AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
1145 AM EDT SUN MAR 24 2013

.UPDATE...
HAVE TWEAKED POPS DOWN FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS BASED ON RADAR TRENDS.
KEPT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS FOR LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. HAVE ALSO ADJUSTED AFTERNOON
MAX TEMPERATURES DOWN A FEW DEGREES DUE TO PERSISTENT CLOUDS.

41

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 721 AM EDT SUN MAR 24 2013/

UPDATE...
THE STORMS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA HAVE WEAKENED SIGNIFICANTLY SO
HAVE TAKEN MOST OF THE COUNTIES OUT OF THE WATCH. STILL LEFT THE
EXTREME SE CORNER OF THE CWA IN THE WATCH FOR ANOTHER HOUR.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 416 AM EDT SUN MAR 24 2013/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
WARM FRONT CONTINUES THIS MORNING ALONG THE FL/GA BORDER. LOW
PRESSURE HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ALONG THE FRONT TODAY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
SHOWS A SHORTWAVE MOVING JUST NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY ACROSS CENTRAL
GA. THE MID LEVEL ENERGY/COLD POOL IS HELPING SUSTAIN ELEVATED
CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA THIS MORNING. THE
COOL AIR WEDGE IS FIRMLY IN PLACE ACROSS THE NE CWFA. THE ACTUAL
COLD FRONT IS DENOTED BY A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
CENTRAL AL THIS MORNING.

SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE JUST ALONG AND NORTH OF THE
WARM FRONT THIS MORNING...WHERE THE COLD POOL ALOFT IS HELPING TO
SUSTAIN CONVECTION. LARGE HAIL WOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH ANY
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EARLY THIS MORNING.

THE WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SLOWLY NE THIS MORNING AS THE
LOW PRESSURE ALSO MOVES TO THE NE. DO THINK THAT THE COOL AIR WEDGE
WILL ERODE SOME ON THE SOUTH SIDE...BUT THE FAR NE CORNER OF THE
CWFA MAY REMAIN STABLE UNTIL THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH DURING THE
LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON.

MODELS ARE PROGGING THE ACTUAL FRONT TO BEGIN MOVING THROUGH THE
METRO ATLANTA AREA AROUND 12Z THIS MORNING. MODELS ARE NOT PROGGING
A WHOLE LOT OF FORCING ALONG THE FRONT...BUT LAPSE RATES DO STEEPEN
SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS MAY ALLOW ADDITIONAL SEVERE
STORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG AND EAST OF THE COLD FRONT DURING THE LATE
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALONG
AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL BE MAINLY ACROSS THE SE PORTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA. IN ADDITION...A DRY SLOT MAY FILTER IN JUST AHEAD
OF THE FRONT...AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH LARGE HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE. ALSO...AS SHEAR INCREASES THIS AFTERNOON...ISOLATED
TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SE.

COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CLEAR MOST OF THE CWFA BY MIDNIGHT. COLD
AIR ADVECTION WILL OCCUR BEHIND THE BOUNDARY ALOFT AND AT THE
SURFACE. SOME WRAP AROUND PRECIP IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
CWFA OVERNIGHT...AND THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A RASN MIX ACROSS THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. FOR NOW...MOISTURE IS LIMITED AND ANY
ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE MINIMAL.

STRONG W/NW FLOW WILL CONTINUE WELL INTO MONDAY. A WIND ADVISORY
LOOKS LIKELY AS WINDS WILL BE SUSTAINED AROUND 20 TO 25 MPH. GUSTS
TO AROUND 35 TO 40 MPH WILL NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION.

NLISTEMAA

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE LONG TERM STARTS OFF WITH THE MAIN LOW PRESSURE CENTER MOVING NE
ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC AND NEW ENGLAND COAST. GOOD MOISTURE AROUND
THE BACK SIDE OF THIS LOW CENTER CONTINUES TO ROTATE SOUTHWARD BUT
IT STAYS NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. EXTREME
NORTH GA GETS INTO THE DEEPER WRAP AROUND MOISTURE BRIEFLY BEFORE IT
SWINGS EAST AND OFF THE CAROLINA COAST TUE NIGHT. A HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE SLIDES IN OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND IS SHORT LIVED AS IT
WEAKENS RAPIDLY ALLOW MOISTURE TO MOVE BACK IN FROM THE NW THU. THE
MOISTURE IS VERY LIMITED SO ONLY EXPECTING INCREASED CLOUD COVER
WITH MAYBE A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS N GA THU/FRI. INCLUDED A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF POPS FRI ACROSS NORTH GA WITH SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE
REST OF THE AREA SAT AND SUN. THERE IS VERY LITTLE INSTABILITY DAYS
3-7 SO I O NOT HAVE ANY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST.

01

HYDROLOGY...
AROUND AN INCH OF RAINFALL EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM MAINLY TONIGHT
AND SUNDAY. WITH QPF...SOME RIVERS ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA COULD REACH
ACTION STAGE. NOT EXPECTED FLOODING...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A SITE OR
TWO MAKING IT INTO MINOR FLOOD STAGE. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
SITUATION.

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z UPDATE...
PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE METRO ATL AREA CURRENTLY. A
BREAK IN THE PRECIP WILL OCCUR THIS MORNING...BUT HI RES MODELS
HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP SCT SHRA/ISOLD TSRA ALONG THE FRONT LATER
THIS AFTERNOON. FROPA FOR ATL SHOULD BE BETWEEN 20Z AND 22Z. A
WIND SHIFT TO THE SW WILL OCCUR AFT 18Z...WHILE A WIND SHIFT TO
THE W IS EXPECTED AROUND 00Z. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY OVERNIGHT AND
ESPECIALLY MONDAY.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE...
