Area forecast discussion, Dec 19, 5:11 AM EST, 3 hours 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
511 AM EST SAT DEC 19 2009

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

STRONG SURFACE LOW CONTINUES MOVING NORTHEAST ALONG THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. LOW- TO MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY NORTH GEORGIA...TODAY AS THE STRONG UPPER TROUGH
PASSES THROUGH. NORTHERLY FLOW FROM CENTRAL PLAINS HIGH PRESSURE
COMBINED WITH THE DEEP TROUGH WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES COOL TODAY
INTO TOMORROW...AND WITH THE MOISTURE AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT IN THE
NORTH WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A RAIN/SNOW MIX ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.
MAY SEE A CHANGEOVER TO ALL SNOW OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...BUT DO NOT
EXPECT MUCH IF ANY IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATIONS...A DUSTING AT BEST.

TROUGH PUSHES TO THE EAST BY MONDAY LEAVING US IN NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT...UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF. THIS WILL ALLOW MODEST TEMPERATURE RECOVERY...
CLOSER TO NORMAL LEVELS. HAVE GENERALLY LEANED ON THE COOL SIDE OF
GUIDANCE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS MODELS HAVE BEEN TOO WARM FOR
THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

NEAR ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED WILL
TRANSITION TO WEAK RIDGING ALOFT AHEAD OF THE NEXT STRONG SYSTEM
THAT WILL IMPACT THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE COUNTRY THROUGH THE
WEEK. COOL HIGH PRESSURE COMING OUT OF CANADA AND SLIDING DOWN THE
UPPER CONFLUENCE ZONE WILL MERGE WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED GULF
HIGH. CLASSICAL CAD SETUP INDICATED EARLIER ON THE ECMWF THAN THE
GFS...BUT STILL DECENT AGREEMENT IN THE COOL NORTHEASTERLY FLOW.
ECMWF...HOWEVER...IS SLOWER WITH THE SYSTEM STRENGTHENING OFF THE
ROCKIES ON WEDNESDAY. POPS MAY ARRIVE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...LEFT
IT AT CHANCE WEST AT BEST FOR NOW DUE TO THE INCREASED UNCERTAINTY
WITH THE SLOWER ECMWF. BY THURSDAY 12Z THE GFS HAS THE LOW OVER
NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI...AND THE UPPER LOW OVER CENTRAL ARKANSAS.
ECMWF IS IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA WITH THE SURFACE LOW AND SOUTHWEST
OKLAHOMA WITH THE UPPER LOW. THESE DIFFERENCES COULD HAVE A BIG
IMPACT ON TEMPERATURES...WITH THE GFS ON THE COOLER SIDE. NOTE
THAT YESTERDAYS 00Z RUN OF THE GFS WAS FURTHER NORTH WITH THE
SYSTEM...AND TODAYS 00Z RUN RETURNS TO A SIMILAR SOLUTION AS WAS
SUGGESTED TWO DAYS AGO BY THE GFS. GFS ENSEMBLE STANDARD
DEVIATIONS REMAIN VERY HIGH. HAVE TRIED TO MUTE THE TEMPERATURE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE RUNS DUE TO THESE FLIP-FLOPS. CONFIDENCE
VERY LOW IN DETAILS...BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE WERE IN FOR ANOTHER
GOOD RAIN EVENT. THE GFS SOLUTION WOULD INDICATE A RAIN/SNOW MIX
OVER NORTH GEORGIA CHRISTMAS MORNING (ECMWF HAS THE PRECIP SHIELD
FURTHER NORTH). UNTIL THERE IS BETTER AGREEMENT IN THE
MODELS...SEE NO REASON TO ALTER THE EXTENDED FORECAST MUCH FROM
WHAT WAS ALREADY OUT...THOUGH THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS
THE AREA HAS WARRANTED LIKELY POPS IN SOME AREAS. STILL NOT SURE
ABOUT ANY THUNDER POTENTIAL...IF IT HAPPENS IT LOOKS LIKE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WOULD BE THE BEST TIME FRAME...BUT HAVE
STILL NOT INCLUDED ANY AT THIS TIME.

.AVIATION...
IFR CIGS HAVING A HARD TIME STAYING TOGETHER WITH THE DOWNSLOPING
FLOW AND WILL START ALL AREAS MVFR CIGS. WITH WINDS NORTHWEST/WEST
AROUND 5 TO 10 KTS FOG HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT AND THIS WILL KEEP
MVFR CIGS 1500 THIS MORNING...BECOMING 2500 THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BE A BIT GUSTY WITH WINDS AT 975 AND 925 20 TO
25 KTS. SHOULD SEE SLIGHTLY WEAKER WINDS TONIGHT.
