AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
742 PM EDT SUN AUG 7 2011
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 340 PM EDT SUN AUG 7 2011/
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
EARLIER OVERCAST CLOUD COVER PUT A DAMPER ON THINGS TODAY. SATELLITE
INDICATING CLOUDS NOW HIGHLY BROKEN UP WITH PLENTY OF DIFFERENTIAL
HEATING GOING ON. STILL TIME FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THAT SHOULD DISSIPATE WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THE
EXCEPTION TO THAT COULD BE PORTIONS OF NW GA THAT COULD COME UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF A GENERALLY WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER NIGHT.
THE RATHER PREDOMINATE SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA LOOKS TO
BECOME MORE ENHANCED ON MONDAY. THIS COMBINED WITH AFTERNOON
INSTABILITY AND A SUMMERTIME AIRMASS WILL GIVE RISE TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MOSTLY FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
CENTRAL GA LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER TARGET THAN N GA. THE MODELS ARE AT
LEAST HINTING THAT CONVECTION COULD BE INFLUENCED BY WEAK UPPER
DISTURBANCES. THE GFS AND NAM ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE
FORECASTING OF THESE DISTURBANCES.
THE SURFACE TROUGH BECOMES MORE ENHANCED FOR TUESDAY ACROSS CENTRAL
GA AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO N GA. THIS WILL GREATLY AID THE
CONVECTIVE PROCESS MAKING N GA A LITTLE BETTER TARGET FOR SHOWERS
AND STORMS AS THE POTENTIAL FOR GENERALLY WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCES TO
MOVE OVER THE AREA CONTINUES. HIGHER POPS COULD BE NEEDED THIS
DAY...ESPECIALLY FOR N GA.
A HOT AIRMASS CONTINUES OVER THE AREA. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE TO GREATLY DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER...ESPECIALLY
AT THE START OF THE DAY...AND HOW MUCH OVERALL CONVECTION. THE HEAT
ADVISORY WILL BE CONTINUED FOR MONDAY AND EXTENDED A FEW COUNTIES N
ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE STATE.
OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS LOW TO MEDIUM.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A WEAK COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY AND THE
LOCATION OF THIS FRONT AND HOW MUCH MOISTURE THERE IS WILL GREATLY
DETERMINE PRECIP CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA. CURRENT MODELS INDICATING
A FAIR AMOUNT OF DRYING TAKING PLACE THAT WOULD MINIMIZE THE OVERALL
AMOUNT OF CONVECTION. AT THIS TIME...PARTS OF CENTRAL GA LOOK TO
HAVE THE BEST CHANCES WITH GENERALLY 20-30 POPS ACROSS THE AREA.
AFTER WEDNESDAY...THINGS WILL DEPEND ON WHATS LEFT OF THE
FRONT...HOW MUCH MOISTURE THERE IS...INSTABILITY AND ANY POSSIBILITY
FOR UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. MODELS INDICATING ANOTHER FRONT COULD GET
INTO THE AREA ON SUNDAY WITH THE EUROPEAN MODEL INDICATING A MUCH
MORE PRONOUNCED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE AREA.
