AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
343 PM EDT SUN JUN 10 2012

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER LOW OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
ITS WAY NORTH NORTHEAST...GRADUALLY BEING ABSORBED BY THE LONGWAVE
TROUGH WORKING ITS WAY INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON.
PLENTIFUL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO STREAM
ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH...WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AS WELL AS A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. RAIN EARLIER TODAY HELPED TO
PROVIDE A RAIN-COOLED STABLE AIRMASS ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTH
GEORGIA...HELPING TO CREATE AN IN SITU DAMMING EVENT WITH WINDS
BACKING TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST ACROSS EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA.
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS IN SOUTHERN ZONES CONTINUE TO ADVECT A MORE
UNSTABLE AIRMASS INTO THE REGION WITH SBCAPE VALUES INCHING UPWARDS
OF 1000 J/KG TOWARD THE METRO AREA. INCREASING 925-700MB WINDS AHEAD
OF THE UPPER SYSTEM HAVE LED TO AN INCREASE IN DEEP LAYER SHEAR...
WITH LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES INCREASING TO 250-300 M2/S2 ACROSS
PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST ALABAMA. ALL THIS COMBINED HAS LED TO AN
ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTIVE OF ROTATING STORMS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
TRENDS THIS AFTERNOON BUT EXPECT THAT THE MORE SIGNIFICANT STORMS
WILL REMAIN TO THE SOUTH...THOUGH ROTATION MAY INCREASE ACROSS
CENTRAL GEORGIA ENOUGH TO WARRANT A TORNADO WARNING OR TWO THIS
AFTERNOON. WITH PW VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES...THIS IS A VERY TROPICAL
ENVIRONMENT SO STORMS ARE GENERALLY LOW-TOPPED AND ANY TORNADOES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE SHORT-LIVED.

THE SHORTWAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PHASING UPPER LOW WILL BRING
ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF PRECIP TO THE AREA OVERNIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW FOR MORE ON QPF...BUT WITH 6-HR
VALUES BETWEEN A QUARTER AND HALF AN INCH...SEE NO REASON TO NOT GO
CATEGORICAL POPS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. INSTABILITY REMAINS
MINIMAL ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA OVERNIGHT AND RETREATS SOMEWHAT ACROSS
SOUTHERN ZONES...SO HAVE LIMITED THUNDER WORDING TO JUST SLIGHT
CHANCE. AS THE IN SITU CAD PUSHES OUT IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING
SHORTWAVE AND THE RETREATING SURFACE HIGH IN THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC...EXPECT THAT INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE EVERYWHERE MONDAY
LATE MORNING INTO AFTERNOON. HAVE BROAD-BRUSHED WORDING WITH BOTH
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO THE
SOUTHWEST BY LATE MORNING...SHEAR WILL REMAIN MINIMAL THROUGH THE
DAY AND THUS DO NOT REALLY EXPECT SEVERE STORMS...SWODY2 FROM SPC
JUST HAS THE AREA IN SEE TEXT.

HIGH TEMPS WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL AND LOWS ABOVE NORMAL WITH THE
SATURATED ENVIRONMENT IN PLACE. HAVE GENERALLY TAKEN A BLEND BETWEEN
THE COOLER MET AND WARMER MAV BUT THIS WILL DEPEND ON IF ANY SUN
PEEKS OUT...VERY SIMILAR TO TODAY.

.HYDROLOGY...
IN ADDITION TO WHAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN...WHICH IS GENERALLY
0.25-0.75 INCHES WITH POCKETS OF MUCH HEAVIER RAIN IN SOUTHEAST
ZONES...EXPECT AN ADDITIONAL 1-2 INCHES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. WITH 1-HR FFG VALUES STILL OVER 1 INCH EVERYWHERE...SEE NO
MAJOR FLOODING/FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS AT THIS TIME. IN ISOLATED
LOCATIONS WHERE HEAVIER RAIN FALLS...COULD OF COURSE SEE LOCALIZED
FLOODING BUT FOR THE MOST PART THE RAIN SHOULD MAINLY HELP TO
ALLEVIATE DROUGHT CONCERNS ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA.

TDP

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MADE NO CHANGES TO THE LONG TERM. BROAD UPPER TROUGH OVER THE AREA
THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH PORTIONS OF IT HANGING BACK OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD. STILL LOOKS LIKE THERE
MAY BE SOME DRYING BEHIND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY FOR SUNDAY SO HAVE
LEFT IT DRY FOR NOW.

41

PREVIOUS LONG TERM /407 AM EDT SUNDAY JUN 10 2012/

MODELS MAINTAIN UPPER TROUGH OR SOME SEMBLANCE OF OUR AREA
THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD...THOUGH WEAKENING IT WITH TIME.
MEANWHILE...AT THE SURFACE MODELS SHOW A COLD FRONT PUSHING ACROSS
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MONDAY NIGHT AND MOVING ACROSS NORTH
GEORGIA TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT. FRONT LOOKS TO PUSH INTO CENTRAL
GEORGIA WEDNESDAY WITH REMNANTS OF THE BOUNDARY MEANDERING
SOMEWHERE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA INTO FRIDAY. WILL NEED TO
KEEP GOOD CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WITH FRONT MOVING INTO THE STATE. POPS
TAPERING BACK INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY TUESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
WITH BEST CHANCE CENTRAL SECTIONS...DUE TO BOUNDARY OVER OR IN THE
VICINITY OF THAT AREA. HAVE HELD ON TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MAINLY
OVER SOUTHEAST COUNTIES SATURDAY WITH GFS INDICATING LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST AND THE POSSIBILITY OF DEEPER
MOISTURE LINGERING OVER THE AREA.

TEMPS NEAR NORMAL LEVELS TUESDAY...BUT GENERALLY RUNNING ABOVE FOR
THE REST THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

49

&&

HYDROLOGY...
FORECAST RAIN AMOUNTS TODAY/TONIGHT RUNNING IN THE 1/2 TO 1.5 INCH
RANGE AND 1/2 TO 1 INCH RANGE FOR MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT. THESE AMOUNTS
SHOULD BE HANDLED FINE BY AREA LAKES...STREAMS AND CREEKS.
THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THE SYSTEM
COULD LEAD TO A HEAVY RAIN EVENT WITH MINOR FLOODING FOR SOME AREAS.
THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.

&&

AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
WIDESPREAD SHRA WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA WITH IFR CIGS NORTH
AND MVFR CIGS SOUTH. MAY SEE SOME BRIEF BREAKS TO MVFR NORTH THIS
AFTERNOON BUT EXPECT CIGS TO DROP TO IFR AGAIN AFTER 00Z AND TO
LIFR AFTER ABOUT 06Z. MAINLY MVFR VSBY EXPECTED THOUGH IT COULD
DROP TO IFR OR LOWER IN SUB-TEMPO-SCALE HEAVIER RAIN. FRONT SHOULD
MOVE THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WITH WIND SHIFT CURRENTLY PROGGED
AROUND 14Z. INSTABILITY INCREASES ON MONDAY SO HAVE CONTINUED
PROB30 FOR THUNDER LATE MORNING AND HAVE PUT IT IN THE PREVAILING
GROUP FOR ATL AFTER 18Z.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
HIGH ON WIND SPEEDS...MEDIUM-HIGH ON TIMING OF WIND SHIFT MONDAY.
MEDIUM-HIGH ON CIGS AND VSBY...MEDIUM ON TIMING OF CATEGORY CHANGES.
HIGH ON OCCURRENCE OF CONVECTION MONDAY...MEDIUM ON TIMING AND
IMPACTS TO ATL.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...
A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
WEST CENTRAL. ELSEWHERE ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE.

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER LOUISIANA WILL DRIFT NORTHEAST THROUGH
TONIGHT AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR THE GEORGIA-FLORIDA BORDER LIFTS
NORTHWARD.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARD ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AREAS WILL BE DAMAGING
WINDS AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. OTHERWISE
EXPECT HEAVY RAIN...STRONG WINDS AND OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING.

.DISCUSSION...
DEEP MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL INTERACT WITH A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY NEAR THE GEORGIA-FLORIDA BORDER TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS...AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGH TONIGHT. WHILE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AT ANYTIME...THE BEST AREA TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
CENTRAL GEORGIA. INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON AS STRONG MID LEVEL WINDS MOVE NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF.
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND INCREASED CAPES MAY SUPPORT A FEW SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY WEST CENTRAL. AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE
IN THAT AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD. A COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE STATE ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...
ENHANCING THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
