AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
150 PM EDT SAT JUL 30 2011

.UPDATE...
CONVECTION ENTERING NW GA THIS MORNING ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE
USHERED IN BY NORTHWEST FLOW. TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS LOOKS TO
BE ON TRACK...BUT HAVE ADJUSTED POPS SLIGHTLY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA
FOR THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR LATEST ACTIVITY.
PRECIP EXPECTED TO STAY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA...WITH THE REMAINING
CWA SHELTERED BY RETREATING RIDGE. NO ADDITIONAL UPDATES ARE
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

31

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
/ISSUED 434 AM EDT SAT JUL 30 2011/
STRONG 596DM SUBTROPICAL RIDGE...CENTERED OVER N GA FRI...WILL DRIFT
BACK WEST TOWARD OK BY 00Z SUN...THEN MEANDER ABOUT THE OK/AR/TX
REGION THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. CONSEQUENTLY...THIS WILL ONCE
AGAIN PLACE GA AND THE SE U.S. IN A MORE ACTIVE NW FLOW ALOFT.
ALTHOUGH DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE HAS REMAINED OVER THE AREA THE PAST
SEVERAL DAYS...THE PROXIMITY OF THE UPPER RIDGE AND ASSOCIATED
SUBSIDENCE HAS GREATLY SUPPRESSED CONVECTION. COVERAGE THE LAST
COUPLE OF DAYS HAS BEEN ON THE ORDER OF 10 PERCENT...LITTLE OF WHICH
HAS EVEN PRODUCED LIGHTNING. SUBTLE CHANGES RESULTING FROM INCREASED
NW FLOW ALOFT WILL LIKELY YIELD SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE TODAY...AND ESPECIALLY SUN-MON AS A NW FLOW SHORT WAVE AND
ASSOCIATED WEAK FRONT DRIFT SOUTH INTO THE REGION. TROPICAL MOISTURE
IS DEEPLY ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE REGION. PWS INCREASE FROM 1.7 AT 00Z
SUN TO AN EXTREMELY MOIST 2.3 INCHES BY 00Z MON. 500MB TEMPS
DECREASE SLIGHTLY FROM -4C TO -6C...JUST ENOUGH AT THIS TIME OF YEAR
TO RESULT IN A MARKED INCREASE IN CONVECTION.

FOR TODAY...EXPECT AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION ACROSS MAINLY NW
GA...MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED SYNOPTIC CHANGES AND
APPROACHING FRONT/NW FLOW SHORT WAVE...WHILE THE REMAINDER OF THE
CWA REMAINS SOMEWHAT IMPACTED BY THE RECEDING RIDGE.
SUN-MON...EXPECT WIDESPREAD...MAINLY DIURNAL DRIVEN CONVECTION. WITH
PWS WELL ABOVE 2.0 INCHES...HEAVY RAIN AND EVEN LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN HEAVILY URBANIZED AREAS AND MOUNTAINOUS
AREAS...WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN. THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED VERY
CAREFULLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS...ESPECIALLY WITH LIGHT STEERING
CURRENTS AND HIGH PWS. AT THIS TIME...AM NOT ISSUING AN FFA AS
COVERAGE OF VERY HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING STORMS SHOULD ONLY BE
SCATTERED. THE SEVERE THREAT APPEARS QUITE LOW. CAPES GENERALLY 1500
OR LESS...NOTHING IMPRESSIVE FOR LATE JULY BY ANY MEANS. SHEAR IS
ESSENTIALLY NON-EXISTENT. HOWEVER...SPC HAS PLACED THE FAR NORTH IN
A 5 PERCENT RISK FOR DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS TODAY...AND THE
ENTIRE CWA SUN-MON...FOR POSSIBLE HEAVY PRECIPITATION LOADING IN THE
STRONGEST STORMS. AGAIN...OVERALL SEVERE THREAT IS LOW AND HEAVY
RAIN WILL BY FAR BE THE MAIN CONCERN.

PREFER THE MAV MOS POPS OVER THE MET MOS POPS FOR THE SHORT TERM.
THE MET MOS POPS ARE TOO HIGH TODAY AND TOO LOW FOR SUN...OWING TO
THE NAMS RATHER POOR HANDLING OF OVERALL DYNAMICS. THIS IN TURN
LEADS TO THE MET MOS MAX TEMPS BEING TOO LOW TODAY...ESPECIALLY IN
NW GA. PREFER A MAV/MET BLEND...WITH A BIAS TOWARD THE MAV FOR MAX
TEMPS TODAY. FOR MIN TEMPS...A MAV/MET BLEND OR EVEN PERSISTENCE
WILL RULE. IT WILL REMAIN VERY MUGGY AT NIGHT...WITH ATL NOT LIKELY
TO DROP BELOW 75/76 NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. MAV MAX TEMPS
SUN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH ARE TOO WARM AND UNREASONABLE
GIVEN EXPECTED INCREASE IN CONVECTION AND COOLING 850MB TEMPS...BUT
LOOK BETTER FOR MON. A MAV/MET BLEND WILL BE THE BEST OPTION FOR MAX
TEMPS NEXT FEW DAYS...AS IT HAS BEEN THE PAST SEVERAL CYCLES.

19

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
/ISSUED 434 AM EDT SAT JUL 30 2011/
SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH FOR LATE JULY...BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS AGREE
THAT THE SHORT TERM FRONT WILL BE PUSHED INTO SOUTH GA BY TUE...AND
COMPLETELY SOUTH OF THE CWA BY WED. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
SOUTHWARD FROM THE OHIO VALLEY WITH VERY DRY MID-LEVEL AIR AND
SLIGHTLY DRIER SFC AIR PROGGED TO FILTER INTO THE AREA FROM THE
NORTH. THE MAMMOTH SUBTROPICAL RIDGE REMAINS CENTERED IN THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS...BUT BEGINS TO EXPAND EASTWARD. A DEEP TROUGH
EVOLVES OFF THE EAST COAST. THIS PATTERN WOULD INDEED RESULT IN
INCREASED SUBSIDENCE AND DRYING ACROSS OUR CWA. MEX MOS POPS ARE
GENERALLY REDUCED TO LESS THAN 10 PERCENT FOR THE LATER HALF OF THE
WEEK ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA. I ALWAYS TREAD WITH CAUTION ON ANY SUCH
ADVERTISED DRYING AT THIS TIME OF YEAR IN THIS REGION OF THE
COUNTRY. HOWEVER...SEEING THE LACK OF CONVECTION THE PAST COUPLE OF
DAYS...I CAN CERTAINLY SUPPORT GREATLY REDUCED POPS DURING AT LEAST
THE FIRST PART OF THE EXTENDED...TUE-WED...COMPARED TO THE SUN-MON
PERIOD. AS ALWAYS WITH THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER
RIDGE...THE DOOR REMAINS OPEN FOR ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCES TO MOVE
SOUTH FROM THE MIDWEST AND OHIO VALLEY. SUCH WILL BE THE CASE BY FRI
AS THE NEXT WEAK FRONT AND DISTURBANCE MOVES SOUTH INTO THE AREA.
THE GFS/ECMWF ALSO HINT AT AN INVERTED TROUGH/EASTERLY WAVE
AFFECTING THE REGION TOWARD THE WEEKEND. MODEL DISPARITIES IN TIMING
AND EXTENT OF COVERAGE NORTH OF FL DO NOT SUPPORT MORE THAN SLIGHT
CHC/LOW CHC POPS IN THE LATER PORTIONS OF THE EXTENDED AT THIS TIME.
THE GFS EVEN DEPICTS A HURRICANE OFF THE SE U.S. COAST BY NEXT
WEEKEND...WHILE THE ECMWF SHOWS NO SUCH SYSTEM. NW FLOW ALOFT SHOULD
KEEP ANY SUCH SYSTEM EAST OF THE U.S.

IT WILL REMAIN HOT AND HUMID THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIODS...BUT
COMPARED TO WHAT TX/OK WILL/HAVE ENDURED FOR WEEKS ON END...IT IS
REALLY NOT THAT BAD HERE. 850MB TEMPS ARE PROGGED TO RISE BACK INTO
THE +22C TO +24C RANGE BY MID-WEEK...WHICH WOULD SUPPORT THE USUAL
SPOTS...MCN...CSG...AHN APPROACHING 100. WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
70S...THIS WOULD PUSH HEAT INDICES INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA. WILL NEED
TO WATCH...BUT PREVIOUS EVENTS THIS SUMMER HAVE BEEN MARGINAL IN
MEETING CRITERIA OVER A WIDESPREAD AREA. MEX TEMPS LOOK WAY TOO HIGH
IN THE TUE-WED PERIOD BASED ON PAST SIMILAR EVENTS THIS SUMMER...SO
HAVE LOWERED ACROSS THE BOARD.
