AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
1256 AM EST SUN JAN 9 2011

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 900 PM EST SAT JAN 8 2011/

UPDATE...
WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE ZONES AT THIS TIME. THERE ARE
SEVERAL UNCERTAINTIES AND CONCERNS THAT WILL IMPACT THE IMPENDING
WINTER EVENT...INCLUDING THE SOUTHWARD EXTENT OF THE ARCTIC
AIR...STRONG MID-LEVEL WAA LATE SUN-MON...AND THE WEAKENING OF THE
UPPER-LEVEL/SFC BASED SYSTEM AS IT MOVES ENE AND SHEARS OUT.
UPPER-LEVEL FLOW IS NOT FAVORABLE FOR MUCH FURTHER SOUTHWARD
ADVECTION OF THE ARCTIC AIR BOTTLED UP ACROSS THE NORTHERN STATES.
TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN SLOW TO FALL AND FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS HAVE
BEEN RUNNING WELL ABOVE GUIDANCE TEMPS. SHALLOW ARCTIC AIR IS
FINALLY FILTERING INTO N GA AND TEMPS ARE FALLING INTO THE UPPER 20S
AND LOWER 30S ACROSS THE NORTH...WITH STILL 40S IN CENTRAL AREAS.
THE NE U.S. POLAR VORTEX WILL LIFT OUT AS THE SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM
APPROACHES...THUS AIDING LITTLE IN FURTHER SOUTHWARD PUSH OF THE
ARCTIC AIR. 850MB TEMPS ARE INDICATED ON ALL MODELS TO RISE WELL
ABOVE 0C ACROSS ALL EXCEPT THE MOUNTAINS AND FAR N BY MON
AFTN...WHICH WILL LIMIT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AND LEAD TO A GREATER
THREAT OF IP...FZRA...AND JUST PLAN RAIN CENTRAL AREAS. SFC-950MB
TEMPS HOVER NEAR/BELOW FREEZING LONGER AND WITH SFC DEWPOINTS
PRECEDING THE ONSET OF THE PCPN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS/TEENS...THE WET
BULB EFFECT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT...AGAIN LEADING TO MORE CONCERN
ABOUT FZRA/SLEET THAN SNOW FOR THE ATL AREA. ONLY THE MOUNTAINS AND
FAR N MAINTAIN A DEEP ENOUGH COLUMN OF COLD AIR FOR ALL SNOW THROUGH
THE MAJORITY OF THE EVENT...WHERE ACCUMULATIONS AS INDICATED EARLIER
COULD BE UP TO 7 INCHES OR MORE. INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE GFS
SHOWS NO SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION SOUTH OF RMG-CANTON-GVL. THE
WEAKENING AND FAST MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM ALSO CONCERNS ME...WITH
THE ECMWF ONLY SHOWING MEAGER PCPN AMOUNTS ACROSS N GA WITH THIS
SYSTEM. ENTIRELY TOO MANY UNRESOLVED ISSUES TO MAKE CHANGES AT THIS
TIME OR ISSUE ANY WARNINGS OR ADVISORIES. HOPEFULLY THE 00Z MODEL
RUNS WILL SHED SOME MORE LIGHT ON THE SITUATION.

ALSO INTERESTING TO NOTE IS THE DIFFICULTY THE MODELS ARE HAVING IN
THE EXTENDED WITH THE MASSIVE ARCTIC AIR MASS POOLED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN STATES...E.G....-32C AT 850MB. LATEST MODEL RUNS GENERALLY
KEEP ALL OF THIS WELL NORTH OF THE CWA...BUT FLIP FLOP FROM ONE RUN
WITH TEMPS HERE IN THE 60S TO THE NEXT WITH TEMPS IN THE 20S.
TREMENDOUS UNCERTAINTY TO SAY THE LEAST.

19

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.../ISSUED AT 650 PM EST/...

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
LATE WEEKEND WINTER STORM STILL THE BIG WEATHER STORY. SURFACE
FEATURE OVER THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES WILL SHIFT OFF THE NEW ENGLAND
COAST BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL
USHER COLD ARCTIC AIR INTO THE SOUTHEAST AS SURFACE HIGH AXIS
EXTENDS INTO THE REGION. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES OUT OVER THE
NORTHEASTERN GULF BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND TRACKS ACROSS SOUTH
GEORGIA THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS IMPENDING SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BE A MAJOR WINTER WEATHER HAZARD...AND THOSE WITH
INTERESTS IN THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD MONITOR THE SITUATION. THE
LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW INITIAL PRECIPITATION MOVING INTO WESTERN
GEORGIA 00Z...WHICH IS SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS.  MODELED
SOUNDINGS SUPPORT INITIAL PRECIPITATION TO BE IN THE FORM OF
SNOW...WITH A MIX OF RAIN...SLEET...AND SNOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
CWA. AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE STATE...SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL PULL WARMER AIR UP INTO THE CWA.
WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER AIR ALOFT MONDAY MORNING...PRECIPITATION WILL
SWITCH TO A SLEET MIX...THEN PRIMARILY FREEZING RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF
THE METRO AREA. THE LOWER THIRD OF THE CWA WILL SEE A MIX OF
FREEZING RAIN AND RAIN...AND THE NORTHERN THIRD WILL PRIMARILY SEE
SNOW THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...TRANSITIONING TO A SLEET/SNOW MIX BY
AFTERNOON. THE TRANSITIONING PRECIP WILL KEEP ACCUMULATIONS
LOWER...WITH THE FAR SOUTH AND SOUTHEASTERN CWA SEEING LESS THAN AN
INCH OF ACCUMULATION...1 TO 3 INCHES SOUTH OF THE METRO AREA...3 TO
5 INCHES ACROSS THE METRO ATL AREA...AND 5-7 INCHES NORTH OF THE
METRO AREA. ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS MAY BE POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHEAST
GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. SEE THE LATEST WINTER STORM WATCH /WSWFFC/ FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. ALTHOUGH MODELS SEEM FAIRLY CONSISTENT AT
THIS TIME...ANY DEVIATIONS IN THE TRACK FORECAST OR ATMOSPHERIC
TEMPERATURES COULD RESULT IN CHANGES IN PRECIPITATION TYPE AND
ACCUMULATION AMOUNTS.

ANY SLEET/FREEZING RAIN/RAIN THAT FALLS ON TOP OF SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
WILL RESULT IN ICY CONDITIONS. WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR FREEZING
MONDAY...AND BELOW FREEZING TUESDAY MORNING...CONDITIONS WILL BE
SLOW TO IMPROVE. THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE VERY
DANGEROUS...ESPECIALLY FOR TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE MAKE PREPARATIONS
NOW TO AVOID ROADWAYS AFTER THE ONSET OF THE STORM.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EXITS OVER THE SOUTH ATLANTIC BIGHT BY EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING...WITH WRAP AROUND MOISTURE KEEPING THE POTENTIAL
FOR LIGHT SNOW ACROSS NORTH AND EASTERN GEORGIA THROUGH TUESDAY.
LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EXTENDS DOWN FROM THE MIDWEST INTO THE
SOUTHEAST BEHIND THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. HIGH CENTERED OVER THE
EASTERN SEABOARD BY FRIDAY...AND IS PUSHED OFF OVER THE ATLANTIC BY
DEVELOPING LOW THAT DROPS OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES BY MID
WEEKEND. FOR NOW...A DRY EXTENDED PERIOD IS IN STORE...WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE 30S AND 40S.

31

FIRE WEATHER...
ALTHOUGH FUELS HAVE DRIED TO NEAR CRITICAL LEVELS TODAY...RH AND
WINDS ARE FORECASTED TO REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS SUNDAY.
WITH LOW PRESSURE BRINGING IN WINTER WEATHER SUNDAY EVENING AND INTO
MONDAY...DO NOT EXPECT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH
EARLY WEEK.

31

.AVIATION...
06Z UPDATE...
VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE REST OF TONIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY WITH
MAINLY SCT TO BKN MID AND HIGH CLOUDS EXPECTED. CIGS LOWERING INTO
THE MVFR RANGE AFTER 00Z MONDAY. VSBYS GENERALLY UNRESTRICTED.
WINDS TURNING NORTHEAST BEFORE SUNRISE...THEN MORE EASTERLY BY
MID- MORNING. SPEEDS GENERALLY AROUND 10 KTS...BUT PICKING UP AND
BECOMING GUSTY LATE IN THE DAY AS THE STORM SYSTEM OVER THE GULF
MOVES CLOSER. THINK ANY SUBSTANTIAL PRECIP WILL BE AFTER 00Z AND
SHOULD START AS A MIX OF SNOW AND/OR FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE...
CONFIDENCE HIGH ON ALL ELEMENTS EXCEPT MEDIUM ON PRECIPITATION
STARTING TIME AND TYPE.
