Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 2:52 PM EDT, 3 hours 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 252 PM EDT WED AUG 1 2012 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... CURRENT SATELLITE LOOP SHOW MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVER THE AREA. THERE IS SOME CU BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS WEST AND CENTRAL GA SO THIS LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF SOME ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. THERE IS A WEAK STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVER N GA THAT MAY ACT AS A FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THE KEY IS GOING TO BE JUST HOW MUCH DRIER AIR HAS FILTER INTO THE AREA UNDER THE WEAK RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH AND HOW STRONG IS THE INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA. LOOKS LIKE WE WILL SEE SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA DEVELOP ACROSS NORTH GA BUT IT SHOULD DISSIPATE OUT SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. MOISTURE INCREASES SOME THURSDAY FROM THE NORTH AS THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN A BIT MORE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. TEMPS WILL STAY NEAR SEASONAL NORMS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. 01 .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE REMAINS SITUATED OVER TEXAS INTO THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH NORTHWEST FLOW PREVAILING ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND INTO GEORGIA. THIS FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO USHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES INTO THE REGION INTO THE WEEKEND. THESE FEATURES...COMBINED WITH AMPLE DAYTIME HEATING WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA. INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE ATLANTIC BECOMES MORE DOMINANT ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AS LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA. THIS LOW WILL DRAG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY BY MONDAY MORNING...AND PUSH INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT PUSHES THROUGH DIFFERS SLIGHTLY BY MODEL...SO HAVE MADE NO MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CURRENT FORECAST BASED ON THE UNCERTAINTY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT...AND ANTICIPATE DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION TO RETURN BY MID WEEK. PREVIOUS FORECAST CONTINUES TO APPEAR ON TRACK...AND HAVE ADDED THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW... 31 /ISSUED 438 AM EDT WED AUG 1 2012/ LITTLE CHANGE IN THE PATTERN...HENCE THE SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE. UPPER LEVEL LOW REMAINS OVER TEXAS AS STORM SYSTEM RIDE OVER THE TOP THROUGH THE PLAINS AND OHIO VALLEY. THE HIGH OFF THE COAST CONTINUES TO HOLD A WARM MOIST AIR MASS OVER THE SOUTHEAST... THOUGH THE GFS MAINTAINS A HIGHER MEAN RH OVER THE AREA THAN DOES THE ECMWF. THE GFS SOLUTION PREFERRED. SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY THEY BOTH HAVE A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH EASTERN TENNESSEE AND INTO NORTHERN GEORGIA MONDAY MORNING. IT SETTLES INTO CENTRAL/SOUTH GEORGIA AND WEAKENS BY TUESDAY...BUT PLENTY OF MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE AREA TO CONTINUE THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS.
