NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
149 PM EST THU DEC 20 2012

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1049 AM EST THU DEC 20 2012/

UPDATE...
HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT UPDATES TO HOURLY GRIDS TO CAPTURE CURRENT
RADAR TRENDS. OVERALL...FRONT HIGH TAILING IT THROUGH THE
REGION...AND PRECIP ACTIVITY HAS ACCELERATED THIS MORNING.
INSTABILITY OVER MUCH OF THE AREA IS VIRTUALLY NON EXISTENT...AND
WHAT IS PRESENT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.
WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH CENTRAL GEORGIA CAREFULLY INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS...ESPECIALLY THE FAR SOUTHERN TIER...AS THIS AREA
HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS AS THE MAIN LINE
MOVES THROUGH DUE TO INCREASED INSTABILITY ACROSS THE REGION. AS
OF NOW...HAVE OPTED NOT TO BE INCLUDED WITH THE TORNADO WATCH
ISSUED EARLIER THIS MORNING...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO ANALYZE THE
ENVIRONMENT AS THE BOUNDARY APPROACHES.

WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GRIDS AS NEEDED...ESPECIALLY
POPS AND WX...AS THE PRECIP MOVES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. WILL
ALSO BE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS
BEHIND THE LINE AS COOLER AND DRIER AIR MOVES IN QUICKLY.

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
PRIMARY CONCERNS ARE TIMING OF PRECIP ONSET AND END TODAY/TONIGHT
CHC FOR SEVERE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND EXTENT AND INTENSITY
OF WIND EVENT TONIGHT THROUGH FRI NIGHT. WAA SHRA IN ADVANCE OF
SHORT WAVE ALREADY APPROACHING STATE LINE IN WC GA THIS MORNING.
LATEST RAP ANALYSIS SHOWS ONLY WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY EXTENDING
INTO SW 1/3RD OF ALABAMA AND NO LIGHTNING OBSERVED IN THE LAST FEW
HOURS. HAVE DELAYED ONSET OF OF SHRA TO 09-10Z AND SLT CHC TSRA
UNTIL 12Z. 00Z MODEL PROGS IN FAIR AGREEMENT THOUGH AGAIN THE NAM
IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND SBCAPE. 06Z NAM
HAS SBCAPE 250-400 J/KG SOUTH OF CSG TO MCN LINE WITH NO SBCAPE TO
THE NORTH. 00Z GFS AND ECMWF KEEP SBCAPE LESS THAN 200 J/KG ACROSS
ALL OF CWA. WILL HAVE TO WATCH MIDDLE GA CLOSE. VERY STRONG LOW
LEVEL VERTICAL WIND SHEAR /0-1KM BULK SHEAR NEAR 50KTS/ ALLOWS 06Z
NAM TO PROG 1.5-2.0 VALUES OF SIG TOR PARAMETER AT 00Z.
EXPERIMENTAL HIGH SHEAR-LOW CAPE SHERB PARAMETER FROM 06Z NAM ONLY
HAS 0.8-1.2 OVER MIDDLE GA. MAIN POINT IS IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH
INSTABILITY TO PRODUCE BRIEF MESOVORTICES CAPABLE OF WIND DAMAGE
OR A BRIEF TORNADO ...SIMILAR TO WHAT WE SAW MONDAY. TOTAL
RAINFALL WILL NOT BE TOO HIGH WITH AMOUNTS OF 0.5-1.0 INCHES.

SYSTEM WILL MOVE OUT QUICKLY TAKING PRECIP WITH IT. VERY STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND STRONG VERTICAL CAA AND RESULTING DEEP MIXING
ALLOWS FOR SIGNIFICANT WIND EVENT OVER MUCH OF CWA WITH GUSTS TO
35-40 MPH AND 45+ MPH IN MOUNTAINS. COULD BEGIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON
IN THE WAKE OF PRECIP BUT APPEARS BEST PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL SET UP
AROUND 22Z-00Z. GUIDANCE FOR WIND SPEEDS NOT TOO FAR OFF BUT COULD
GO A LITTLE HIGHER IF SYSTEM INTENSIFIES OR MIXING IS MORE THAN
FCST. IN EXPOSED/HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS OF NE GA...WILL SEE STRONG
WINDS PERSIST. 1-2KM AGL WINDS NOT EXPECTED TO WEAKEN MUCH OVER NE
GA UNTIL AFTER 12Z SAT. HAVE ADJUSTED ADVISORIES APPROPRIATELY AND
BROKE OUT NE GA COUNTIES INTO ITS OWN SEGMENT THROUGHOUT THE EVENT.

SNELSON

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AN H5 RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE REGION SATURDAY BRINGING DRIER AND MORE
STABLE AIR ALONG WITH A WARMING TREND. THIS RIDGE WILL BE SHORT
LIVED AS THE FLOW FLATTENS TO VERY PROGRESSIVE ZONAL FLOW BY SUNDAY.
THE FIRST SHORT WAVE IN A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
CWA LATE SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY. FROM THIS POINT TIMING OF THE SHORT
WAVES WILL BE TRICKY AS THE FLOW IS FAST AND THE MODELS APPEAR TO BE
HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME MAINTAINING CONTINUITY WITH IN THEMSELVES.
WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS BEGINNING SUNDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE POPS
THROUGH THE LONG TERM...FAVORING HIGHER POPS TOWARD MID WEEK AS BOTH
MODELS SHOWING A SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE CWA.

FIRE WEATHER...
WINDS WILL BE VERY GUSTY TONIGHT AND FRIDAY WITH 20FT WINDS OF 10-20
MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH. WILL ALSO SEE A 4 TO 5 HOUR PERIOD OF RH
BELOW 25 PCT ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON. FORTUNATELY
10HR FUELS WILL STILL BE WET ON FRIDAY FROM THE RAIN EXPECTED TODAY.
COOLER TEMPS AND LIMITED SUNSHINE WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO
DRY. NOT PLANNING ANY RED FLAG OR FIRE DANGER STATEMENTS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

..SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY PRIMARILY SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 20 AND STRONG WINDS REACHING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA ARE
EXPECTED BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY...

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL RACE THROUGH THE REGION TODAY.
INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO BE LIMITED...HOWEVER...THE PRESENCE OF
STRONG LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG DAMAGING WINDS OR PERHAPS A TORNADO WITH ANY STORMS
WHICH CAN DEVELOP ALONG OR JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. THE BEST
CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
20 IN GEORGIA WHERE INSTABILITY COULD BE HIGH ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
STRONGER STORMS.

VERY STRONG WINDS AND COLD AIR FILTERING INTO THE REGION TONIGHT
INTO TOMORROW BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL MAKE FOR BRISK
CONDITIONS. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20-25 MPH AND GUSTS OF 35-40 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER WINDS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF NORTH GEORGIA. WIND
ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FROM TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. WIND
CHILL VALUES TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID TEENS IN THE NORTH TO
MID 20S SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA. LOWER VALUES ARE
EXPECTED IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS OF NORTH GEORGIA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY ON THE BACK SIDE OF A
POTENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND WILL MAKE FOR A VERY BRISK DAY.
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20-25 MILES PER HOUR WITH GUSTS OF 35-40 MILES
PER HOUR WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA...WITH LOCALLY STRONGER WINDS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. WINDS ADVISORIES
WILL CONTINUE UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF THE
HEIGHTENED WINDS WITH COLD TEMPERATURES WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILL
VALUES RANGING FROM THE LOW TO MID TEENS IN NORTH GEORGIA TO NEAR
20 ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST INFORMATION THROUGH THIS
EVENING FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA.
