Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 1:54 PM EDT, 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
154 PM EDT MON JUN 11 2012

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1100 AM EDT MON JUN 11 2012/

UPDATE...

HAVE MADE SEVERAL CHANGES TO GRIDS THIS MORNING BASED ON TRENDS
AND HIRES MODEL OUTPUT. FIRST...HAVE MADE SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS TO
POPS AND WX. WHILE HIGH POPS STILL LOOK GOOD...NOT QUITE SO SURE
THAT WE WILL HAVE WIDESPREAD THUNDER FOR THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE
NAM/GFS BOTH DO STILL INCREASE INSTABILITY WITH CAPES BETWEEN
500-1000 J/KG...NEW HIRES MODEL OUTPUT INCLUDING WRF NMM AND HRRR
INDICATE THAT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY /AT LEAST WITH LIGHTNING/ WILL
BE MINIMAL ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. WE MAY BE GETTING INTO AN
UPSTREAM CONVECTION EVENT BASED ON THE LINE OF CONVECTION
STRETCHING FROM SOUTH CENTRAL ALABAMA TOWARDS CSG AND MCN. PW
VALUES STILL VERY HIGH /1.8 INCHES AT KFFC 12Z/ SO SHOWERS STILL
SEEM LIKELY. THUS HAVE KEPT CATEGORICAL TO LIKELY POPS BUT HAVE
REDUCED THUNDER CHANCES TO JUST SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA
THIS MORNING...INCLUDING MOST OF THE METRO AREA. KEPT NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH. ALONG WITH THAT LINE OF CONVECTION...TEMPS
ARE WAY BELOW FORECAST. HAVE MADE SEVERAL CHANGES TO HIGH TEMPS AS
WITHIN THE AREA OF RAIN CURRENT TEMPS ARE IN THE LOWER 70S. HAVE
LOWERED MAX TEMPS DOWN THERE TO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S. HAVE
LOWERED TEMPS JUST SLIGHTLY ELSEWHERE...BUT THAT SHOULD NOT MAKE
ANY IMPACT TO THE ZONES. UPDATED PRODUCTS WILL BE OUT SHORTLY.

TDP

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 715 AM EDT MON JUN 11 2012/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 353 AM EDT MON JUN 11 2012/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
GFS/NAM SIMILAR WITH BRINGING THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE FORECAST
AREA TODAY. SHOWERS INCREASING OVER THE AREA AT THIS TIME AND A
ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED AS WELL DURING THE DAY.
BIG DIFFERENCE WITH FORECAST MUCAPES BETWEEN THE GFS AND NAM BUT
EVEN THE NAM HAS ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS. WHILE
SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE
REASONABLE.

WITH THE UPPER TROUGH WEAKENING...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
DIMINISH TONIGHT.

A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO N GA LATE TUESDAY. THIS SHOULD
CAUSE A FLAIR UP OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MOSTLY IN
THE AFTERNOON.

FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES RUNNING NEAR 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
TODAY AND NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY. FORECAST LOW
TEMPERATURES RUNNING NEAR NORMAL TONIGHT.

OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM TO HIGH.

BDL

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODELS MAINTAIN SOME SEMBLANCE OF AN UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST U.S. THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. HOWEVER...MODELS HINTING
AT WEAK RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST THURSDAY/FRIDAY TIME
FRAME...BUT AT THE SAME TIME SHOW AN UPPER TROUGH STRENGTHEN
ALONG THE EAST COAST AND BUILDING WESTWARD. OVERALL...SHOULD SEE A
LESSENING OF PRECIP CHANCES AFTER TUESDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE NORTH. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
PUSHING ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE REMNANTS
SETTLING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA WEDNESDAY AND MEANDERING
ACROSS THAT AREA INTO FRIDAY. WITH THE FRONT IN THE AREA TUESDAY
NIGHT...CHANCE TO GOOD CHANCE POPS SEEM IN ORDER. WILL TREND
TOWARD LOWER POPS REST OF THE PERIOD WITH BEST CHANCES OVER
CENTRAL GEORGIA WITH REMNANTS OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY.
AS FOR TEMPS...LOOK FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS TO GENERALLY BE ABOVE
NORMAL INTO FRIDAY...BUT BACK TO MORE NORMAL LEVELS OVER THE
WEEKEND WITH MODELS SHOWING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WEDGING DOWN THE
APPALACHIANS AND EASTERLY FLOW SETTING UP OVER THE STATE.

49

HYDROLOGY...
FORECAST RAIN AMOUNTS TODAY/TONIGHT RUNNING IN THE 1/4 TO 1 INCH
RANGE AND 1/4 TO LESS THAN 1 INCH RANGE FOR TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT.
THESE AMOUNTS SHOULD BE HANDLED FINE BY AREA LAKES...STREAMS AND
CREEKS...UNLESS AN AREA THAT GOT HIT HARD SUNDAY GETS HIT HARD
TODAY. NO MORE THAN MINOR FLOODING WOULD BE EXPECTED TO THESE AREAS.

BDL

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
WIDESPREAD TSRA ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT CSG
AND MCN...BUT NORTHERN TAFS WILL MAINLY SEE SHRA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. HAVE CONTINUED TO INCLUDE TEMPO TSRA BUT CONFIDENCE IS
LOW. EXPECT TO SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION ON TUESDAY AS THE
FRONT APPROACHES...ESPECIALLY AS INSTABILITY INCREASES AFTER 18Z.
OTHERWISE...WINDS SHOULD REMAIN SOUTHWEST TO WEST...VRB AND GUSTY
NEAR THUNDERSTORMS. CIGS MAINLY MVFR THIS AFTERNOON BUT EXPECT
ANOTHER PERIOD OF IFR CIGS BETWEEN 06Z-14Z TUESDAY.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
HIGH ON WINDS.
MEDIUM ON CIGS THIS AFTERNOON.
HIGH ON IFR CONDITIONS TUESDAY MORNING...MEDIUM ON TIMING.
MEDIUM ON OCCURRENCE OF THUNDER THIS AFTERNOON...LOW ON IMPACTS TO ATL.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...
ISOLATED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY...WITH
ISOLATED STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE.

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER NORTHEAST ALABAMA WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEYS TODAY...PRODUCING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE STRONG.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORMS WILL BE HEAVY
RAIN...GUSTY WINDS AND OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING.

.DISCUSSION...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED AS A STRONG
UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEYS THROUGH
TONIGHT. CONVECTION ALREADY FIRING ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING
WILL LIMIT THE ACTIVITY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. IN
GENERAL...EXPECTING NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF A LINE FROM
COLUMBUS TO MACON TO SWAINSBORO. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED NORTH OF THIS LINE. WITH CAPE VALUES EXPECTED TO
INCREASE INTO THE 1000 TO 1500 RANGE THIS AFTERNOON...SOME OF THE
STORMS COULD BE STRONG PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS AND OCCASIONAL TO
FREQUENT LIGHTNING. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ABOVE 1.8
INCHES...IT IS POSSIBLE FOR RAINFALL RATES TO EXCEED 1 INCH PER
HOUR...WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS. WHILE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AT ANYTIME TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE BEST AREA THAT COULD SEE STRONG
STORMS WILL BE NORTH AND WEST GEORGIA.

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

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST INFORMATION AND BE READY FOR
POSSIBLE ACTIVATION THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING.
