AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
419 PM EST FRI MAR 5 2010

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
A DEEP LAYER RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST TO THE
MISSISSIPPI DELTA WILL CONTINUE DRIFTING SOUTHEAST OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS...WITH THE LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS PASSING OVER GEORGIA
SUNDAY NIGHT. THE COOL AND DRY AIRMASS CURRENTLY IN PLACE ACROSS OUR
REGION WILL GRADUALLY MODERATE THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH
TEMPERATURES NEARING CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS BY SUNDAY. THE ONLY
WEATHER CONCERNS WILL BE FOR FIRE WEATHER INTERESTS AS RED FLAG
WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING AND AGAIN FOR
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE CONTINUED DRY AIRMASS NECESSITATES A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH FOR SUNDAY AS WELL.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WARM THROUGH MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS THE DOMINANT INFLUENCE LOCALLY AND WINDS TURN OUT OF THE
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SURFACE HIGH. THE UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL SLIDE EAST OF GEORGIA BY TUESDAY...ALLOWING
INCREASING MID/HIGH CLOUDS TO ARRIVE IN ADVANCE OF A DEVELOPING
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. GLOBAL MODELS REMAIN
REASONABLY CONSISTENT IN THEIR DEPICTION OF A STRENGTHENING UPPER
LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW OVER THE TX PANHANDLE/OK/KS MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. A LEAD SHORTWAVE AND INITIAL SURGE OF LOW
LEVEL WARM ADVECTION BRING THE FIRST POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS INTO
OUR AREA ON TUESDAY. A BROAD AREA OF WARM/MOIST ADVECTION ACROSS THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES DURING MID-WEEK AHEAD OF THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEM WILL DRAW GULF MOISTURE AND A WARM FRONT NORTHWARD THROUGH
THE REGION BY THURSDAY. ANOTHER TROUGH ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE
UPPER LOW OVER TEXAS ON THURSDAY IS LOOKING INCREASINGLY LIKELY TO
RESULT IN DEEP CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE COME INTO AGREEMENT
ON THE POSITION OF THIS SURFACE LOW...THOUGH TRENDING FURTHER AND
FURTHER SOUTHEAST WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE RUN. THUNDER POTENTIAL APPEARS
TO BE INCREASING AS MODELS YIELD MLCAPE OF 500-1200 J/KG ACROSS OUR
FORECAST AREA IN A HIGHLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. WILL HOLD OFF ON
GETTING TOO EXCITED ABOUT SEVERE POTENTIAL UNTIL MODELS START TO
HOLD STEADY ON THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW. SHOWERS LIKELY
LINGERING INTO AT LEAST FRIDAY.
