.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1000 AM EDT THU AUG 9 2012/

UPDATE...
APPROACHING SHORT WAVE WILL ALLOW FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS
TODAY WITH GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING EXPECTED. SOME STORMS
LIKELY TO GET STRONG AND POSSIBLY LOW END SEVERE.
BDL

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THE SHORT TERM WILL BE DOMINATED BY A MID LEVEL LOW THAT SETS UP
OVER THE GREAT LAKES...WHICH BEGINS AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE WAVE
WORKING ITS WAY AROUND THE LONG WAVE TROUGH INITIALLY CENTERED
OVER EASTERN CANADA. AS THE WAVE DIGS TOWARD THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES...IT CUTS OFF AND DEEPENS INTO THE AFOREMENTIONED MID LEVEL
LOW. GENERAL TROUGHINESS CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE EASTERN THIRD
OF THE COUNTRY...BETWEEN RIDGES CENTERED OVER THE ATLANTIC AND
DESERT SOUTHWEST. AS THE WAVE INITIALLY PUSHES TOWARD THE GREAT
LAKES...IT PUSHES A SHORTWAVE AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST. AS THE LOW CUTS OFF AND DEEPENS ON FRIDAY...A SURFACE
LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND WILL OCCLUDE DURING THE DAY
ON FRIDAY...AND AS A MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE DEVELOPS...THE
ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT MOVES TOWARD NORTH GEORGIA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT...WHILE THE NAM
IS A LITTLE SLOWER AND A LITTLE DEEPER WITH THE GREAT LAKES LOW.
WITHOUT SUPPORT FROM THE OTHER GUIDANCE FOR THE NAM...HAVE LEANED
MORE TOWARD THE GFS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.

PW VALUES HAVE DROPPED BACK TO NEAR 1.5 INCHES FROM THE 2+ INCHES WE
HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. ADDITIONALLY...AS
ERNESTO CONTINUES TO MOVE INLAND AND THE ATLANTIC RIDGE STRENGTHENS
TOWARD THE GULF...WE BEGIN TO LOSE THE DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE
FEED...AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING BEFORE THE NEXT SLUG OF MOISTURE
IN THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN MOVES UP TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST. FOR TODAY...
THE SHORTWAVE SHOULD INDUCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BUT HAVE LEFT
POPS AT HIGH CHANCE AT BEST FOR THIS AFTERNOON. CAPES REMAIN THE
HIGHEST...AROUND 2000 J/KG...ACROSS SOUTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA SO
HAVE THE HIGHEST POPS IN SOUTHERN ZONES. CANNOT RULE OUT STRONG TO
AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM ESPECIALLY IN THAT AREA TODAY. AS HAS BEEN
THE CASE THE PAST FEW DAYS...MET GUIDANCE REMAINS ON THE COOL SIDE
AND WITH THE MASS FIELDS...HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE SLIGHTLY WARMER
MAV FOR HIGHS TODAY.

THE MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE ALONG WITH THE SURFACE FRONT MOVE
INTO NORTH GEORGIA FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH THE STRONGER
LOW ON THE NAM...MET POPS ARE HIGHER THAN MAV BUT GIVEN OVERALL
AGREEMENT IN THE GENERAL PICTURE AS WELL AS WIDESPREAD POPS AND PW
VALUES INCREASING AGAIN TO NEAR 2 INCHES...HAVE BROUGHT LIKELY POPS
ACROSS THE AREA. WITH WEAK DEEP LAYER SHEAR PUSHING INTO NORTH
GEORGIA AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE AND MODERATE CAPES OF ABOUT 1500
J/KG...THE CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES SOMEWHAT AND SPC
HAS PUT AREAS NORTHEAST OF ATLANTA IN A DAY2 SLIGHT RISK. HOWEVER...
BEST SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE FURTHER NORTHEAST CLOSER TO THE
SURFACE AND UPPER LOW. THERE IS A MORE MARKED DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PROGGED HIGH TEMPS ON THURSDAY...WITH THE MET AGAIN ON THE COOLER
SIDE. HAVE AGAIN LEANED TOWARD THE WARMER MAV. THE MORE NOTICEABLE
CHANGE WILL COME FRIDAY NIGHT INTO NORTH GEORGIA BEHIND THE FRONT...
AS DEWPOINTS DROP INTO THE LOWER 60S. THIS DRIER AIR WILL START A
TREND OF COOLER NIGHTS AND MUCH MORE PLEASANT AFTERNOONS. SEE
EXTENDED DISCUSSION BELOW.

TDP

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MUCH CHANGE IN THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN
EXPECTED NEXT WEEK. LONG WAVE TROUGH STILL PROGGED TO REMAIN OVER
THE ERN CONUS ALBEIT WITH SMALLER AMPLITUDE. SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED
FRONT DISCUSSED ABOVE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE STATE SAT AND SAT
NIGHT WITH FAIRLY WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA. SPC DAY 3 OUTLOOK IS
PEGGING PARTS OF CWA FOR SLT RISK OF SVR STORMS...WHICH IS
UNCOMMON TO BE MENTIONED THAT FAR OUT. HOPEFUL THAT CLOUDS AND
SOME MORNING PRECIP WILL KEEP INSTABILITY UNDER CONTROL HOWEVER
WITH COOLER MID LEVEL TEMPS...WILL NOT TAKE MUCH HEATING TO GET
THINGS GOING. MAIN THREATS WOULD BE DAMAGING WIND AND LIGHTNING
WITH SOME HAIL UP TO 1.5 INCHES POSSIBLE.

AFTER FROPA SHOULD REMAIN QUIET WITH NEAR NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPS
AND COOL NIGHTTIME TEMPS UNTIL MON/TUE WHEN ANOTHER SHORT WAVE
PASSING THROUGH THE MIDWEST IN MDTLY STRONG WESTERLIES WILL SWEEP
ANOTHER FRONT INTO THE AREA. ONLY HAVE SLT CHC TO CHC POPS SO FAR
AS AMPLITUDE OF THIS WAVE MUCH SMALLER THAN UPCOMING ONE FOR THIS
WEEKEND. VERY GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN 00Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF AND
THEIR ENSEMBLE MEANS SO OVERALL FCST CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH.
MODELS ALSO NOT INDICATING ANY POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL
ACTIVITY IN THE ATLANTIC.

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
MAIN CONCERN WILL BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED. OTHERWISE VFR
CEILINGS EXPECTED. SURFACE WINDS SSW LESS THAN 10 KTS AWAY FROM
STORM ACTIVITY. WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR POSSIBLE IFR/MVFR CEILINGS
TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVER NORTH GEORGIA.

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE TOWARD THE STATE
LATE TODAY. DEEP MOISTURE AND LIFT AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER MUCH OF THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARDS FROM ANY THUNDERSTORM THAT DEVELOPS WILL BE
FREQUENT LIGHTNING...WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.
THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE BETWEEN NOON
AND 10 PM.

.DISCUSSION...
IN SPITE OF INCREASING CLOUD COVER TODAY...COOLER TEMPERATURES
ALOFT AND RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALLOW INSTABILITY TO BECOME
FAIRLY HIGH THIS AFTERNOON. CAPE VALUES WILL REACH 1500 TO 2000
J/KG. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL REMAIN WEAK SO ANY STORM THAT
DEVELOPS WILL REMAIN DISORGANIZED. HOWEVER...STORMS MAY STILL
BECOME BRIEFLY SEVERE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTCENTRAL AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA. IN ADDITION...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE HIGH
TODAY WITH VALUES AROUND 1.8 INCHES. STORMS WILL MOVE SLOWLY TODAY
AND SOME AREAS MAY RECEIVE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD
OF TIME WHICH COULD RESULT IN MINOR FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
MOVE CLOSER TO THE STATE FRIDAY...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED OVER MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL WITH SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE.
THE FRONT WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND KEEP
CONDITIONS STABLE THROUGH MONDAY...AFTER WHICH ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.
