AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
805 PM EDT TUE MAY 21 2013

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 314 PM EDT TUE MAY 21 2013/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. AIRMASS
SHOWERS/TSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE CWA...MAINLY ACROSS THE
EXTREME NORTH AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE CWA. THESE WILL DISSIPATE
SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET THIS EVENING. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE
STORMS OVER NORTHWEST AL AND CENTRAL TN COULD MAKE IT TO EXTREME
NORTHWEST GA BEFORE DIMINISHING THIS EVENING. THE H5 RIDGE OVER THE
EASTERN U.S. WILL WEAKEN AS THE CENTRAL U.S. TROUGH MOVES INTO THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL BRING A BETTER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
TO THE CWA...MAINLY ACROSS NORTH GA. INSTABILITY INCREASES WEDNESDAY
ACROSS NORTH GA AND THIS COULD PRODUCE A FEW STRONG STORMS. GUIDANCE
TEMPS LOOK GOOD FOR TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH TRICKY FOR WEDNESDAY WITH
ADDITIONAL CLOUDS. WILL TREND TO THE COOLER SIDE OF GUIDANCE ACROSS
NORTH GA FOR HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY DUE TO INCREASED CLOUDS AND PRECIP.

17

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
BY WEDNESDAY EVENING...BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE THAT THE
FRONT WILL BE WEAKENING SIGNIFICANTLY. GFS REMAINS AB IT ON THE
STRONG SIDE WITH A SLIGHTLY MORE EAST WITH THE GREAT LAKES SURFACE
LOW. BOTH ARE TRANSITIONING THE UPPER LOW TO MORE OF A SHARP OPEN
TROUGH PHASING WITH THE LONGWAVE TROUGH IN CANADA. WEAK SHORTWAVE
OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST WILL LIFT NORTHEAST AND BE ABSORBED
BY THE LONGWAVE TROUGH AS WELL. SPC CONTINUES THE AREA IN GENERAL
THUNDER FOR THURSDAY...WITH MUCAPE VALUES 500-1000 J/KG EARLY IN
THE DAY...DECREASING BY MID-MORNING...AND INCREASING AGAIN IN
EXTREME SOUTHERN ZONES JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT AFTER 18Z TO OVER
1000 J/KG. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE AREA FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR
ISOLATED STRONG STORMS BUT NOTHING TO SIGNIFICANT.

COLD FRONT SHOULD BE PUSHED THROUGH THE AREA BY LATE THURSDAY...
AND HAVE DECREASED TEMPS NORTHWEST SOMEWHAT TO LINE UP WITH THAT
TIMING A LITTLE BETTER. SHOULD SEE A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN TEMPS
TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN
AND NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...CURRENT FORECAST HAS HIGHS ON FRIDAY
ABOUT 5 DEGREES COOLER THAN HIGHS ON THURSDAY EXCEPT IN CENTRAL
GEORGIA. SEE PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION BELOW.
