AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
340 AM EDT WED OCT 23 2013

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VERY QUIET CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. DEEP TROUGH
IN PLACE ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY...WITH TROUGH AXIS
RIGHT OVER GEORGIA AS WE START THE SHORT TERM. SURFACE FRONT HAS
EXITED THE AREA AND IT IS JUST A MATTER OF A SHORT LAG BEFORE THE
REALLY COOL AND DRY AIRMASS PUSHES IN.

WITH SUCH A STRONG TROUGH ALOFT...THE RESULTANT SURFACE GRADIENT
WILL BE PRETTY STRONG TODAY WITH CAA THROUGH THE DEPTH OF THE
COLUMN. EXPECT WINDS 10-15 MPH WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 20-25...NOT QUITE
ENOUGH FOR AN ADVISORY BUT CERTAINLY BREEZY. HIGHS TODAY WILL BE
SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN YESTERDAY...WITH SOME AREAS IN NORTH
GEORGIA NOT GETTING OUT OF THE 50S. WITH THE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS
SHOULD SEE A BIT OF A DRYING AND DOWNSLOPING COMPONENT IN THE AREAS
AROUND ATHENS AND GAINESVILLE SO TEMPS THERE WILL BE SLIGHTLY WARMER
THAN ACROSS THE METRO AREA.

LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD BE 8-10 DEGREES COOLER THAN WHAT WE WILL HAVE
THIS MORNING. IT WILL BE A BIT OF A TIMING GAME BETWEEN WHEN THE
GRADIENT SLACKENS ALLOWING THE WINDS TO DROP OFF TONIGHT VS HOW COLD
THE TEMPS WILL GET. IN ANY CASE...WITH A LARGE PORTION OF THE AREA
DROPPING INTO THE MID AND UPPER 30S TONIGHT AND WINDS DYING OFF
TOWARD SUNRISE...EXPECT FROST FORMATION GENERALLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN 2/3 OF THE AREA...SO HAVE ISSUED A FROST ADVISORY FOR
TONIGHT.

DEEP CAA DROPS OFF SOME FOR THURSDAY WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLING OVER THE AREA. STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES ALOFT AND A
MAINLY-DRY SHORTWAVE WILL DIVE DOWN EARLY THURSDAY...INCREASING
CLOUD COVER ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES SOMEWHAT...BUT OTHERWISE SKIES
WILL BE CLEAR AND TEMPS CONTINUING SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW
CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS. BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE AND REINFORCING DRY
COLD FRONT WILL BE THE ENCROACHMENT OF ANOTHER...COLDER AIRMASS FOR
THE EXTENDED.

TDP

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

MAIN STORY IN THE LONG TERM REMAINS THE MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNINGS.

A DRY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CWFA THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY FRIDAY. ENOUGH MIXING SHOULD OCCUR TO KEEP WINDS UP AROUND 5
TO 6 KT. EVEN THOUGH SKIES MAY BE CLEAR OR MOSTLY CLEAR...THE
WINDS SHOULD HELP KEEP TEMPS UP ENOUGH FOR FROST TO BE MORE
PATCHY IN NATURE UP NORTH. FROST SHOULD BE MAINLY CONFINED TO
SHELTERED AREAS. WITH THAT SAID...IF THE WINDS DO DECOUPLE NEAR
DAWN...FROST MAY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD.

HIGH PRESSURE MOVES DIRECTLY OVERHEAD DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. WINDS
SHOULD BE CALM/NEAR CALM AND SKIES SHOULD BE CLEAR OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL
MAKE FOR OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL COOLING AND FROST FORMATION. SATURDAY
MORNINGS LOW TEMPERATURES STILL RANGE FROM AROUND 30 IN THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS TO MIDDLE 30S ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL GEORGIA. A
FREEZE WARNING MAY HAVE TO BE ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN
GEORGIA...WITH ANOTHER FROST ADVISORY INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA. MODELS
HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH THE MINS FROM RUN TO RUN.

TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY MODERATE DURING THE FIRST PART OF NEXT
WEEK REACHING NEAR NORMAL VALUES AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE. A
STRONG STORM SYSTEM MAY BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO GEORGIA
LATE IN THE WEEK. KEEP TRACK OF THE LATEST FORECASTS...AS THE
STORM SYSTEM COULD AFFECT PLANNED ACTIVITIES.

NLISTEMAA

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL APPROACH CRITICAL LEVELS ACROSS CENTRAL
GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE DRIER AIRMASS MOVING IN...WITH WINDS
ALSO NEARLY APPROACHING CRITICAL LEVELS. HOWEVER FUEL MOISTURES
REMAIN TOO HIGH IN ALL BUT EXTREME NORTHWEST ZONES...SO AT LEAST FOR
TODAY NO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED. SIMILAR STORY
WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR THURSDAY BUT WITHOUT WINDS...BUT WILL
HAVE TO SEE HOW FUELS RESPOND TO THE DRYING TODAY. SO FOR NOW NO
CRITICAL CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

TDP

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z UPDATE... VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MVFR
FOG AT AHN. CANNOT RULE OUT BRIEF LIFR CONDITIONS THERE AS WELL.
WINDS NW THROUGH THE PERIOD...PICKING UP BY LATE MORNING AND
GUSTING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON TO AROUND 25 KT...SLIGHTLY HIGHER AT
ATL. GUSTINESS WILL DROP OFF AFTER 00Z.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE...
HIGH ON ALL ELEMENTS.
