NWS Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Nov 16, 2:05 PM EST, 4 hours 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 16, 2:05 PM EST, 4 hours 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
205 PM EST WED NOV 16 2011

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE AT THIS TIME
WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST AND SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
OVERNIGHT. ENTIRE FORECAST AREA SHOULD BE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE
FRONT BEFORE 12Z. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING. LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
WILL CONTINUE TO MARCH EAST. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STRONG SHEAR
HAS RESULTED IN EMBEDDED ROTATING STORMS AND THIS TREND SHOULD
CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. CURRENT WATCHES COVER THE THREAT AREA AND
TIMING WELL.

THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD LOOKS DRY AND SEASONABLY
COOL AS THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW FLATTENS TO NEAR ZONAL AND SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE MIGRATES ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST GRIDS...CURRENT
FORECAST APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK WITH LATEST MEDIUM RANGE MODEL TRENDS.

PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 345 AM EST WED NOV 16 2011/
CENTER OF SURFACE HIGH CENTERED OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY BY
THURSDAY...AND QUICKLY PROPAGATES OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES BY
LATE FRIDAY. NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOOTS ACROSS THE MIDWEST FROM
THE CENTRAL U.S. ON SATURDAY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT BEHIND IT.
MOISTURE AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM COULD BRING RAIN TO NORTH
GEORGIA SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO MONDAY...THOUGH HIGH PRESSURE
MAINTAINING A HOLD OVER THE STATE THROUGH MID WEEK WILL KEEP THE
FRONT FROM PUSHING TOO FAR INTO THE STATE. AS A RESULT...HAVE
GENERALLY KEPT JUST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE LATE EXTENDED PERIODS
FOR NORTH GEORGIA.
