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

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MAIN CONCERNS ARE THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THIS EVENING AND HEAT
AGAIN ON MONDAY. CONVECTION HAS BEEN RAPIDLY DEVELOPING DUE TO LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG LEE SFC TROUGH. HRRR FAILED TO CAPTURE THIS
EARLIER DURING THE DAY WHILE THE WRF AND NAM SUGGESTED DEVELOPMENT.
HAVE INCREASED TO CHANCE POPS ACROSS WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS
OF CENTRAL GEORGIA. WITH MUCAPE UP TO 4000 J/KG AND WEAK SHEAR WITH
DRY LOW LEVELS... STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS AND SMALL HAIL ARE THE MAIN
THREATS WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT. IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO LAST MUCH
LONGER AFTER WE LOSE DAYTIME HEATING... BUT ANY GENERATED OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES WILL LIKELY TRIGGER ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT INTO THE
EVENING. THERE MAY BE A SIMILAR SITUATION MONDAY AFTERNOON AS THE
SFC TROUGH LOOKS TO LINGER ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA WITH AMPLE INSTABILITY IN PLACE AGAIN. WHILE SPC HAD MUCH OF
THE AREA UNDER A SLIGHT RISK TODAY... ONLY THE FAR EAST CENTRAL PART
OF THE AREA IS SLIGHTED MONDAY... HOWEVER WE MAY HAVE STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS AGAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON.

FOR TEMPS... WHILE TEMPS TODAY HAVE BEEN A BIT HIGHER THAN
EXPECTED... GUIDANCE STILL HAS SLIGHT DECREASE IN MAX TEMPS FOR
MONDAY. USED A BLEND OF MAV AND MET WITH MINOR TWEAKS TO PREVIOUS
TRENDS. MONDAY SHOULD STILL HAVE THE SIMILAR SYNOPTIC SETUP OF THE
BROAD UPPER RIDGE AXIS STAYING OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND WEAK
UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES TRACKING ALONG NW FLOW ALOFT NEAR THE
CAROLINAS. ALTHOUGH PROGGED 850MB TEMPS LOOK TO BE SEVERAL DEGREES
LOWER THAN TODAY... DEWPOINTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER AND HEAT
INDICES OF 105-110 DEGREES FOR MOST AREAS WILL STILL WARRANT AT
LEAST THE HEAT ADVISORY. AREAS IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST MAY REACH HEAT
INDICES OF 110-113 DEGREES THEREFORE A POSSIBLE EXTENSION OF THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MAY BE NEEDED IN FUTURE UPDATES.

BAKER

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SOME RELIEF HERE AS THE UPPER HIGH THAT WAS CENTERED OVER THE STATE
WILL BREAK DOWN THE REST OF THE WEEK AS LARGE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS
OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS AND TROUGHING DEVELOPS OVER THE NORTHEAST.
WILL NOT QUITE GET INTO THE STRONGER NORTHWESTERLIES WHILE IN THIS
PATTERN BUT WILL SEE A WEAK FRONT MEANDER THROUGH THE AREA ON THURS.
EVEN WITHOUT FRONT...ISOLD DIURNAL CONVECTION EXPECTED EACH
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...ESP AS MEAN RH INCREASES ON THURS.
PREV FCST NO TOO FAR OFF. DID INCREASE MAX TEMPS A LITTLE ON TUES
AND WED AS CLIMATOLOGY MAY BE PULLING DOWN GUIDANCE TEMPS A LITTLE
TOO MUCH. HEAT INDICES MAY ALSO REMAIN A PROBLEM ON TUES IF DEW
POINTS DONT MIX OUT. WILL NEED TO WATCH THIS AS AN ADVISORY MAY NEED
TO BE CONTINUED. HAVENT FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE TROPICS EITHER. ATLANTIC
BASIN LOOKS QUIET PER THE 00Z ECMWF AND 12Z GFS...SOME ACTION LIKELY
IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC BUT WILL HAVE NO EFFECT HERE.

SNELSON

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
HIGH FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING FOR NORTH
AND MOST OF CENTRAL GEORGIA DUE TO LOW RH VALUES. THE LOWEST RH
VALUES LOOK TO REMAIN CLOSER TO 30 PERCENT MONDAY AFTERNOON AND
WINDS SHOULD STAY 10 MPH OR LESS...THEREFORE NO HAZARDOUS FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ATTM. ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPS OR
DEWPOINTS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR MONDAY.

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
