AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
530 AM EST FRI DEC 18 2009

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

SURFACE LOW THATS CAUSING ALL THE CURRENT RUCKUS IS GEARING UP IN
THE GULF...SPREADING RAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. 1030MB HIGH STILL
IN PLACE OVER NEW ENGLAND AND THE CLASSICAL CAD SETUP WITH
NORTHEAST SURFACE FLOW IS PROVIDING A SOURCE OF COOL DRY AIR TO
THE REGION. DEWPOINTS STILL HOVERING IN THE UPPER 20S/LOW 30S
NORTH...BUT THE COLUMN HAS SATURATED IN CENTRAL GEORGIA WITH TEMPS
AND DEWPOINTS IN THE 40S. DO NOT EXPECT MUCH DIURNAL RANGE AT ALL
TODAY IN AREAS WHERE ITS ALREADY RAINING. CONTINUED EVAPORATIONAL
COOLING WILL LIKELY BE A FACTOR IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA...WHERE TEMPS
MAY STILL BE ABLE TO DROP A FEW DEGREES. MET IS GENERALLY COOLER
THAN THE MAV...AND THE NAM SEEMS TO BE HANDLING THE SURFACE LOW
JUST A TAD BETTER...SO LEANED TOWARD MET TEMPS BUT STILL TOOK A
BLEND BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS. MAY NEED TO SEND OUT AN UPDATE
BEFORE THE SHIFT IS OVER TO REFINE THE TEMPS. SEE BELOW FOR MORE
ON THE FLOODING CONCERNS.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL ALLOW WINDS TO INCREASE TODAY. WHILE
BREEZY...WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN ON THE LOW SIDE OF THE
ADVISORY CRITERIA. HOWEVER...WITH THE SATURATED SOILS (BECOMING
EVEN MORE SATURATED) INEVITABLY SOME TREES WILL FALL SO FEEL IT
BEST TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY.

FOR THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...THE LOW DEEPENS OFF THE SOUTH
CAROLINA COAST. WRAPAROUND PRECIP...ENHANCED BY THE UPPER
TROUGH...WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. COOLER TEMPERATURES
WILL BEGIN NOSING IN FROM THE WEST AS WELL AND EXPECT RAIN TO
CHANGE OVER TO A RAIN/SNOW MIX AND...FOR THE COLDEST AREAS IN THE
HIGH ELEVATIONS...EVENTUALLY TO ALL SNOW. NO ACCUMULATION
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. BUFR SOUNDINGS DO INDICATE THE POSSIBILITY
OF A LITTLE SLEET MIXED IN THERE WITH THE WARM NOSE ALOFT...BUT
THINK ANY SLEET WILL BE SHORT-LIVED. THOUGH THE LOW WILL MOVE
QUICKLY NORTHEAST DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY...MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE OVER EXTREME NORTH GEORGIA. ELEVATED WEAK (VERY WEAK)
INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH OROGRAPHIC LIFT MAY BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE
SNOW SHOWERS SATURDAY NIGHT.

THE SYSTEM FINALLY BEGINS TO MOVE OUT DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY...
THOUGH CLOUDS WILL PROBABLY LINGER THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF THE
DAY. EXPECT CONTINUED COOL TEMPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

THE EXTENDED STARTS OUT EASY ENOUGH...WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE
AT THE SURFACE AND NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. ENOUGH MOISTURE AND PVA
WILL RIDE DOWN THE FLOW TO INCREASE CLOUD COVER INTERMITTENTLY...
ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. TEMPERATURES MAY EVEN CREEP BACK TO
NEAR NORMAL LEVELS. THE BIG QUESTION...AND GREATER UNCERTAINTY...
COMES IN BEGINNING WEDNESDAY. THE 00Z RUNS OF BOTH THE GFS AND THE
ECMWF HAVE SHIFTED FAIRLY DRAMATICALLY FROM THE 12Z RUNS. THE
LATTER HAD ANOTHER LOW CROSSING THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY...
PERHAPS JUST TO OUR NORTH. THE LATEST RUNS SLIDE THE LOW UP TOWARD
THE GREAT LAKES. IF THESE LATEST RUNS HOLD TRUE...THEN WE MIGHT
SEE A WARMUP TOWARD MIDWEEK AND PROBABLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS WHEN
THE COLD FRONT PASSES. A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK WOULD MEAN COOLER
TEMPS AND LESS INSTABILITY. AM NOT READY TO COME FULLY IN LINE
WITH THE LATEST GFS/ECMWF...ESPECIALLY WHEN ENSEMBLES POINT TO A
PLETHORA OF SOLUTIONS...SO INCREASED TEMPS ONLY SLIGHTLY.
CONFIDENCE EXTREMELY LOW THIS FAR OUT...BUT HAVE CONTINUED THE
POSSIBILITY OF A RAIN/SNOW MIX...MAINLY NORTH BASED ON THE
SLIGHTLY INCREASED TEMPERATURES.

.HYDROLOGY...

SHIELD OF HEAVY RAIN SPREADING ACROSS MISSISSIPPI AND INTO ALABAMA
THIS MORNING...WHERE SOME LOCATIONS HAVE RECEIVED UPWARDS OF 5
INCHES. EXPECT WIDESPREAD 1-3 ACROSS OUR AREA...AND WITH THE
TRACK OF THE LOW EXPECT THE SWATH OF HEAVIEST RAIN TO BE ROUGHLY
OVER THE I-85 CORRIDOR. HAVE EXPANDED THE FLOOD WATCH TO INCLUDE
THE ENTIRE AREA...THOUGH NOT CERTAIN THAT PORTIONS OF EXTREME
NORTH GEORGIA WILL RECEIVE ENOUGH RAIN TO QUITE WARRANT IT.
HOWEVER...WITH THE WET FALL WEVE HAD...ITS PROBABLY BETTER TO
HAVE IT OUT.

TDP

.AVIATION...
LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING NEAR MOBILE THIS MORNING WILL MOVE ALONG THE
GULF COAST TODAY. RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTHWARD INTO
GEORGIA WITH CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY LOWERING TO IFR AFTER 14Z. SOME
GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT IN CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY AFTER 04Z SATURDAY AS
WINDS BECOME MORE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE LOW. WINDS EAST 10 TO 20KT
AND GUSTY TODAY BECOMING NORTH TO NORTHWEST 10 TO 15KT AFTER 00Z
SATURDAY.
