DEEP UPPER LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WILL SHIFT

THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF UNION AND TOWNS COUNTIES...AND AN
ADDITIONAL 1/2 TO 1 INCH OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE

3 TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET. NORTH OF THIS
AREA...ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE HIGHER WITH 5 TO 7 INCHES EXPECTED
WITH THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS REMAINING ALL SNOW...RESULTING IN
LOCALLY HIGHER ACCUMULATION AMOUNTS.

FROM MIDDAY MONDAY THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT...THE SLEET AND SNOW
WILL TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN AND DRIZZLE...CREATING A
DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR AREA ROADWAYS. THE SYSTEM SHOULD PULL OUT
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...BUT ACCUMULATING SNOW IS LIKELY TO
CONTINUE FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF NORTH GEORGIA.

PRECIPITATION WILL GENERALLY START OUT SUNDAY NIGHT AS SNOW ACROSS
NORTH GEORGIA AND A MIX OF RAIN AND SLEET ACROSS CENTRAL
GEORGIA...GENERALLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM LAGRANGE TO MILLEDGEVILLE.
SOUTH OF THIS LINE IT WILL TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET
AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS TRANSITION LINE WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTHWARD
DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY WITH SNOW AND SLEET EXPECTED ACROSS THE
NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS AND FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE SOUTH OF A LINE FROM CEDARTOWN TO GAINESVILLE. SOME
LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS MAY CONTINUE MONDAY NIGHT AND PRECIPITATION

ACROSS THE NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS AND LINGERING DRIZZLE ACROSS
THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE.

DUE TO THE CHANGE IN PRECIPITATION TYPE FROM SNOW TO FREEZING RAIN

QUARTER OF AN INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNTS
EXPECTED FROM THE ATLANTA METRO AREA SOUTHWARD.

THIS SITUATION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT TRAVEL.
STAY TUNED TO LOCAL MEDIA FOR ANY INFORMATION ON ROADWAYS AND
CLOSINGS. IN ADDITION...ICE ACCUMULATION ON TREES AND POWER LINES
MAY CAUSE POWER OUTAGES.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW...
SLEET...AND ICE ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
330 PM EST FRI JAN 7 2011

...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH 7 PM TONIGHT...
...WINTER STORM WATCH FOR SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

WILL NEED TO GET THROUGH FIRST MINOR WINTER EVENT BEFORE DELVING
INTO THE SPECIFICS OF A POTENTIAL MAJOR WINTER STORM FOR THE AREA.
LATEST MSAS ANALYSIS SHOWS A 996 MB LOW HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE
CAROLINAS AND EASTERN TENNESSEE WITH A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IN
PLACE FROM THE DAKOTAS THROUGH THE GREAT PLAINS. THIS HAS RESULTED
IN A STRONG GRADIENT LOCALLY AND LESS CLOUD COVER THAN EXPECTED IS
GIVING US A STRONG MIXING PROFILE. RUC SOUNDINGS SHOW 30 TO 35 KTS
AVAILABLE TO MIX DOWN AND EVERY BIT OF THIS IS REACHING THE SURFACE
IN THE FORM OF GUSTS. HAVE POSTED A SHORT TERM WIND ADVISORY TO
COVER THESE WINDS. AS FAR AS THE NORTHERN ELEVATION SNOW...JUST A
DUSTING COMING IN FROM THOSE COUNTIES AND THE MAJORITY HAVE SEEN
THIS SN COME TO AN END WITH JUST SCT SN SHOWERS OR FLURRIES FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE TONIGHT PERIOD.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM...AS LOW PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST
OF THE AREA...HIGH PRESSURE WILL NOSE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY...RESULTING IN MUCH COLDER TEMPS FOR SAT AND SUN
WITH HIGHS AROUND 40 ON SAT AND UPPER 30S FOR SUN IN THE METRO.
DRIER AIR WORKING INTO THE AREA WILL PLAY A KEY ROLE IN SETTING
THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT WINTER EVENT. GFS CONTINUES TO LOOK TOO
COLD ON THESE DEWPOINTS BUT BASED ON UPSTREAM AIRMASS...WOULD NOT
BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME LOWER TEENS VALUES.

LET'S GET TO THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS OF THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE WHICH WILL BE THE DEVELOPING WINTER STORM THE LATTER HALF
OF THE WEEKEND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE
CLOSED LOW THE MODELS HAVE BEEN KEYING IN ON FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW
INITIALIZED ONSHORE CALIFORNIA WHICH SHOULD GIVE SOME ADDED
CONFIDENCE.

LOW WILL OPEN UP AS IT MOVES INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY LATE SUN
AFTERNOON WITH 1005 SURFACE LOW FORMING ALONG THE GULF COAST.
ALTHOUGH SIMILAR WITH PLACEMENT...ECMWF SHOWS A MUCH WEAKER SYSTEM
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS WOULD ACTUALLY FAVOR A MORE SN EVENT
ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF AS WARM NOSE ARRIVES LATE...LARGELY AFTER
DRY SLOT MOVES IN. GFS SHOWS A MUCH MORE DYNAMIC SYSTEM WITH BUFR
SOUNDINGS SHOWING STRONG WARM NOSE INFILTRATING ENTIRE CWA WITH SN
CHANGING TO PL/RA. OTHER IMPORTANT EVOLVING FEATURE IN FORECAST
HAS BEEN THE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CAROLINAS WHICH CONTINUES TO
STRENGTHEN IN THE MODELS AS DOES WEDGE THROUGH ALL OF GA. THIS
WOULD ALL BUT ELIMINATE RA AS A POSSIBILITY FOR THE CWA WITH
FREEZING RAIN THE DOMINANT PTYPE FROM COLUMBUS TO MILLEDGEVILLE.
NORTH OF THIS LINE...MORE OF A SLEET CONCERN WITH SN LIKELY
CONTINUING FOR THE NORTHERN TIER AND MOUNTAINS. GIVEN EXPECTED
WARNING CRITERIA FOR SN FOR NORTHERN HALF AND PROSPECTS FOR ICE
ACCUMULATION TO THE SOUTH...WILL HOIST A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR
ALL AREAS. FOR THE METRO AREAS NORTH...WILL ADVERTISE 3 TO 5
INCHES WITH 5 TO 7 INCHES FOR THE NORTHERN TIER AND ISOLATED
HIGHER AMOUNTS FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. FURTHER SOUTH...IT WILL
DEPEND ON HOW DYNAMIC THE SYSTEM BECOMES BUT WILL ADVERTISE 1 TO 3
INCHES WITH THE ICE THREAT BEING MORE OF A CONCERN.

AT THIS POINT...WOULD BE RE-MISSED IF DID NOT MENTION WHERE FORECAST
COULD GO AWRY. SHOULD SQUALL LINE DEVELOP OVER THE GULF...MOISTURE
TRANSPORT MAY BE LIMITED AND AMOUNTS MENTIONED ABOVE WOULD BE
LOWER. LIKEWISE...IF WARM NOSE IS STRONG ENOUGH...AND WEDGE HOLDS
AT THE SURFACE...SEVERE ICE EVENT COULD UNFOLD FOR A LAGER PORTION
OF THE AREA. WILL HIGHLIGHT THESE EXPECTATIONS IN WINTER STORM
WATCH.

BASED ON LOW PRESSURES EVENTUAL TRACK...COULD SEE SOME SIGNIFICANT
SN IN NORTHWEST FLOW FOR THE MOUNTAINS...IN AGREEMENT WITH SOME OF
THE ANALOG GUIDANCE OF PREVIOUS STORMS. MAY NEED TO ADJUST SNOW
TOTALS UP THERE WITH SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS.

.LONG TERM...REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM REMAINS UNCHANGED AS FOCUS
WILL BE ON UPCOMING WINTER STORM.
