AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
124 PM EDT WED JUL 3 2013

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1025 AM EDT WED JUL 3 2013/

UPDATE...
AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN BEGINNING TO SET UP ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE CWFA. MAIN UPDATES THIS MORNING WERE TO TRY AND CAPTURE TRENDS
WITHIN THE POP GRIDS. ALSO POPULATED WITH THE LATEST HPC QPF GRIDS
AND MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS.

NO CHANGES TO THE FLOOD WATCH NEEDED.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 727 AM EDT WED JUL 3 2013/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 430 AM EDT WED JUL 3 2013/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO INDICATE A BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE FROM ALABAMA THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY WITH LOCALIZED
CENTERS NOW OVER THE NORTHERN GULF. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO STRONG
UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM CENTERED OVER THE MISSOURI VALLEY WITH
TROUGHING EXTENDING OVER MOST OF THE DEEP SOUTH. RESULT TONIGHT
HAS BEEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH TO SOUTH ORIENTED BANDS OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN...MOST OF WHICH HOWEVER HAVE REMAINED JUST
OUTSIDE THE LOCAL AREA AND INSTEAD OVER ALABAMA.

FOR TODAY...UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY RETROGRADE WEST AS
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE CONTINUES TO GET PUMPED IN TO THE AREA WITH A
FETCH OFF THE CARIBBEAN. AS A RESULT...WE WILL SEE PWATS IN EXCESS
OF 2 INCHES FOR MOST AREAS. WITH NAM12 AND GFS MAXING OUT AT 2.2
WHICH IS IN THE 99 PERCENTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. EXPECTING
SHOWERS TO DEVELOP RAPIDLY OVER EASTERN ZONES BY MID MORNING WITH
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. THIS ZONE WILL TRANSITION WEST THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS WHERE
SOUTHERLY FETCH WILL KEEP HIGH POPS THERE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HAVE
GONE CATEGORICAL FOR AFOREMENTIONED WEST ZONES AND NORTHEAST
MOUNTAINS WITH THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE INCREASING TO SCT BY
AFTERNOON.

MODELS NOW INDICATING STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND CORE OF 60 KTS AT
850MB MOVING OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO LATE TONIGHT AND THEN
SPREADING NORTHWARD ALONG THE GEORGIA AND ALABAMA BORDER. ALTHOUGH
INSTABILITY WILL NOT BE THE STRONGEST DURING THIS TIMEFRAME...FEEL
PRECIPITATION LOADING WILL BE ABLE TO BRING SOME OF THIS WIND CORE
TO THE SURFACE AND RESULT IN STRONG WINDS WITH THE MORE ROBUST
CORES. IN ADDITION...LOW LEVEL HELICITY IS MAXIMIZED IN THIS SAME
ZONE IN FAVORABLE POSITION JUST NORTH OF DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW.
AGAIN...NOT SURE HOW MUCH WILL BE SURFACE BASED AT THIS POINT BUT
WILL DEFINITELY HAVE ROTATING STORM AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR
TORNADO POTENTIAL CLOSELY.

THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM...MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND
SLIGHTLY WEST WITH MAIN LIFT AND MOISTURE CORE FOR JULY 4TH. FEEL
WESTERN ZONES FROM COLUMBUS TO LA GRANGE TO DALTON WILL BE UNDER
THE GUN FOR CONTINUED HEAVY RAINFALL BUT EASTERN ZONES MAY SEE
MARGINAL IMPROVEMENT IN THE FORM OF BREAKS FROM PRECIP FROM TIME
TO TIME. SO BOTTOM LINE IS IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A WASHOUT FOR
WESTERN ZONES BUT THE FURTHER EAST YOU GO...THE MORE UNCERTAINTY
EXISTS WRT AMOUNT AND DURATION OF PRECIP.

DEESE

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
VERY LARGE AND STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IN PLACE JUST WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROL THE WEATHER
PATTERN THROUGH MOST OF THE EXTENDED. THIS RETROGRADING UPPER
TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BE CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS STATES BY
THU NIGHT AS A STRENGTHENING UPPER HIGH MOVES ONSHORE THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST. THIS PATTERN WILL KEEP GA IN VERY MOIST SOUTHERLY
FLOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE FORECAST MODELS ARE SHOWING A PLUME
OF RICH MONSOONAL LIKE MOISTURE MOVING ONSHORE THE GA/SC/NC COAST
IN THE SHORT TERM THEN SPREADING WEST ACROSS THE REST OF THE
REGION THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. THIS PATTERN WILL PUT
GA RIGHT UNDER THIS PLUME THU THROUGH SAT. THE MODELS ARE SHOWING
PW VALUES INCREASING TO NEAR 2 INCHES BY 00Z THU AND STAYING THERE
THROUGH 00Z TUE OF NEXT WEEK. THE WPC 3 TO 5 DAY QPF TOTALS ARE STILL
SHOWING 2 TO 4 INCH TOTALS ACROSS THE STATE WITH ISOLATED HIGHER
AMOUNTS. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW THE AXIS OF THIS PLUME
SHIFTING WEST OF THE STATE BY SUNDAY MORNING...BUT GA STILL STAYS
IN MOIST FLOW. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE BEEN ADVERTISING THIS
WEATHER PATTERN FOR ABOUT 5 DAY NOW SO CONFIDENCE IN THIS
OCCURRING IS VERY HIGH.

01

HYDROLOGY...FLOOD WATCH STILL LOOKS GOOD FOR THE AREA. LATEST
STORM TOTAL QPF FOR THE EVENT LARGELY THE SAME WITH JUST OVER 3
INCHES FOR THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS AND A SOLID 2.5 TO 2.75 FOR THE
WESTERN ZONES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
BAND OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION STARTING TO SET UP ROUGHLY ALONG AND
WEST OF THE INTERSTATE 85 CORRIDOR. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LIKELY THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY. HAVE
TAKEN DOWN PREVAILING VSBYS TO MVFR...BUT LIKELY IFR/LIFR
CIGS/VSBYS POSSIBLE WITHIN HEAVIER TSRA.
