AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
209 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1218 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012/

UPDATE...
MAIN CONCERN TODAY IS THE HEAT AND CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. SO FAR THE TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN TRENDING AS
EXPECTED... WITH ONLY SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO RAISE DEWPOINTS
IN PARTS OF THE NORTH THIS AFTERNOON BASED ON LATEST BLENDED
GUIDANCE. THE 850MB TEMP FROM THE 12Z SOUNDING WAS A FEW DEGREES
LOWER THAN YESTERDAY AND CONSIDERING THE INCREASE CLOUD COVERAGE
IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS... MAX TEMPS LOOK REASONABLE AT ONLY
SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN THE EXTREME LEVELS SET YESTERDAY. RESULTANT
HEAT INDICES RANGING FROM 105-110 DEGREES FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE
AREA STILL SUPPORT THE CURRENT HEAT ADVISORY AND EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING OUT SO HAVE MADE NO CHANGES THERE. FOR CONVECTION... THE
CONSENSUS OF SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE SUPPORTS DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING MOSTLY NEAR THE SFC TROUGH DRAPED ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH PROGGED SREF
MUCAPE OF 2500-4000 J/KG AND BETTER CHANCE FOR AN INFLUENCE OF
LIFT FROM EITHER THE CONVERGENCE NEAR THE SFC TROUGH OR AN UPPER SHORTWAVE
LATER TODAY TO THE NORTHEAST... FOUND IT JUSTIFIED TO RAISE POPS
TO LOW END CHANCE LATE TODAY. WILL MONITOR LATEST HRRR RUNS TO
GET BETTER IDEA ON LOCATION FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT. WITH VERY WEAK
SHEAR IN PLACE AND BEING SO DRY BELOW 700MB... ANY STORM
DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE THE MAIN THREATS OF STRONG WINDS AND SMALL
HAIL. REST OF FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS...

PREV DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
/ISSUED 421 AM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012/

DANGEROUS HEAT WAVE CONTINUES...

WILL SEE THE HEAT WAVE CONTINUE AS THE 594DM RIDGE CONTINUES TO HOLD
STRONG ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST TODAY. EVEN THOUGH 850MB TEMPS TODAY
WILL BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY /WITHIN A HALF DEGREE/...WITH POTENTIAL
FOR INCREASED CLOUD COVERAGE AND SLIGHTLY LOWER THICKNESSES..EXPECT
MAX TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON TO BE A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER. NOT ENOUGH OF
A DIFFERENCE TO NOTICE THOUGH...ITS STILL HOT. WITH RIDGE WEAKENING
ON MONDAY AND 850MB TEMPS ABOUT 2 DEGREES COOLER...WILL SEE MAX
TEMPS DROP ANOTHER FEW DEGREES.

GFS AND NAM DEW POINTS FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND MONDAY APPEAR TO BE ON
THE HIGH SIDE. GIVEN OBSERVED DEW POINTS YESTERDAY IN THE 50S AND
EVEN SOME UPPER 40S...LOWERED DEWPOINTS FOR BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW.
BY DOING THIS THOUGH...SOME PLACES COME IN JUST BELOW THE 105 AND
110 HEAT INDEX CRITERIA FOR THE THE HEAT ADVISORY AND EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING...RESPECTIVELY. WITH UNCERTAINTY IN THE DEW POINT FORECAST
THOUGH...WENT AHEAD AND CONTINUED THE HEAT ADVISORY AND THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING FOR THE SAME AREAS. IN ADDITION...HAVE HEAT
INDICES IN THE 105-108 RANGE FOR MONDAY FOR SOME OF THE CWA SO WILL
ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY FOR ALL OF THE CWA EXCEPT FOR EXTREME NORTH
GEORGIA FOR MONDAY.

BESIDES THE HEAT...CONVECTION IS ALSO A CONCERN THROUGH THE SHORT
TERM. HAD A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POP UP YESTERDAY...AND NOT
JUST NEAR THE SFC TROUGH. WITH SFC TROUGH STILL IN PLACE ACROSS
CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND A SHORTWAVE TRACKING INTO THE CAROLINAS DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...THINK THERE IS A BETTER CHANCE
TODAY FOR CONVECTION ACROSS THE CWA THAN YESTERDAY SO INCLUDED
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE BOARD WITH CHANCE IN THE
MOUNTAINS...CLOSER TO THE SHORT WAVE. SPC HAS PARTS OF EAST CENTRAL
GEORGIA IN A SLIGHT RISK TODAY. THIS CORRESPONDS TO THE AREA WITH
THE BEST CAPE. FORECAST MIXED CAPE VALUES ARE IN EXCESS OF 4000
J/KG....SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS THERE YESTERDAY. PLENTY OF INSTABILITY
ACROSS THE WHOLE AREA BUT NO SHEAR. EVEN WITH HIGH
INSTABILITY...RIDGE WILL BE WORKING TO SUPPRESS THE CONVECTION SO
SHOULD HELP TO LIMIT SEVERITY. COULD SEE A SEVERE STORM THOUGH AND
MAIN THREAT WOULD BE DAMAGING WIND. WITH CONTINUED WEAKENING OF UPPER
RIDGE AND SHORTWAVE APPROACHING THE CAROLINAS AGAIN ON MONDAY...HAD
TO INCLUDE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS...BUT BEST CHANCES APPEAR TO BE AFTER
00Z TUESDAY...IN THE LONG TERM.

11

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
/ISSUED 421 AM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012/

BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL FEATURE THE GRADUAL
BREAKDOWN FROM NORTH TO SOUTH OF HISTORY MAKING MID LEVEL RIDGE.
WILL BEGIN TO SEE IMPULSES TRAVERSING THE NORTHERN ZONES ALTHOUGH
DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THESE PRECISELY DUE TO FEEDBACK ISSUES AT
TIMES. LOOKS AS THOUGH FIRST IN A SERIES MOVES OUT OF THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY AND INTO THE CAROLINAS MONDAY NIGHT WITH
TRAJECTORY SUGGESTING MOST ACTIVITY REMAINING OUTSIDE OF THE AREA
ALTHOUGH HAVE INCLUDED LOW END CHANCE POPS FOR THE NORTHEAST
MOUNTAINS. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES IN WED AFTERNOON AND AGAIN ON
THU EVENING ENHANCING POP CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA. GIVEN
UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING AND THE CONTINUED PRESENCE IN SOME MID LEVEL
DRY AIR...HAVE KEPT POPS IN THE LOW END CHANCE RANGE FOR NOW.

DESPITE THE BREAKDOWN OF RIDGE...WILL CONTINUE TO SEE TEMPS IN THE
UPPER 90S OVER EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA. THIS COMBINED WITH DEWPOINTS
MUCH HIGHER THAN RECENT DAYS AND HEAT INDICES COULD REMAIN AN
ISSUE WELL INTO NEXT WEEK.

DEESE

.FIRE WEATHER...
/ISSUED 421 AM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012/
FORECAST DEW POINTS ARE LOWER THAN THE MODELS...BUT THIS IS
CONSISTENT WITH EXPECTED CONDITIONS AND OBSERVED VALUES FROM
YESTERDAY. WITH LOWERED DEW POINTS FORECAST TO DROP INTO THE MID
50S ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA TODAY...RH VALUES WILL DROP BELOW 25
PERCENT FOR FOUR OR MORE HOURS. FUELS ARE DRY SO HAVE ISSUED A
FIRE DANGER STATEMENT FOR THIS AFTERNOON FOR NORTH AND PARTS OF
CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH TAF PERIOD. MOST NORTHERN SITES
APART FROM KATL HAVE BEEN HAVING VRB LIGHT WINDS THIS AFTERNOON
HOWEVER THEY ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME NNW TO NW AND STAY UNDER
10KTS. KATL HAS BEEN MOSTLY NNW BUT HAS HAD INTERMITTENT VRB
PERIODS. THIS SHOULD ALSO MAINLY STAY NNW TO NW THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. CIGS LOOK TO STAY MOSTLY ABOVE 15KFT WITH FEW070
POTENTIALLY THIS LATE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING. SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING... BUT TOO LOW OF CHANCE ATTM TO INCLUDE MENTION IN TAFS.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL TODAY.
HIGH CONFIDENCE ON ALL ELSE.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA TODAY. ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE.
HIGH FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER NORTH AND MOST OF
CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
THROUGH TONIGHT BUT A SURFACE TROUGH WILL PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARD WILL BE DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES ALTHOUGH
THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
THIS AFTERNOON. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING STRONG WIND GUSTS AND OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING.

.DISCUSSION...
RECORD BREAKING TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TODAY WITH AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE 102-106 RANGE AND HEAT INDICES FROM
105 TO 112. WITH THESE DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES...THE HEAT
ADVISORY AND EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING HAVE BEEN CONTINUED. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO STAY IN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOMS AND TO STAY HYDRATED.
FOR SAFETY TIPS VISIT WEATHER.GOV/ATLANTA. FOR DETAILS ON THE HEAT
ADVISORY AND EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING SEE NPWFFC.

SLIGHTLY INCREASED MOISTURE...EXTREMELY HIGH INSTABILITY AND A SURFACE
TROUGH WILL PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GIVEN THE VERTICALLY STACKED NATURE OF
THE EXPECTED STORMS...SIGNIFICANT HAIL WILL BE DIFFICULT TO REACH
THE SURFACE IF IT IS ABLE TO FORM AT ALL. WINDS WILL BE THE
PRIMARY THREAT AS PRECIPITATION LOADING WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASED
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG GUSTS IN THE STRONGER STORMS WHICH ARE ABLE
TO DEVELOP.

VERY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTH AND
MOST OF CENTRAL GEORGIA. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER
TO MID 20S. WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL RANGE FROM 5 TO 10 MPH
WITH GUSTS TO 15 MPH. THE DRY AIR AND LOW FUEL MOISTURE VALUES
WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
THE HEAT WAVE WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY WITH A HEAT ADVISORY
ALREADY IN EFFECT.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALL OF NORTH AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED
TO SUBMIT REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEB BY GOING TO
WEATHER.GOV/ATLANTA.
