What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at May 14, 1:59 PM EDT, 1 hour 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 14, 1:59 PM EDT, 1 hour 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
159 PM EDT SAT MAY 14 2011

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1103 AM EDT SAT MAY 14 2011/

UPDATE...
COLD FRONT CURRENT OVER EASTERN ALABAMA WILL CONTINUE MOVING EAST
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LATEST SOUNDINGS IN FFC AND BMX INDICATE A
VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE JUST OFF THE SURFACE AND EVEN WITH SOME
SURFACE HEATING TO REACH THE TOP OF THE CAP...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL
BE TOO DRY TO PRODUCE ANY PRECIP AND WILL THEREFORE REMOVE PRECIP
FROM THE AFTERNOON FROM ATL-SUMTER AND WESTWARD. EXTREME NORTH
GA REMAINS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE UPPER ENERGY AND MOISTURE WHERE A
20/30 POPS WILL BE NEEDED FOR THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION OVER
SOUTH GA ABSORBING MOST OF THE ENERGY FROM THE SYSTEM AND IT
APPEARS THE RISK OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS OVER THE EASTERN PART
OF THE CWA HAS DIMINISHED. WILL LEAVE A 30/40 POP FOR THUNDER OVER
EASTERN GEORGIA FOR THIS AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT.

17

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 731 AM EDT SAT MAY 14 2011/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
/ISSUED 0237 AM EDT SAT MAY 14 2011/

LATEST MSAS ANALYSIS SHOWS SEVERAL TROUGHS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
STATES...THE CLOSEST BEING ALONG EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE STATE. A
MORE PRONOUNCED TROUGH HOWEVER WAS LOCATED ALONG THE ALABAMA AND
MISSISSIPPI BORDER AND EXTENDED THROUGH THE NORTHERN GULF COAST.
ALONG THIS FEATURE...AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS
ONGOING...AIDED BY THE PRESENCE OF INCREASING DIFFLUENCE ALOFT
WITH THE APPROACH OF UPPER LOW INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
CURRENT INSTABILITY PARAMETERS SUGGEST A NARROW AXIS EXISTS FROM
THE GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH SOUTHERN ALABAMA TO SUPPORT
AFOREMENTIONED CONVECTION WITH CONSIDERABLY LOWER VALUES OVER THE
FORECAST AREA. THEREFORE EXPECT SOME WEAKENING AS IT PROGRESSES
EAST...ALTHOUGH SOME INSTABILITY WILL ADVECT NORTH AND EAST THROUGH
DAYBREAK ALLOWING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A STRONG STORM OR TWO.

ANTICIPATING THE FOCUS SHIFTING TO THE EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA LATER TODAY AS PREFRONTAL TROUGH AND DIFFLUENT ZONE
ALOFT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INCREASING INSTABILITY WITH DAYTIME
HEATING TO PRODUCE LIKELY THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. WILL BE CONTENDING
WITH EARLY ONSET OF CONVECTION AND EXTENSIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS AHEAD
OF ACTIVITY BUT MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST IF SOUTHEAST SECTIONS CAN
REACH THE MID 80S...INSTABILITY WOULD INCREASE TO OVER 3000 J/KG.
EVEN WITH MORE MODEST 2000-2500 J/KG...WOULD ANTICIPATE SOME
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS
AND LARGE HAIL THE MAIN CONCERNS. AS FOR ATLANTA METRO AND POINTS
NORTHWARD...WILL STILL HAVE THE ACTUAL FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH AND
ANY CLEARING DURING THE MORNING WOULD RESULT IN MORE INSTABILITY
THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST BY MODELS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCT
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS BUT STILL NO SEVERE
STORMS ARE EXPECTED.

ACTIVITY SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT AS UPPER LOW BECOMES
ENTRENCHED OVER THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS. DIFFICULT TO KNOW
HOW THIS UPPER LOW WILL SPECIFICALLY INFLUENCE THE AREA WX AS
SURFACE INSTABILITY WITH THIS FEATURE IS MODEST AT BEST. CONTRAST
THIS WITH THE FACT THAT INSTABILITY ALOFT IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE DUE
TO -15C TEMPS AT 500MB OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS. GIVEN A LACK OF
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE INITIALLY...FEEL IT WILL BE MORE OF A SCT SHRA
EVENT SUNDAY. ENHANCED DYNAMIC LIFT POSSIBLE MONDAY AND GIVEN
INCREASED MOISTURE...MAY NEED HIGHER POPS THAN CURRENTLY
ADVERTISED BUT WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW SUNDAY EVENT PLAYS OUT BEFORE
GOING TOO HIGH.

REGARDLESS OF POP DISTRIBUTION...WILL BE MUCH COOLER WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH HIGH TEMPS PUSHING CLOSE TO 20 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL PER THE MAV BY MONDAY. HARD TO BITE OFF ON SUCH
DEPARTURES...BUT GIVEN LIKELY CLOUD COVER TO BE IN PLACE WITH
UPPER LOW...WILL NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM GUIDANCE AT THIS POINT.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
/ISSUED 0237 AM EDT SAT MAY 14 2011/
EVEN COLDER TEMPS ALOFT FOR TUESDAY WITH 500 TEMPS PUSHING
-20C...LEADING TO ADDITIONAL SHRA DEVELOPMENT...ESPECIALLY OVER
THE MOUNTAINS. AGAIN...INSTABILITY APPEARS WEAK NEAR THE SURFACE
BUT WILL NEED TO MONITOR AS ANY VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT COULD QUICKLY
LEAD TO MORE ROBUST DEVELOPMENT AND THE NEED FOR TSRA INCLUSION IN
THE EXTENDED. NEXT LARGE SCALE SYSTEM NOT SLATED UNTIL NEXT
SATURDAY.

DEESE

AVIATION...
12Z UPDATE...
SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO DIMINISH ACROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING...BUT EXPECT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT LATE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF N AND C GA AS COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO
GA. IFR CIGS PRESENT THIS AM ASSOCIATED WITH SHOWERS OR
DISSIPATED SHOWERS...AND EXPECT MVFR BY MID AM. SW WINDS WILL
BECOME MORE W...WITH GENERALLY 12G18KTS AFTER 15-16Z AS FRONT
APPROACHES THE AREA. CONDITIONS CLEAR QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON...THEN
MVFR CIGS RETURN AGAIN SUN AM. HAVE JUST KEPT CB IN TAFS AFTER
15Z...AND INTO THE AFTERNOON...DUE TO UNCERTAINTY WITH CONVECTION.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON ALL ELEMENTS...EXCEPT HIGH ON WINDS.

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
COLD FRONT IS KNOCKING ON GEORGIA'S DOOR...WITH GUSTY WNW WINDS
EXPECTED ONCE IT PUSHES IN. STILL A CHANCE OF THUNDER ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...SO HAVE LEFT CB IN THE CLOUD GROUPS FOR THE
FIRST FEW HOURS. SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD MOVE INTO
MAINLY NORTH GEORGIA BEHIND THE FRONT...SO LOW MVFR CIGS EXPECTED
SUNDAY MORNING FOR THE NORTHERN TAFS. SOME HINT AT IFR CIGS BUT
HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY FOR NOW. SHOULD START CLEARING BACK TO VFR
BY MIDDAY SUNDAY WITH GUSTY WINDS BUILDING BACK IN.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
HIGH ON WINDS.
