Area forecast discussion, Dec 29, 2:44 PM EST, 1 hour 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
244 PM EST SUN DEC 29 2013

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS OVER THE EASTERN STATES SHOWS LOW PRESSURE
HAS PUSHED ITS WAY INTO THE MID ATLANTIC CENTERED NEAR THE DC
AREA. PREFRONTAL TROUGH NOW ALIGNING ITSELF ALMOST DIRECTLY ALONG
THE SOUTHEAST COASTLINE AND ROUGHLY REPRESENTS CUTOFF FOR PRECIP.
FOR THE LOCAL AREA...A SECONDARY SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS FROM
ATHENS TO ATLANTA AND AS IT ROTATES THROUGH...SHOULD SEE BACK EDGE
OF LOW CLOUDS TRANSITION WITH IT ALLOWING FOR PARTIAL CLEARING
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW MUCH
IF ANY CLOUDS WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA TONIGHT BUT FEEL THERE
WILL BE AT LEAST SOME CLOUDS TO DETER OPTIMUM RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS AND WILL THEREFORE GO ON THE HIGH SIDE OF GUIDANCE FOR LOWS.

NOT MUCH OF A BREAK IN STORE AS SECONDARY UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO
THE MISSOURI VALLEY MONDAY MORNING AND THE TENNESSEE VALLEY BY
MONDAY AFTERNOON. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WILL BE A SPLIT TYPE SYSTEM
AS WE SEE UPPER TROUGH SQUEEZE OUT WHAT LITTLE AVAILABLE MOISTURE
IT HAS FOR THE NORTH AND SOME GULF MOISTURE GETS ENTRAINED INTO
THE SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE SOUTHERN SECTIONS. STILL NOT A GREAT DEAL
OF MOISTURE...EVEN TO THE SOUTH...BUT FEEL THERE IS ENOUGH LIFT
THAT WE MAY REALIZE MORE IN THE WAY OF POPS THAN WHAT MODELS
PROJECT. HAVE THEREFORE PAINTED A SWATH OF CHANCE POPS FROM
COLUMBUS TO JUST SOUTH OF MACON. HAVE GONE ON THE HIGH SIDE OF
TEMPS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD AS WELL WHICH SHOULD ALLEVIATE ANY
CONCERNS FOR FROZEN PRECIP DURING THIS TIMEFRAME.

SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH QUICKLY BY TUESDAY MORNING WITH NORTHERLY
FLOW AND DRIER CONDITIONS FOR THE AREA. WENT CLOSE TO A BIAS
CORRECTED BLEND FOR THE TUESDAY AFTERNOON PERIOD WITH HIGHS NEAR
SEASONAL NORMS.

DEESE

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE MID RANGE PERIOD BEGINS WITH MODELS IN AGREEMENT ON SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL OF THE REGION AND NEAR ZONAL FLOW ALOFT
DOMINATING THE SOUTHERN US AND A SLIGHTLY MEAN TROF AXIS OFF THE
ATLANTIC SEABOARD. WE LOOK TO BRING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH NEAR
CLIMO TEMPS AND TRANQUIL WEATHER.

BY LATE WEDNESDAY SURFACE RIDGING WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA AS A
SHORT WAVE DIGS SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AS A
RESULT...MOISTURE AND CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AHEAD OF THAT
SYSTEM AND WITHING A SLIGHTLY SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. ABOUT THE ONLY
DISAGREEMNT IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF OCCUR
WITH THIS SHORT WAVE AND AND WHERE IT BOTTOMS OUT AND HOW MUCH
MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE FOR PRECIP. HAVE OPTED TO KEEP POPS IN THE
SLIGHT CHANCE RANGE AND SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DRY GFS
AND WETTER ECMWF. IN LOOKING AT BOTH MODELS...CANNOT RULE OUT RAIN
MIXING WITH FROZEN PRECIP IN THE MOUNTAINS...PARTICULARLY AT THE
ONSET AS SOME EVAPORATIVE COOLING OCCURS. HAVE ADDED SOME FROZEN
PRECIP TO THE GRIDS IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND KEPT POPS IN THE
SLIGHT CATEGORY FOR NOW GIVEN THE DISCREPANCY.

COLD SURFACE HIGH BUILDS IN LATE THU AND DOMINATES THE WEATHER FOR
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. FRIDAY COULD BE QUITE COLD WITH HIGHS RUNNING
6 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW CLIMO.

BY LATE SAT INTO SUN...BOTH GFS AND ECMWF IN AGREEMENT ON STRONG
CAD IN PLACE WITH SW FLOW ALOFT. COULD MAKE FOR A CLOUDY AND COOL
WEEKEND...AGAIN...WITH RAIN RETURNING ON LATE SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE
NEXT TROUGH.

STELLMAN

HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1 AND 3 INCHES HAVE OCCURRED ACROSS MUCH
OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THE PAST 24 HOURS... THESE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS COMBINED WITH WET SOIL CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL STREAM-
FLOWS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL MINOR FLOODING ALONG SOME
AREA CREEKS AND RIVERS. THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN HAS ENDED FOR
NORTH AND WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA AS A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
PUSHES EAST AWAY FROM THE AREA THEREFORE... THE FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ALLOWED
TO EXPIRE AT 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON DESPITE CONTINUED RISES ON SOME
CREEKS AND RIVERS. SEE FLOOD WARNINGS AND STATEMENTS FOR
ADDITIONAL AND SPECIFIC INFORMATION

AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
LIFR CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN SLOWLY LIFTING TO IFR ACROSS THE
TERMINALS WITH EVEN SOME CLEARING SHOWING UP AT AHN. LOW CLOUDS
ARE MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST BUT ALSO TRYING TO ERODE ON THE
EASTERN FLANK MAKING FOR A CHALLENGING FORECAST. FOR NOW...JUST
TIMED THE BACK EDGE OF THE CLOUDS OVER ALABAMA TO ACCOUNT FOR SCT
DECK DEVELOPING AROUND 01Z BUT THIS COULD BE MUCH EARLIER IF
CLOUDS KEEP DISSIPATING AT A HIGH RATE TO THE EAST. ANOTHER SYSTEM
WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN TERMINALS MONDAY AFTERNOON BUT CHANCES TOO LOW
FOR -RA AT THIS TIME FOR INCLUSION IN ANY TAFS.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM ON TIMING OF CIG IMPROVEMENT.
HIGH ON REMAINING ELEMENTS.
