Area forecast discussion, May 26, 2:18 PM EDT, 2 hours 2 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
218 PM EDT THU MAY 26 2011

...SEVERE STORMS LIKELY INTO TONIGHT...
...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN CONCERNS...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

REGIONAL SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS SURFACE TROUGH HAS PROGRESSED INTO
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND EXTENDS SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN ALABAMA
AND INTO THE GULF COAST OF MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA. THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WAS BEING AIDED BY A BAND
OF MID LEVEL VORTICITY SHOWN BY LATEST RUC ANALYSIS WHICH IS AHEAD
OF THE MAIN MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. LOOKING AT THE
THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES...ATMOSPHERE IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY
CONDUCIVE TO SUPPORT ROBUST UPDRAFTS WITH THE MIXED LAYER CAPE NOW
IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 85
CORRIDOR. IN ADDITION...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE QUITE IMPRESSIVE
WITH VALUES NEARING 8 OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER LEADS ONE TO THE CONCLUSION THAT
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH THE BIGGER QUESTION BECOMING THE EXTENT OF SEVERE
EXPECTED.

LOOKING AT THE ANALYZED SHEAR VALUES...50 KT CONTOUR AT 850 MB HAS
MADE ITS WAY INTO NORTH GA BUT THIS REALLY TAILS OFF TO THE SOUTH
WHERE 18Z SOUNDING IS ONLY SHOWING 20 KTS OR SO AT FFC. IN
ADDITION...HELICITY VALUES ARE NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE WITH THESE
STORMS...SO TORNADO POTENTIAL STILL APPEARS MINIMAL. TO SUM
UP...SEVERE WIND THREAT MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF...BUT HAIL
LIKELY WITH ANY SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS GIVEN LAPSE RATES AND INCREASED
PARTICLE SEPARATION DUE TO FLOW ALOFT. OF NOTE RECENTLY HAS BEEN
THE WRF SUITE WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWING THIS ACTIVITY TRANSLATING
EASTWARD QUICKLY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BUT MAINTAINING A GOOD
PORTION OF ITS INTENSITY DESPITE THE LOSS OF HEATING.

ACTIVITY SHOULD EVENTUALLY WANE LATE TONIGHT AND SHORT TERM MODELS
HAVE BEEN IN GENERAL MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE PATTERN...SHUNTING
MOST OF THE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE EAST OF I75 BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
WILL STILL STAY ON THE HIGH SIDE OF GUIDANCE GIVEN CONTINUED
INSTABILITY ALOFT ON FRIDAY AND THE FACT THAT WINDS REMAIN SOUTH
TO SOUTHWEST FOR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH
LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

WITH MID LEVEL TROUGH SHIFTING EAST OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY AND
DEEPER MOISTURE CONTINUING TO DECREASE...ENOUGH CONFIDENCE EXISTS
TO PULL POPS FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA AND
ADVERTISE JUST 20 POPS FOR THE EXTREME EAST. THIS TOO MAY PROVE TO
BE TOO MUCH IN THE END WITH SATURDAY POSSIBLY BEING DRY AREAWIDE.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...MAIN FEATURE THROUGH THE
EXTENDED WILL BE THE DOMINANT UPPER HIGH WHICH BUILDS OVER THE
REGION THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. SOME INDICATIONS THAT HIGH
RETROGRADES ENOUGH ON MONDAY TO ALLOW PULSE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP
OVER THE MOUNTAINS BUT NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MODIFY EXTENDED
PORTION SIGNIFICANTLY AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
SHRA/TSRA ACROSS NW GA WILL MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH THE STATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. EXPECTING TSRA AT ATL BY 21-22Z AND SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH 01-02Z.ONCE THIS LINE OF STORMS GOES THROUGH
SHOULD SEE WINDS CONTINUE OUT OF THE SW TURNING W BY DAYBREAK.
WINDS SPEEDS WILL BE IN THE 8-12KT RANGE WITH HIGHER GUST THROUGH
06Z...THEN CALM DOWN INTO THE 4-8KT RANGE 15Z FRI. EXPECTING IFR
TO MVFR VSBYS IN AND AROUND ANY SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT. CEILINGS
SHOULD STAY VFR EXCEPT IN AND AROUND TSRA DEVELOPMENT WITH A DECK
OF IFR CEILINGS MOVING IN AFTER 06Z. THIS LOW DECK WILL LIFT
TO MVFR LEVELS THROUGH 15Z THEN SCT OUT.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON ALL ELEMENTS.
