AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
409 AM EDT THU JUL 11 2013

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A SURPRISE TO ANYONE TO HEAR THAT THE BIG
THREAT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM IS HEAVY RAIN. SYNOPTIC GUIDANCE IN
PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT STILL WITH STRONG...POSITIVELY TILTED UPPER
TROUGH OVER EASTERN CANADA TROUGHING TOWARD THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. SURFACE FRONT STRETCHING GENERALLY ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AT
AFD TIME WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE MORNING IN RESPONSE TO THE
TROUGH DIGGING SOUTH...AND SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE CENTER OF
THE FORECAST AREA BY EARLY AFTERNOON. UPPER RIDGE OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO RETROGRADE...WHILE UPPER WEAKNESS OVER
THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA AND EASTERN GULF WILL BEGIN BEING ABSORBED BY
THE DEEPENING LONGWAVE TROUGH. AS THE AMPLITUDE OF THE WAVETRAIN
INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST...PUSHING OUT OF THE METRO AREA BUT
HANGING UP ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH GEORGIA AS THE OVERALL BLOCKING
PATTERN STRENGTHENS. BY FRIDAY MORNING...GUIDANCE HAS THE UPPER
TROUGH DEEPENING FURTHER AND CUTTING OFF OVER WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA.
THE PATTERN REMAINS VERY STAGNANT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT
TERM...WITH RAIN CHANCES CONTINUING ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
ZONES BUT FINALLY CLEARING OUT /WITH POSSIBLY SOME SUNSHINE PEEKING
THROUGH!/ IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA.

FOR TODAY...AGAIN THE MAIN THREAT IS HEAVY RAIN. SEE HYDROLOGY
SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS. HIRES GUIDANCE SORT OF ALL OVER THE
PLACE...SOME INDICATING LESS WIDESPREAD CONVECTION AND SOME WITH
MORE. INCLINED TO BELIEVE THAT IN ADDITION TO REMNANT MCS ACROSS
NORTHWEST GEORGIA AT AFD TIME...ADDITIONAL CONVECTION WILL BREAK OUT
AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN NORTH GEORGIA THIS MORNING...NEAR OR JUST
AFTER 12Z. LIMITING FACTOR MIGHT BE RAIN-COOLED AIR ACROSS NORTH
GEORGIA AND NORTH ALABAMA IN THE WAKE OF THE MCS. HOWEVER...WITH
SUCH HIGH DEWPOINTS IN PLACE THINK THAT INSTABILITY WILL BE ON THE
INCREASE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...AND WITH THE ADDITIONAL LIFT
FROM THE FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH...THINK THAT THIS WILL NOT BE MUCH
OF AN ISSUE. EXPECT CONVECTION TO WORK SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA WITH
THE FRONT. WITH THIS...DEFINITELY EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
STRONG STORMS AND CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM OR TWO.
AS WITH THE PAST FEW DAYS...CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH THAT IT WILL NOT
TAKE SEVERE /50KT/ WINDS TO BRING DOWN TREES WITH THE SOILS AS
SATURATED AS THEY ARE.

ANOTHER CONCERN THROUGH THE DAY IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN MCS OR TWO
WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT MOVE ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA. WE HAVE SEEN
THIS THE PAST FEW NIGHTS...ONE CURRENTLY OVER NORTHWEST GEORGIA BUT
THE PREVIOUS TWO NIGHT WE HAVE SEEN MCS ALONG THE SAVANNAH RIVER.
THIS POTENTIAL IS DISCUSSED IN THE SWODY1...BUT WITHOUT BEING ABLE
TO PINPOINT ANYTHING IT IS HARD TO GO INTO POTENTIAL IMPACTS. JUST
KNOW THAT THE POSSIBILITY IS OUT THERE.

SO AS WET AS IT HAS BEEN THE PAST WEEK AND HALF...HOW NICE IT WILL
BE STARTING TONIGHT ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA AS THE FRONT CLEARS THINGS
OUT! DEWPOINTS MAY EVEN DROP IN TO THE MID 60S ACROSS EXTREME NORTH
GEORGIA TONIGHT /AT LEAST INTO THE UPPER 60S/...WITH LOW TEMPS
FOLLOWING SUIT. WILL PROBABLY SEE QUITE A BIT OF FOG FRIDAY MORNING
NORTH ESPECIALLY IF SKIES DO CLEAR AT ALL OVERNIGHT /WITH THE GROUND
SO WET/. BECAUSE OF THE BLOCKING PATTERN IN PLACE ALOFT...POPS WILL
LINGER ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EAST CENTRAL ZONES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM
BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE A GOOD PORTION OF THE AREA WILL SEE A BREAK
FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...BEFORE MOISTURE OVERSPREADS THE AREA
AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED.

.HYDROLOGY...
AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...BASIN-AVERAGE QPF
VALUES AREN'T PARTICULARLY IMPRESSIVE /BETWEEN 0.5-1 INCH NORTH AND
1-1.5 INCHES SOUTH/...BUT AGAIN THESE ARE BASIN-AVERAGE AND OF
COURSE SOME AREAS WILL GET QUITE A BIT MORE. PW VALUE ON 00Z KFFC
SOUNDING WAS 2.1 INCHES...ALMOST IN THE 99TH PERCENTILE FOR JULY.
FORECAST PW VALUES UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH REMAIN ABOVE 2
INCHES. THE AIRMASS IS WET...THE SOILS ARE WET...IT'S JUST WET. SOME
6-HR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ESPECIALLY IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA ARE
LESS THAN AN INCH. SO WITH THAT...HAVE GONE WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
FOR JUST ABOUT THE ENTIRE CWA TODAY...FROM 14Z-04Z NORTH AND 18Z-08Z
SOUTH...TO ATTEMPT TO TIME IT WITH THE FRONT. LEFT OUT EXTREME
SOUTHERN COUNTIES SINCE THEY CAN HANDLE MORE RAIN FOR THE TIME
BEING. AS THE CONVECTION LINGERS IN EXTREME SOUTHERN ZONES THROUGH
THE SHORT TERM...MAY HAVE TO CONSIDER ISSUING FLOOD WATCH DOWN THERE
LATER /FA.A INSTEAD OF FF.A/ TO ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL FOR
LONGER-TERM FLOODING.

TDP

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
EXTENDED BEGINS WITH CLOSED UPPER LOW VICINITY OF OHIO VALLEY WITH
SOME DRIER AIR ACROSS NORTH GA. GFS/ECMWF DIFFER IN GENERAL
LOCATION OF THE UPPER LOW...BUT BOTH RETROGRADE IT WESTWARD DURING
THE PERIOD. WITH THE UPPER RIDGE LOCATED OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST...THE CWA REMAINS IN AN EASTERLY FLOW OF MOISTURE FROM THE
ATLANTIC. THIS WILL KEEP US IN A PATTERN OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY AND HAVE KEPT MOST POPS IN THE CHANCE
CATEGORY. BY THE END OF THE PERIOD LOOKS LIKE THE UPPER RIDGE
BEGINS TO BUILD BACK OVER THE SOUTHEAST...SO THE PATTERN MAY
BECOME MORE DIURNAL. TWEAKED MAX TEMPERATURES DOWN A BIT MOST DAYS
DUE TO EASTERLY FLOW AND EXPECTED POPS.

AVIATION...
06Z UPDATE...
CIGS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE THIS MORNING. EXPECT LOW MVFR TO IFR
CIGS TO BECOME WIDESPREAD OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...THOUGH WILL
HAVE TO MONITOR AREA OF CONVECTION IN NW GA AS IT WOULD KEEP CIGS
HIGHER IF IT MAKES IT TO THE METRO AREA. OTHERWISE...HAVE SHRA AND
TSRA OVERSPREADING THE AREA TODAY. TSRA CHANCES PRETTY HIGH BUT
NOT CONFIDENT ON TIMING...SO CANNOT DO ANY BETTER FOR NOW THAN
SEVERAL HOURS PREVAILING TSRA AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. PULL
BACK TO VCTS STARTING 00Z NORTH AND PULLING OUT CONVECTION BY 03Z
NORTH AND BY THE END OF THE PERIOD SOUTH. SHOULD SEE LOW CIGS
AGAIN FRIDAY MORNING BUT WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAR THE FRONT MAKES
IT. FOR NOW HAVE INTRODUCED MVFR AT ATL. WINDS GENERALLY W THROUGH
THE PERIOD 4-8KT IN THE AFTERNOON...GUSTY IN THUNDERSTORMS.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM ON CIGS.
HIGH ON OCCURRENCE OF CONVECTION AND IMPACTS TO ATL...MEDIUM ON TIMING.
HIGH ON WINDS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...

AMPLE MOISTURE AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE
GROUND IS SATURATED AND ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN COULD LEAD TO FLOODING
OR FLASH FLOODING. RESIDENTS ARE URGED NOT TO LET THEIR GUARD DOWN
DURING THIS PROLONGED CONVECTIVE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL PERIOD.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

PERIODS OF MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING MAY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER
FLOODING ACROSS NORTH AND PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA WHERE HEAVY
RAINS HAVE FALLEN FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS
AVERAGING AROUND ONE HALF INCH TO AN INCH CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS
THE AREA...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. WHILE THIS AMOUNT
OF RAIN IS NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH... SOILS ARE EXTREMELY SATURATED
AND RIVER LEVELS ARE HIGH...THUS IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO PRODUCE
ADDITIONAL FLOODING.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING... WIND GUSTS TO 45
MPH AND POSSIBLY SOME SMALL HAIL. WITH SATURATED SOILS...IT WILL NOT
TAKE MUCH WIND TO DOWN TREES.

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

ALTHOUGH THE RAINFALL THROUGH THE WEEK AND INTO THIS WEEKEND WILL
NOT BE AS PROLONGED OR WIDESPREAD AS WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FOR THE
PAST FEW DAYS...THERE WILL STILL BE PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. PERSONS PLANNING OUTDOOR
ACTIVITIES FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST
FORECASTS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED
TO SUBMIT REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEB BY GOING TO
WEATHER.GOV/ATLANTA.
