.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL
GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH LARGER RAIN SHIELD BACK IN AL. LATEST
HI RES SHORT TERM MODELS INDICATING THAT CONVECTION SHOULD BE
FOCUSED SOUTH OF THE ATL METRO AREA...WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS AT BEST ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. GIVEN THAT PORTIONS OF
THE SOUTH AND CENTRAL CWA EXPERIENCED THE BEST HEATING THIS MORNING
AHEAD OF THE CLOUD SHIELD...THESE MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE
BELIEVABLE...EVEN THOUGH 16Z HAND ANALYSIS SHOWS THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY JUST APPROACHING THE NW GA CORNER. MODELED MU CAPE RANGES
IN THE 1500-2500 J/KG ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...AND LIFTED INDEX VALUES BELOW -4...SO STRONG TO ISOLATED
SEVERE STORMS CAN STILL BE ANTICIPATED. EXPECT FRONT TO PUSH INTO
NORTH GEORGIA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...AND THEN STALL ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN CWA WEDNESDAY AS BACKDOOR FRONT INFLUENCES THE NORTH
GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. MODEL GUIDANCE POPS STILL SEEM A LITTLE LOW FOR
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...SO HAVE GENERALLY GONE LIKELY TO
CATEGORICAL THIS AFTERNOON...THEN GOOD CHANCE TO LIKELY
TONIGHT...AND DIMINISHING IT TO SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING GENERALLY ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA.

GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES ON THE SAME PAGE...WITHIN A FEW DEGREES. HAVE
GONE WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN GUIDANCE CONSENSUS ON THE LOWS AND
SLIGHTLY COOLER ON THE HIGHS GIVEN THE CLOUD COVER AND RAIN
ACTIVITY. AS DRY AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT...THURSDAY MORNING
LOWS EXPECTED TO BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WEDNESDAY...AND
AXIS PUSHES EAST...ENCOMPASSING THE SOUTHEAST BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
THE REGION REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE HIGH THROUGH THE HOLIDAY
WEEKEND...LIMITING CONVECTION TO ISOLATED...DIURNALLY DRIVEN
ACTIVITY...AND KEEPING TEMPERATURES HOT. A FEW UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE TN VALLEY...INCREASING POPS
SLIGHTLY EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN...LEAVING
THE REGION UNPROTECTED.

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
VFR FORECAST AT ALL SITES...WITH MVFR DUE TO AFTERNOON/EVENING
TSRA AND EARLY MORNING FOG. CONVECTION EXPECTED TO INITIATE AFTER
19Z AND MOVE THROUGH METRO ATL SITES TONIGHT. CONVECTION ALONG A
BOUNDARY NEARING CSG...COULD HELP INITIATION AT MCN. CSG MAY SEE
CHANCES OF TSRA FALL AFTER THOSE STORMS MOVE THROUGH...BUT MCN
COULD SEE A LONG NIGHT OF STORMS AS CONVECTION THAT MOVES FROM THE
NORTH COULD AFFECT THEM THROUGH 03Z. WINDS EXPECTED TO STAY W-NW
AT MOST SITES...EXCEPT AHN WHICH COULD GO E-NE TOMORROW.
