Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 3:17 PM EDT, 3 hours 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
317 PM EDT TUE JUL 10 2012

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
LONGWAVE TROUGH REMAINS ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS WITH MAIN AXIS JUST
WEST OF THE CWA. STATIONARY FRONT STILL REMAINS ACROSS SOUTHERN
TN/NC...JUST NORTH OF THE CWA. FRONT WILL MEANDER ACROSS THE TN
VALLEY AND FAR NORTH GEORGIA THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. WITH DEWPOINTS
IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S...DAYTIME HEATING...MUCAPE VALUES
AROUND 2000 TO 2500 J/KG...DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION IS EXPECTED
EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. WITH THE
STATIONARY BOUNDARY MEANDERING AROUND SOUTHERN TN/FAR NORTH
GA...EXPECT ENHANCED COVERAGE ACROSS THE AREA AND THUS HAVE SHOWN
LIKELY POPS EACH AFTERNOON ACROSS THAT AREA. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
ALSO HELP CONVECTION LAST LONGER THAN TYPICALLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN
CONVECTION...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THE STORMS TO LAST ALL NIGHT.

ALTHOUGH SHEAR IS NEAR ZERO...WITH HIGH CAPE...SIMILAR 500MB TEMPS
TO TODAY AND RECENT TRENDS...ISOLATED SEVERE WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH
DAY IN THE SHORT TERM. HPC SHOWS TWO DAY RAINFALL TOTALS OF ONE TO
TWO INCHES ACROSS FAR NORTH GEORGIA AND TAPERS DOWN TO ABOUT A
QUARTER OF AN INCH ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA. ONE HOUR FFG VALUES ARE
ABOUT ONE AND A QUARTER TO TWO INCHES ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. AT THIS
POINT...WOULDNT EXPECT WIDESPREAD FLOODING WITH PREVIOUSLY DRY
CONDITIONS AND OVERALL MOVEMENT OF STORMS...BUT WITH TRAINING...CANT
RULE OUT AN ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING EVENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

TEMPS CLOSER TO THE WARMER MAV ON WEDNESDAY WHEREAS OVERNIGHT LOWS
ARE CLOSE TO A MAV/MET BLEND.

11

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ALTHOUGH MODELS ARE TRYING TO LIFT THE BOUNDARY NORTHWARD
THURSDAY...WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA FROM MID
MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH CHANCE POPS ACROSS CENTRAL GA.
LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES AND GUIDANCE IN AGREEMENT ON MAX TEMPS
IN THE 80S/LOW 90S. FOR THE REST OF THE LONG TERM...NO CHANGES
PLANNED AND PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/ISSUED 505 AM EDT TUE JUL 10 2012/
NO BIG CHANGES TO LONG TERM PATTERN. SURFACE BOUNDARY REMAINS
STALLED ACROSS GEORGIA FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD WHILE A TROUGH
CONTINUES FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE GULF.
ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND LIFT SHOULD AID CONVECTION THROUGH THE WEEK
MAINLY FAVORING THE NORTHERN SECTIONS. BY THE WEEKEND THE UPPER
RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD WESTWARD INTO GEORGIA AND THE CAROLINAS WITH
THE ECMWF SHOWING A STRONGER RIDGE HOLDING THROUGH MONDAY. SO HAVE
LOWERED POPS A BIT FOR SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

41/17

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
CONVECTION HAS ALREADY STARTED ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA AND CHANCE OF
TSRA WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 05-06Z...ALTHOUGH CHANCE IS LOWER FOR
MCN AND CSG THEN FOR THE NORTHERN SITES. ALTHOUGH HAVE SHOWN TEMPO
INCREASING TO PREDOMINANT TSRA AT THE NORTHERN TAF SITES...CHANCES
ARE FAIRLY EQUAL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND SHOULD SEE ON AND OFF
THUNDERSTORMS RATHER THAN CONSISTENT TSRA. EXPECT VRB AND GUSTY
WINDS WITH TSRA. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM WEST TO EAST TOMORROW
MORNING AT ATL BUT SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON CIGS AND VSBYS DUE TO TSRA. HIGH CONFIDENCE
ON WIND EXCEPT LOW CONFIDENCE NEAR TSRA AND IN THE MORNING. LOW
CONFIDENCE ON TIMING OF CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON.
