AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA...UPDATED
525 AM EDT SUN MAR 29 2009

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CURRENT SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH GA WITH
LARGE MOISTURE PLUME OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT MOVING OFF THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. SATELLITE ALSO SHOWS LOW CENTER WRAPPED UP ALONG THE IL/IN
BORDER AND CONTINUING TO MOVE NE INTO THE OH VALLEY/GREAT LAKES
REGION. THIS FRONT WILL CONTINUE MOVING EAST THROUGH THE AREA THIS
MORNING AND SHOULD EXIT THE STATE AROUND DAY BREAK. EXTREME N GA MAY
SEE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS TODAY FROM THE WRAP AROUND BACKSIDE MOISTURE
FROM THE MAIN LOW CENTER SO HAVE INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE
BEGINNING LATE MORNING AND ENDING LATE AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE WESTERN GULF COAST BUILDS NE TODAY AND BECOMES CENTERED OVER GA
BY 12Z MON. THIS RIDGE WILL KEEP THE STATE PRECIPITATION FREE
THROUGH MON NIGHT EXCLUDING EXTREME N GA TODAY. BIGGEST CONCERN
TODAY WILL BE GUSTY WINDS BEHIND THIS EXITING FRONTAL SYSTEM.  WITH
THE VERY SATURATED GROUND FROM RAIN THE PAST 3 DAYS...IT WILL NOT
TAKE VERY STRONG WINDS TO BRING SOME TREES DOWN. HAVE DECIDED TO
CONTINUED THE WIND ADVISORY EVEN THOUGH WINDS MAY NOT REACH CRITERIA
TODAY.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BEGINNING MONDAY A CLOSED LOW CENTER BEGINS DEVELOPING OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS AND MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH TUE. MOISTURE FROM
THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM BEGINS PUSHING INTO WESTERN GA TUESDAY AFTERNOON
WITH THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH LATE TUESDAY/EARLY WEDNESDAY. GFS AND
ECMWF ARE IN PRETTY CLOSE AGREEMENT WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM WITH JUST
A LITTLE DIFFERENCE ON POSITION AND INTENSITY. HAVE DECIDED TO GO
WITH THE GFS AS IT HAS BEEN THE BETTER MODEL LATELY SO JUST STICKING
WITH PERSISTENCE FOR NOW. BOTH MODELS ALSO AGREE ON THE TIMING OF
THE THIRD SYSTEM WHICH MOVES EAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THU AND
INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES FRI. BOTH SYSTEMS SHOULD BRING MORE
PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH CLOSELY AS RIGHT
NOW NEITHER OF THE TWO LOOK TO BE SEVERE WEATHER MAKERS. JUST GOING
WITH SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION...
COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED THRU MOST OF CENTRAL GA THIS MORNING. RAPID
CLEARING OF STRATOCU HAS TAKEN PLACE BEHIND THE FRONT. HOWEVER...
WRAP AROUND MOISTURE ALREADY INTO NORTHWEST GA. CEILINGS FROM 3 TO
4THSD FT SHOULD SPREAD FROM NORTH GA INTO MUCH OF CENTRAL GA THROUGH
THE MORNING. CLOUDS SHOULD BEGIN TO BREAK UP THIS AFTERNOON.
NO VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS EXPECTED. WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS HAVE
INCREASED AND WILL CONTINUE TO RANGE FROM 10 TO 20KT WITH HIGHER
GUSTS...DIMINISHING AROUND 23Z.
