AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
102 AM EST WED DEC 26 2012

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 737 PM EST TUE DEC 25 2012/

.SEVERE STORMS INCLUDING A FEW TORNADOES LIKELY TONIGHT/EARLY WED
MORNING...

.UPDATE...
MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE AHEAD OF COLD FRONT IS PROGRESSING QUICKER
THAN ANTICIPATED ACROSS CENTRAL AL THIS EVENING AND ARE NOW
LOOKING AT POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THREAT BEGINNING NEAR 03Z IN
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. SOME DISCRETE CELLS SHOWING
SIGNS OF ROTATION HAVE BEEN TRACKING MOSTLY NORTHWARD ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN AL NEAR THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE WARM SECTOR. BASED
ON PROGGED SHORT RANGE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS... THE SOUTHWESTERN
PORTION OF CENTRAL GA LOOKS TO HAVE THE BETTER INSTABILITY
TONIGHT POTENTIALLY GETTING UP TO 500 J/KG OF MUCAPE...WHILE A
LINGERING HYBRID CAD DOME HAS PRIMARILY SERVED TO LIMIT
INSTABILITY FARTHER NORTHWARD. EARLIER SHOWER DEVELOPMENT DURING
THE DAY MAY HAVE REINFORCED THIS FEATURE AND WILL MONITOR
CONDITIONS CLOSELY. ALL CONSIDERED... BELIEVE BEST CHANCE FOR
ISOLATED TORNADO POTENTIAL WILL BE SOUTHERN/SOUTHWESTERN TIER
MAINLY SOUTH OF COLUMBUS AND MACON. MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO POP/WX
GRIDS BASED ON PROGRESSION OF AFOREMENTIONED CONVECTION.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 PM EST TUE DEC 25 2012/

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
INGREDIENTS STILL COMING TOGETHER FOR NOCTURNAL SEVERE WEATHER EVENT
AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. 12Z RUNS HAVE CONTINUED TREND OF MORE
FAVORABLE PARAMETERS. 0-1KM BULK SHEAR OF 45-55KT NOW IN BOTH NAM
AND GFS...THOUGH THESE ARE SOMEWHAT EAST OF BEST MOISTURE/CAPE AXIS.
IN SPITE OF THIS...FCST SIG TOR PARAMETER VALUES ARE NOW 1.5-2.5 IN
GFS AND 4-5 WITH THE NAM. TORNADO THREAT IS QUITE HIGH FOR A COOL
SEASON QLCS EVENT.

TIMING ON GFS AND ECMWF HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY BACK TO BETTER MATCH
THE SLOWER NAM. LATEST HRRR NOW SIMILAR TO GFS TIMING. DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY IN MODELS AND WHETHER ANY PREFRONTAL STORM ACTIVITY WILL
DEVELOP...HAVE NOT TWEAKED TIMING BACK TOO MUCH.  TOTAL RAINFALL
STILL HARD PRESSED TO EXCEED 2 INCHES. NO SIGNIFICANT FLOODING
PROBLEMS EXPECTED.

AFTER FRONT PASSES...PRECIP SHOULD END QUICKLY. WILL BE ISSUING A
WIND ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA BUT STARTING A LITTLE SOONER IN
THE MOUNTAINS AS LOW LEVEL FLOW OF 50KTS COULD MIX DOWN TO HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. ALSO HAVE CONTINUED SLT CHC/CHC RAIN/SNOW SHOWER MIX
OVER PARTS OF FAR NE GA WED NIGHT. SHOULD NOT SEE ANY ACCUMULATION.

REST OF FCST LOOKS GOOD. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST BEGINS WITH WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE FROM THE BACK SIDE OF THE EXITING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
ACROSS N GA. COOLER AIR WILL ALSO BE FILTERING INTO THE STATE BUT IT
LOOKS LIKE THE BETTER MOISTURE WILL STAY FAR ENOUGH NORTH THAT IT
SHOULD NOT CAUSE ANY WINTER PRECIP ACROSS THE N GA MOUNTAINS THU
NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN THURSDAY WITH MOISTURE
BEGINNING TO RETURN TO THE REGION FRIDAY. MOISTURE BEGINS PUSHING IN
AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM WHICH WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIP TO THE
STATE FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY. THIS NEXT SYSTEM DOES NOT LOOK AS
STRONG AS THE ONE THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT...SO WILL CONTINUE
WITH ONLY SHOWERS FOR NOW. THE MODELS SHOW THIS SECOND SYSTEM MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA VERY FAST WITH THE RAIN MOVING INTO W GA AROUND 06Z
SAT AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM EXITING THE EAST SIDE OF THE STATE BY 18Z
SAT. A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN BEHIND THIS SECOND
SYSTEM AND IT LOOKS TO KEEP NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA DRY SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.

.HYDROLOGY...
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE REMAINS IN THE 1.5/2.5/3.0 FOR 1H 3H 6H
GUIDANCE RESPECTIVELY. THESE ARE SLIGHTLY REDUCED VALUES WITH RECENT
RAINS BUT LIKELY NOT SUFFICIENT FOR SIGNIFICANT FLOODING CONCERNS
GIVEN INITIAL LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN AHEAD OF SYSTEM AND THEN
RAPID MOVEMENT OF COLD FRONT ONCE CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED BANDS SET
UP. STILL WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORING THE NEXT 24 HOUR FOR ANY
SHORT FUSE RIVER AND STREAM WARNINGS PRIMARILY.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z UPDATE...
IFR TO NEAR HIGH END LIFR CIGS CONTINUE TO LINGER ACROSS MOST SITES
TONIGHT. HEIGHTS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR LEVELS NEAR 1500-2500 FT
AFTER 08Z FROM THE WEST...AND ARE LIKELY TO LINGER ON INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. AREA OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO
PUSH EAST TONIGHT...WHILE BEST CHANCE FOR TSRA LOOKS TO BE SOUTH
NEAR KCSG AND KMCN...AND RA TO -SHRA LIKELY FARTHER NORTH THOUGH
CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED THUNDER. OVERNIGHT WINDS SE NEAR 12 KTS
GUSTING TO 20 KTS WITH POSSIBLE HIGHER VALUES FROM ANY STORM
DEVELOPMENT. MOST PRECIP SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE SITES FROM ABOUT
10-12Z. WESTERLY WINDS OF NEAR 20 KTS WITH STRONG GUSTS OF 30-35
KTS ARE POSSIBLE FOR MOST SITES FROM ABOUT 17-01Z. VSBYS OF 4-6 SM
OVERNIGHT WITH POSSIBLY LOWER IN PRECIP AREAS... THEN P6SM AFTER
ABOUT 11Z.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON ENDING TIME FOR PRECIPITATION.
HIGH CONFIDENCE ALL ELSE.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT...
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY FOR MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA
TONIGHT...

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...
ISOLATED TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS...AND LARGE HAIL TONIGHT.

DISCUSSION...
A STRONG STORM SYSTEM CONTINUED TO DEVELOP OVER THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND WILL BRING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. A VERY STRONG SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
CENTER WILL MOVE FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE
TENNESSEE/KENTUCKY BORDER BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. AN ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. INSTABILITY AND VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION AND WILL BE ENOUGH FOR
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP...MAINLY ACROSS WESTERN
GEORGIA BETWEEN 11 PM TONIGHT AND 5 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND
ACROSS EASTERN GEORGIA BETWEEN 5 AM AND NOON WEDNESDAY.

AT THIS TIME...THE MAIN CONCERNS WILL BE ISOLATED TORNADOES AS
WELL AS STRONG DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH ALTHOUGH THERE
IS A HAIL THREAT AS WELL. IN ADDITION...ANTECEDENT RAINFALL IN
COMBINATION WITH THE CHRISTMAS NIGHT STORM SYSTEM COULD LEAD TO A
FEW RIVERS MAINLY OVER NORTH GEORGIA REACHING BANK FULL. AS THIS
IS A DEVELOPING SITUATION PLEASE STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST UPDATES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
THE SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE ONGOING WEDNESDAY MORNING AND FOCUSED
MAINLY ON EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. ISOLATED
TORNADOES...60 MPH WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
THROUGH MIDDAY. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL FILTER IN AND WINDY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL
PROVIDE FOR A LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW MIX ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
OF NORTH GEORGIA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME LITTLE TO NO
ACCUMULATIONS ARE ANTICIPATED GIVEN BRIEF PERIOD OF PRECIPITATION.

THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE A RAIN EVENT NEXT WEEKEND WITH
NO THUNDERSTORMS INDICATED AT THIS TIME. THERE AGAIN APPEARS TO BE
A SMALL WINDOW FOR A LIGHT MIXTURE FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
THE NORTHERN TIER AS THE STORM WINDS DOWN.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR ACTIVATION ESPECIALLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
