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT...
06-07Z...WITH WESTERLY WINDS EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE DAY WEDNESDAY.
