AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
620 PM EDT THU APR 23 2009

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
PRIMARY CONCERN IN SHORT TERM PERIOD IS CHC FOR DEEP CONVECTION
...POSSIBLY SEVERE...THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RADAR AND
SATELLITE TRENDS INDICATE STRONG TSRA CURRENTLY OCCURRING OVER
MIDDLE TN SE OF NASHVILLE. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD DEVELOP FURTHER
SOUTH ALONG NW- SE ORIENTED BAND OF WARM/MOIST ADVECTION AND
INERTIAL INSTABILITY. MLCAPE CURRENTLY UP TO 2200 J/KG IN NORTH GA
BUT VERTICAL WIND SHEAR IS SOMEWHAT WEAK...WITH 0-1KM BULK SHEAR
AROUND 10KTS AND 0-6KM SHEAR AROUND 30KTS. EXPECT TO SEE ISOLD
COVERAGE OF TSRA...SOME POSS SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY
THREAT DEVELOP INTO NORTH GA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS MATCHES RECENT
SPC MCD AS WELL. CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE RAPIDLY AFTER MIDNIGHT
AS INFLUENCE OF OH VALLEY SHORTWAVE AND FLOW ALOFT WEAKEN.

PATTERN NOT TOO MUCH DIFFERENT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AFTERNOON
EXCEPT THAT LARGE SCALE FORCING AND VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL
BECOME NEGLIGIBLE AS UPPER HIGH BUILDS INTO AREA. COULD SEE AN
ISOLD PULSE TSTM IN FAR ERN OR NE GA FRI OR SAT AFTERNOON BUT NOT
MUCH ELSE.

TEMPS WILL BECOME A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL BUT NOWHERE NEAR DAILY
RECORDS. USED BIAS-ADJUSTED MAV/MET BLEND FOR MOST TEMPS.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NO MAJOR CHANGES TO MODEL PROGS FROM PREVIOUS RUNS DURING THIS
PERIOD. BASED ON 12Z GFS/12Z ECMWF/00Z GFS ENSEMBLE...STILL
APPEARS THAT UPPER RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH
MONDAY BEFORE LARGE/BROAD POSITIVELY TILTED LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER
THE WESTERN U.S. SLOWLY PROGRESSES EAST. INDIVIDUAL SHORT WAVES
SHOULD REMAIN TO OUR WEST IN THIS PATTERN...BUT COULD SEE
ISOLD/SCT SHRA/TSRA PARTICULARLY IN NW GA. GOING FCST LOOKS PRETTY
CLOSE TO THIS GIVEN ABOVE SO NO CHANGES.

.AVIATION...
