TRENDS. LOWERED TEMPS IN THE COLD DOME AND MADE SOME MINOR

HWO TO ACCOUNT FOR NEW TIMING. REST OF THE UPDATED PRODUCTS WILL
BE OUT SHORTLY.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 647 AM EST TUE FEB 26 2013/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 407 AM EST TUE FEB 26 2013/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WARM FRONT CURRENTLY SITUATED ACROSS THE GA/FL BORDER. LOW PRESSURE
IS LOCATED ACROSS E AR/E TN THIS MORNING WITH A COLD FRONT
STRETCHING SOUTH ACROSS EASTERN MS. REGIONAL RADAR LOOP SHOWS
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL GA THIS
MORNING...WITH THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY CONFINED TO THE COAST OF THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE.

THE WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO LIFT SLOWLY NORTH THIS MORNING AS THE
COLD FRONT MOVES EAST. THE SOUTHERN CWA HAS THE BEST CHANCES OF
GETTING INTO THE WARM SECTOR AROUND SUNRISE...AND CONVECTION
BECOMING SURFACE BASED. UNTIL THEN...ANY THUNDER SHOULD BE ELEVATED.
STRONG WINDS ALOFT WOULD MIX DOWN IN ANY THUNDERSTORMS...SO DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS WOULD BE LIKELY WITHIN ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THAT
DEVELOPS LATER THIS MORNING. ISOLD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A COLUMBUS TO LOUISVILLE LINE BEFORE
NOON.

AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST INTO THE LOWER/MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN. EASTERLY FLOW
HAS STRENGTHENED ACROSS NW GA THIS MORNING AND HAVE RAISED A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THIS AREA. WINDS WILL BECOME STRONGER ACROSS MUCH THE
REMAINDER OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL GA LATER TODAY AS WINDS SWITCH
AROUND TO THE S AND MIXING OCCURS. NE GA MAY REMAIN FIRMLY
ENTRENCHED WITHIN THE WEDGE...WHICH SHOULD LIMIT MIXING. SO HAVE
OPTED NOT TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS REGION. HOWEVER...IF THE
WARM FRONT DOES PUSH FURTHER NORTH THAN EXPECTED...THE WIND ADVISORY
MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED INTO NE GA. REGARDLESS...SOILS ARE VERY
SATURATED AND IT WON'T TAKE VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS TO DOWN TREES AND
SOME POWERLINES.

IN THE PAST 36 HOURS...BETWEEN ONE AND TWO INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA. ACROSS THE CENTRAL CWA...AROUND AN INCH HAS
FALLEN AND ACROSS THE NORTH UP TO ONE THIRD OF AN INCH HAS FALLEN.
ANOTHER INCH TO INCH AND A HALF OF RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN CWFA THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE STORMS REPEATEDLY MOVE
OR THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP. RAINFALL WILL RAPIDLY DIMINISH FROM WEST
TO EAST AFTER NOON. NO CHANGES TO THE FLOOD WATCH ANTICIPATED THIS
MORNING. AREAL FLOOD WARNINGS ALSO REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL GA THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

THE COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH THROUGH MUCH OF THE CWA BY MIDDAY...WITH
PRECIP DIMINISHING. SOME LIGHT PRECIP IS POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN GA
OVERNIGHT IN THE UPSLOPE AREAS. NAM SOUNDINGS SHOW TEMP PROFILES
ABOVE FREEZING AT THIS TIME...SO THE PTYPE SHOULD REMAIN ALL RAIN.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST LATER TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY.

NLISTEMAA

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST TRENDS. MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO KEEP THE REGION UNDER A PERSISTENT UPPER
TROUGH THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH A TIGHT SURFACE GRADIENT AND STOUT
LOW-LEVEL CAA. GFS FLIRTS WITH VERY LOW QPF IN THE FAR NORTH EACH DAY
THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE BRINGING IN SLIGHTLY BETTER PRECIPITATION
CHANCES AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER QPF VALUES SATURDAY AS A SMALL BUT POTENT
SHORT WAVE SWEEPS THROUGH THE BROAD UPPER TROUGH. ECMWF KEEPS ANY
MEASURABLE QPF AMOUNTS GENERALLY NORTH OF THE STATE UNTIL THE SYSTEM
SWEEPS THROUGH SATURDAY. IN THE MEANTIME TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE
BELOW NORMAL WITH AT LEAST MIXED PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE IN THE FAR
NORTH WHERE ANY PRECIPITATION MANAGES TO MATERIALIZE. I HAVE CONFINED
POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN COUNTIES UNTIL SATURDAY...
WHEN I BUMP UP TO CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE FAR NORTH WITH SLIGHT CHANCE
AS FAR SOUTH AS THE ATLANTA METRO AND ATHENS. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF
STILL KEEP QPF AMOUNTS GENERALLY BELOW 1/10TH OF AN INCH PER 12 HOUR
PERIOD ON SATURDAY SO THIS CONTINUES TO BE A LOW QPF/LOW CONFIDENCE
FORECAST RIGHT NOW...ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING FOR THE
SATURDAY CHANCES. AFTER THE SHORT WAVE PASSES LATE SATURDAY...MODELS
ARE SHOWING THE LARGE UPPER TROUGH FINALLY SHIFTING EAST AS WELL.
THIS WOULD INDICATE A MAINLY DRY AND WARMING START TO NEXT WEEK.

20

AVIATION...
12Z UPDATE...
COLD FRONT CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL AL...AND A WARM FRONT
ALONG FL/GA BORDER. THE BACK EDGE OF THE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL SHOULD
CLEAR ATL BETWEEN 12Z AND 13Z. SHRA ALONG THE FRONT WILL REMAIN
ISOLD. EASTERLY WINDS WILL SWITCH AROUND TO THE S/SW BY THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KT WILL BE POSSIBLE AT ALL TERMINAL
SITES EXCEPT AHN. AHN WILL STAY IN THE COOL AIR WEDGE MOST OF THE
DAY.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON CIGS. HIGH CONFIDENCE ALL OTHER ELEMENTS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

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

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

STRONG...GUSTY WINDS MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA TODAY.

MINOR FLOODING CONTINUES AT A FEW LOCATIONS ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA
AND RIVERS CONTINUE TO RISE AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS AS A RESULT OF THE
RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL. MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
CONTINUE THIS MORNING...PRODUCING ADDITIONAL FLOODING.

ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS AREAS SOUTH OF
MCRAE TO LOUISVILLE LINE THIS MORNING.

DISCUSSION...

ANOTHER ROUND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN IS MOVING ACROSS NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA WHICH WILL LIKELY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FLOODING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA. SEE THE LATEST FLOOD WATCH...FFAFFC...
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

STRONG...GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE NORTHWEST THIS
MORNING AND EXPAND TO MUCH OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL GEORGIA LATER
THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.

A STRONG WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA
THIS MORNING...INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...FREQUENT
LIGHTNING AND ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADOES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

DISCUSSION...

WATER LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE FROM THE PREVIOUS HEAVY RAIN
AND ADDITIONAL STREAM AND RIVER FLOODING IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
WEEK.

LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES MAY BE POSSIBLE OVER FAR
NORTH GEORGIA THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY IN HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. AT THIS TIME...NO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS ARE
EXPECTED BUT WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.

.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.
