Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 7:35 PM EDT, 1 hour 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 735 PM EDT WED JUL 18 2012 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... UPPER LOW SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WAS LOCATED OVER EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN HELPING TO KEEP INCREASED MOISTURE ACROSS THE CWA AND THUS ENHANCING OUR COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION. OVERNIGHT...THE UPPER LOW IS PROGGED TO OPEN INTO A TROUGH OVER THE CWA THAT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...THUS EXPECT THE ACTIVE PATTERN TO CONTINUE. SFC TROUGH ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WILL WEAKEN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE CWA...DIURNAL HEATING AND UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES MOVING ACROSS THE CWA...EXPECT CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING TODAY AND THURSDAY AND SLIGHT CHANCE OVERNIGHT. WITH UPPER LEVEL FEATURE ACROSS THE AREA..CONVECTION HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HIGH MUCAPE VALUES AGAIN TOMORROW WITH THE GFS FORECASTING AROUND 3000 J/KG. WITH FORCING AND HIGH INSTABILITY...ISOLATED SVR IS A POSSIBILITY AGAIN ON THURSDAY. 12Z FFC SOUNDING SHOWED PWS OF 2 INCHES. EXPECT SIMILAR VALUES AGAIN ON THURSDAY SO WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL WITH SLOW MOVING STORMS. MAX TEMPS ARE CLOSER TO THE MAV ON THURSDAY. THINK THE MET WAS A LITTLE TOO LOW AND GIVEN SOME SUN EXPECTED TOMORROW SHOULD SEE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S. MIN TEMPS ARE CLOSE TO MAV/MET BLEND. 11 && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... LATEST GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE INFLUENCING FEATURES THROUGHOUT THE LONG TERM... HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE EXTENT OF THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE FIELD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AS HIGH PRESSURE FILTERS BACK INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHEAST COAST... THE GFS KEEPS MUCH OF THE HIGHER LAYER RH VALUES ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND ALSO ADVECTS IN A SLUG OF TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH BY MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THE ECMWF SUGGESTS MUCH OF THE NORTHERN MOISTURE WILL BE PUSHED NORTH OF THE AREA AS THE HIGH BUILDS IN AND HAS MUCH LESS IMPRESSIVE TROPICAL MOISTURE COMING IN FROM THE SOUTH. THIS WILL BE SOMETHING TO MONITOR IN FUTURE MODEL SOLUTIONS...HOWEVER DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN FORECAST THIS FAR OUT...HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE CURRENT FORECAST WHICH LOOKS LIKE A REASONABLE COMPROMISE IN ASSOCIATED CHANCE POPS FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA. RAISED MAX TEMPS A BIT ON WEDNESDAY PER LATEST MEX GUIDANCE. ALL ELSE APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK...MADE NO OTHER CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... 03 LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... /ISSUED AT 350 AM EDT WED JUL 18 2012/ EXTENDED PERIOD MODEL AGREEMENT DECENT WITH REMAINS OF UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH POSITIONED ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA ON FRIDAY AS SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE CAROLINAS. THIS LOW WILL CONTINUALLY ADD MOISTURE TO AN ALREADY MOIST ENVIRONMENT...AND EXPECTING GOOD PRECIP COVERAGE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. AS A RESULT...HAVE GONE WITH LIKELY POPS NORTH...DIMINISHING TO GOOD CHANCE POPS FURTHER SOUTH. BY SATURDAY...FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING OUT OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...KEEPING AMPLE MOISTURE ALIGNED ALONG THE FRONT. HAVE GONE WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE MIDDLE CWA...HIGHLIGHTING FRONT PROGRESSION. THIS AREA OF LIKELY POPS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS SATURDAY APPROACHES DUE TO MODEL UNCERTAINTY WITH TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE BOUNDARY. FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...ENHANCED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO BE COUPLED WITH DIURNAL HEATING...SO HAVE DIMINISHED POPS SOMEWHAT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC ATTEMPTS TO NOSE BACK INTO THE REGION...WITH THE FLOW AROUND THE RIDGE PULLING GULF MOISTURE INTO THE STATE. MEANWHILE...MODELS SHOWING ANOTHER SHORTWAVE PUSHING INTO THE REGION WITH LEE SIDE SURFACE TROUGH SETTING UP ALONG THE APPALACHIANS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. AS A RESULT OF THESE FEATURES...HAVE GENERALLY GONE WITH CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...MODELS CONSISTENT WITH SHOWING COOLER 850MB TEMPERATURES...SOMEWHERE IN THE 16.5 TO 17.5 RANGE...INTO THE WEEKEND...AND WITH INCREASED PRECIP ACTIVITY AND PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER...HAVE TENDED TOWARDS SLIGHTLY COOLER AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO SEASONAL NORMS. BY NEXT WEEK...WITH FLOW OFF THE NORTHERN GULF ANTICIPATED BY MONDAY...850MB TEMPS WARM 2-2.5C...AND HAVE GONE WITH LOW 90 HIGHS MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WITH THE MOIST ENVIRONMENT PERSISTING THROUGH THE WEEK...HEAVY RAIN STILL REMAINS A THREAT IN CONVECTION. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING NEAR 2.0 INCH PWS INTO THE WEEKEND.

ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM REMAINS OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA TODAY. COMBINED WITH THE ALREADY WARM...MOIST...AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT...THIS LOW WILL SUPPORT NUMEROUS SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. .PRIMARY HAZARDS... THE PRIMARY HAZARDS WILL BE HEAVY RAIN...DAMAGING WINDS...AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. SMALL HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE. THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR DEVELOPMENT WILL BE BETWEEN NOON AND 10 PM. .DISCUSSION... AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL REMAIN ACROSS SOUTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA TODAY. THE COMBINATION OF THIS ADDED ENERGY WITH THE ALREADY MOIST AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL ALLOW SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP TODAY. CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 1800 AND 2800 J/KG ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AS DAYTIME HEATING ALLOWS THE ATMOSPHERE TO BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE. SOME STRONG STORMS CAN BE EXPECTED...AND ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE A PRIMARY THREAT IN CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY SLOW MOVING STORMS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 1.8 INCHES...AND K-INDEX VALUES IN THE UPPER 30S SUPPORT THIS HEAVY RAIN THREAT. PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND RISES OF SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS CAN BE EXPECTED IN AREAS OF HEAVY DOWNPOURS. DAMAGING WIND IS ALSO A THREAT WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
