Area forecast discussion, May 19, 7:41 AM EDT, 3 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 741 AM EDT SUN MAY 19 2013 .UPDATE... UPDATED THE FORECAST TO ADD THE FLOOD WATCH. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 357 AM EDT SUN MAY 19 2013/ SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/... 500MB ANALYSIS SHOWS AN UPPER LOW ACROSS SOUTHERN KY WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH EXTENDING INTO NORTHERN GA. THIS FEATURE HAS HELPED DEVELOP AND SUSTAIN CONVECTION ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA EARLY THIS MORNING. ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND LIGHT BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS HAVE COMBINED TO PRODUCE SLOW MOVING HEAVY RAINERS. MPE PLACES AN AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN FROM SOUTHEAST WALKER COUNTY INTO EASTERN DAWSON COUNTY. THE MORE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY IS SLOWLY PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST...BUT CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP BACK OFF TO THE WEST. DO THINK THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. FORECAST CHALLENGE IN THIS WEATHER PATTERN IS WHERE CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP. FOR THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL CWFA...THE HRRR SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON THE CURRENT CONVECTIVE TRENDS. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. HAVE MODELED POPS AROUND THE HRRR OUTPUT FOR MUCH OF THE FIRST PERIOD. DO EXPECT ADDITIONAL STORMS TO KEEP FIRING ACROSS NW GA THIS MORNING AND SPREADING SOUTHEAST. THE SYNOPTIC MODELS ARE STILL HINTING AT A MCS TYPE FEATURE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE CENTRAL CWFA AND PUSHING SE TODAY. THE HRRR ACTUALLY IS HINTING AT THIS ALSO. NOT VERY CONFIDENT THIS WILL HAPPEN...ESPECIALLY WITH ALL OF THE CLOUD DEBRIS AROUND. MORE SCATTERED ACTIVITY COULD DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTHERN TIER OF ZONES...WHERE THEY HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING THE MOST HEATING. IF AN MCS FEATURE DOES DEVELOP...ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WET MICROBURSTS. FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO BE A HAZARD...ESPECIALLY WHERE STORMS REPEATEDLY MOVE. TOOK BLEND FOR TEMPS. LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... PREICP SHOULD END FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT AS THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH SETS UP ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. HAVE ONLY TWEAKED POPS DURING THIS PERIOD. FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK...THE 500MB TROUGH/SHEAR AXIS REMAINS ACROSS THE SE COAST. THIS FEATURE WILL HELP FOCUS SCT DIURNAL CONVECTION EACH DAY. PREVIOUS RUNS PUSHED THE FEATURE OFF THE COAST ON TUESDAY...BUT IT SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL EARLY WEDNESDAY. FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK...A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES. MODEL RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY FOR THIS FEATURE HAS BEEN LOW FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE ECMWF NOW HAS THE BOUNDARY APPROACHING NORTHERN GA ON FRIDAY...AND MOVING THROUGH THE CWFA DURING THE DAY. THE GFS HAS CONTINUES TO BRING THE BOUNDARY SOUTHWARD. NEITHER MODEL IS PRODUCING MUCH PRECIP WITH THIS FEATURE FOR NOW...SO WILL LEAVE POPS IN THE SCT RANGE. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR NEXT WEEKEND. MAIN CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED WERE TO UP POPS SLIGHTLY IN THE EAST FOR WEDNESDAY. MAINLY PERSISTENCE FOR THE LATTER HALF OF WEEK. .AVIATION... 12Z UPDATE... CURRENT PATTERN MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FORECAST THE TIMING OF CONVECTION. FOLLOWED THE 06Z RUN OF THE HRRR FAIRLY CLOSELY FOR CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS...OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS...IT HAS BEEN THE BEST MODEL.
