Area forecast discussion, Dec 30, 6:39 AM EST, 6 hours 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
639 AM EST MON DEC 30 2013

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 439 AM EST MON DEC 30 2013/
LATEST WEATHER MAP SHOWS A DRY COLD FRONT APPROACHING NW GEORGIA
WITH A TRAILING COLD DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER MISSOURI.
AN ACTIVE SW FLOW ALOFT IS SPREADING AMPLE HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS THE
STATE AND WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE COLD FRONT TO PROGRESS MUCH
FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH THE MORNING. THEN MODELS SHOW GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH A SHARP UPPER DISTURBANCE/TROUGH TRAVERSING THE SE
STATES LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE DISTURBANCE WILL
INCREASE MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS FROM NW TO SE TODAY... AND COULD
ACTUALLY SQUEEZE OUT ENOUGH MOISTURE TO PRODUCE A FEW PATCHES OF
LIGHT RAIN JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE FROM MID TO LATE THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. MODEL TIMING SUGGEST THE DISTURBANCE AND
ANY ASSOCIATED PRECIP SHOULD PUSH EAST AROUND MIDNIGHT BEFORE THE
TEMPS DROP BELOW FREEZING ACROSS THE NORTH. THEREFORE... NOT
EXPECTING ANY WINTRY THREAT ACROSS NORTH GA AT THIS TIME... BUT WILL
MONITOR THIS POTENTIAL CLOSELY. OTHERWISE... WILL MENTION A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN ALL ZONES DURING THE EVENING... THEN SHOW
DECREASING CLOUDS TOWARD MORNING AS THE DISTURBANCE PUSHES EAST AND
DRAGS THE TRAILING COLD FRONT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BY SUNRISE
TUESDAY. COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE AREA ON TUESDAY.

AS FOR TEMPS... LEANED TOWARD THE SLIGHTLY COOLER GFS MOS FOR HIGHS
TODAY WITH INCREASING CLOUDS AND SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE A BIT TRICKY WITH UNCERTAINTY ON
TIMING OF DEPARTING CLOUDS AND REINFORCING COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...
BUT LEANING TOWARD THE COOLER GUIDANCE NORTH AND WARMER GUIDANCE
SOUTH FOR NOW. LOOKS LIKE NEAR SEASONABLE HIGHS ARE ON TAP FOR
TUESDAY BEHIND THE DRY REINFORCING COLD FRONT. ENJOY.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 439 AM EST MON DEC 30 2013/
FORECAST PERIOD BEGINS WITH GRADUAL GULF MOISTURE ADVECTION FROM THE
SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF THE NEXT DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH AND TRANSLATED
SFC LOW THROUGH MIDWEEK. MODEL SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO HAVE SOME
SIGNIFICANT DISCREPANCIES WITH THE EVOLUTION AND TIMING OF THE
DISTURBANCE. THE ECMWF IS LESS PROGRESSIVE AND HIGHER AMPLITUDE WITH
THE SYSTEM THAN THE GFS. THE END OF THE NAM SOLUTION HAS A SIMILAR
WAVE STRUCTURE TO THE GFS...THOUGH LINGERS THE DEEPER MOISTURE
SIMILAR TO THE ECMWF. HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH HPC THINKING OF BLEND
BUT LEANING TO ECMWF SLOWER PROGRESSION. WILL CONTINUE TO INCLUDE
SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS FOR MOSTLY RAIN SHOWERS IN THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING PERIOD. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A QUICK TRANSITION TO SNOW OR OTHER WINTRY PRECIP
ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER AS THE SYSTEM EXITS THURSDAY
EVENING...THOUGH LATEST GUIDANCE LOOKS LARGELY MOISTURE STARVED.
WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE FORECAST AS FUTURE MODEL TRENDS SUGGEST.

BACK TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPS FOR THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND
IN THE POST FRONTAL REGIME. THE COLDEST DAY LOOKS TO BE FRIDAY WITH
HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S IN THE NORTH AND 40S ACROSS
CENTRAL GA. LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE 20S
FOR MOST AREAS.

THE NEXT DISTURBANCE TO IMPACT THE FORECAST AREA LOOKS TO BE LATE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT THERE IS STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTY
WITH GUIDANCE DIFFERENCES SO KEEPING POPS LOW END CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS.

.AVIATION...
12Z UPDATE...
AN ACTIVE SW FLOW ALOFT WILL SPREAD HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH THE PERIOD. MODELS SHOW AN EMBEDDED UPPER DISTURBANCE
TRAVERSING THE AREA FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THRU THE EVENING. MODEL
RH FIELDS SUGGEST MID LEVEL CIGS SPREADING INTO ATLANTA TAF SITES BY
19-21Z TODAY. THE MID CIGS MAY LOWER A BIT BETWEEN 00-06Z TUE AS THE
DISTURBANCE PUSHES ACROSS... BUT LOW VFR CIGS SHOULD PERSIST. STILL
UNCERTAIN ON TIMING AND LEVEL OF CIGS THIS EVENING. EXPECT SCT250 TO
SKC BY 07-09Z TUE IN WAKE OF THE UPPER DISTURBANCE... WHICH PREVAILS
THE REST OF THE PERIOD. EXPECT WNW SURFACE WINDS BETWEEN 7-9KTS
TODAY... 5KTS OR LESS TONIGHT... THEN INCREASING TO AROUND 12-14KT
