.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 725 PM EST FRI MAR 2 2012/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
BIG FORECAST STORY REMAINS SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TONIGHT.
EXPECTING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO MOVE FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT
TO NORTHWEST GEORGIA BETWEEN 01-04Z. THIS BOUNDARY IS MOVING INTO AN
ENVIRONMENT THAT WOULD SUPPORT STRONG CELL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE
MAIN LINE OF CONVECTION. STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR ACCOMPANIES THIS
FRONT AS IT MOVES THROUGH...WITH 0-6KM SHEAR OF 60-70KTS AND 0-1KM
SHEAR OF 30-40KTS BY 03Z...AND UP TO 90KTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR BY 09Z.
MODERATE INSTABILITY IS PRESENT ACROSS THE AREA...WITH MOST OF THE
MODELS INDICATING 1000-1500 J/KG MU CAPE AT BEST. NAM IS THE
OUTLIER...WITH MU CAPE GREATER THAN 2500 J/KG. REGARDLESS...THE
COMBINATION OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR...MODERATE
INSTABILITY...AND LONG HODOGRAPHS SUPPORTS THE PRODUCTION OF
SUPERCELLS WITHIN THE LINE...AND THE WHOLE VARIETY OF THUNDERSTORM
HAZARDS. ESPECIALLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST GEORGIA...A FEW
LONG-TRACK TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE...AND SPC DOES HAVE THIS AREA
OUTLOOKED FOR A 15 PERCENT TORNADO RISK...WITH AT LEAST A 10 PERCENT
RISK OF A SIGNIFICANT TORNADO. ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE
STATE...TORNADOES ARE STILL POSSIBLE. DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE
HAIL...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND HEAVY RAIN ARE ALL EXPECTED WITH
THESE STORMS. NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN YOUR
AREA.

TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA AS THIS SYNOPTIC EVENT
EVOLVES WILL ALLOW FOR WINDS TO STAY IN THE 10 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS
TO 30 MPH...ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF NORTH GEORGIA. AS
A RESULT...THE WIND ADVISORY CONTINUES THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY.

MODELS ARE INDICATING A SLOW PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT THROUGH THE
STATE...WITH MULTIPLE BANDS OF STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE WAY. HAVE
TRIED TO KEEP TIGHT GRADIENT OF POPS ACROSS THE STATE TO HIGHLIGHT
AREAS OF BEST PRECIP CHANCES. BY SATURDAY MORNING...LIKELY TO
CATEGORICAL POPS ARE POSITIONED SOUTHEAST OF THE ATL METRO
AREA...AND BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...GENERALLY OVER THE FAR SE AND
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALONG
THE BOUNDARY OVER SOUTHERN CAROLINA. LIGHT RAIN AND CLOUDS REMAIN
ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA THROUGH SATURDAY. UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES
IN BEHIND THE FRONT...KEEPING SLIGHT CHANCES OF RAIN ACROSS NORTH
GEORGIA ON SUNDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BY EARLY WEEK.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...HAVE SIDED WITH A GUIDANCE BLEND...FOCUSING ON
LOCAL BIAS WHICH HAS OUT PERFORMED INDIVIDUAL GUIDANCE TEMPS.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO OVER THE EASTERN U.S. BY
EARLY TUESDAY. HAVE MADE NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED
FORECAST...AND AS A RESULT...HAVE PROVIDED THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
BELOW.../31

/ISSUED 330 AM EST FRI MAR 2 2012/
MODELS DIFFERING WITH HOW MUCH MOISTURE WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
UPPER TROUGH FOR N GA ON SUNDAY. NAM IS THE DRIEST...EUROPEAN KEEPS
THE PRECIP POTENTIAL AT THE N GA BORDER N...AND THE GFS BRINGS IN
THE MOST MOISTURE WITH PRECIP CHANCES DOWN TO ABOUT ATL/AHN. FOR NOW
WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF PRECIP OUT OF THE FORECAST BUT THIS COULD
CHANGE. IF PRECIP DOES OCCUR EARLY ENOUGH IT COULD BE SOMETHING
OTHER THEN RAIN...ESPECIALLY FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

OTHERWISE A DRY FORECAST LOOKS TO BE IN STORE MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
THE GFS AND EUROPEAN BEGIN TO SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFER THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY WITH THE EUROPEAN INDICATING MORE MOISTURE BUT NOT MUCH
PRECIP FOR THURSDAY AND A COLD FRONT MOVING TO THE AREA FRIDAY WITH
MUCH GREATER PRECIP CHANCES.

BDL

HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1-2.5 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE CONVECTION
MOVING INTO THE AREA TONIGHT...WITH HIGHEST AMOUNTS ACROSS NORTH
GEORGIA. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 3-4 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED. AREAS
IN FAR NORTHWEST GEORGIA HAVE RECEIVED QUITE A BIT OF RAINFALL OVER
THE LAST FEW DAYS...AND FFG SUGGESTS IT WOULD TAKE LESS THAN 2
INCHES OF RAINFALL IN A 3 HOUR PERIOD TO RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING
ACROSS THAT AREA. AS A RESULT...HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
NORTHWEST GEORGIA. PLEASE SEE THE LATEST FFAFFC FOR MORE INFORMATION.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT
SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TONIGHT...WITH LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS LIKELY...TORNADOES PROBABLE.

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED DEEP UPPER TROUGH WILL SWEEP FROM
THE CENTRAL U.S. INTO THE EASTERN U.S. THROUGH SATURDAY. MUCH COLDER
AIR WILL FILTER INTO GEORGIA BEHIND THE FRONT SATURDAY.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARD FROM THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT WILL BE
TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...FREQUENT CLOUD-TO-GROUND
LIGHTNING AND VERY HEAVY RAIN. THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACROSS NORTHWEST GEORGIA DURING THE EARLY AND
MID EVENING HOURS...SPREADING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
NORTH GEORGIA THROUGH THE EVENING INTO THE EARLY MORNING...REACHING
CENTRAL GEORGIA BEFORE SUNRISE. LOCAL FLOODING WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS NORTHWEST GEORGIA. THE TORNADO THREAT IS HIGHEST ACROSS
NORTHWEST GEORGIA...GENERALLY NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM
CARROLLTON...TO ATLANTA...TO GAINESVILLE.

.DISCUSSION...
AN UNSEASONABLY WARM...MOIST ATMOSPHERE HAS COMBINED WITH AN
APPROACHING DEEP UPPER TROUGH TO CONTRIBUTE TO A MARGINALLY
UNSTABLE...STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR
COMBINED WITH CAPES OF 500-1000 IN ADDITION TO A SIGNIFICANT
APPROACHING UPSTREAM DEEP UPPER TROUGH HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A
VOLATILE...SEVERE WEATHER ENVIRONMENT. THIS ENVIRONMENT WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING...THEN VERY SLOWLY STABILIZE OVERNIGHT.
THIS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A ENHANCED THREAT FOR SUPERCELL
THUNDERSTORMS...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING TORNADOES...LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...INTENSE CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING...AND
LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGH
AT LEAST MID-DAY SATURDAY. FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND FROST WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS AND PARTS OF NORTH GEORGIA
BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY MORNING. OTHERWISE NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGERS SHOULD REMAIN PREPARED FOR
ACTIVATION THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
