Area forecast discussion, Jan 30, 3:22 PM EST, 1 hour 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 322 PM EST WED JAN 30 2013 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... REST OF TODAY...CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER CONTINUES ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA...WITH EXCEPTION OF FAR NORTHWEST GEORGIA AND HAVE ALREADY DROPPED THE TORNADO WATCH FROM THAT AREA. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THE CHANCE FOR TORNADOES AND WIND DAMAGE. EXPECT THE LINE OF BROKEN STORMS TO FORM INTO A LINE AND LEAD TO MOSTLY A WIND EVENT LATER THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT. MOST OF THE SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD BE OUT OF THE AREA AFTER 02Z. AFTER THAT...EXPECT LIGHT RAIN THROUGH 06Z. CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR OVERNIGHT INTO TOMORROW. DRY FORECAST FOR THURSDAY. WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT AND MAIN IMPACT WILL BE CLOUDS. ENOUGH MOISTURE THOUGH AND TEMPERATURES ARE COLD ENOUGH THAT FORECAST WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF SNOW FLURRIES ACROSS NORTHEAST GEORGIA. SHOULD BE VERY LIGHT AND NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. IN THE NEAR TERM HAD TO ADJUST TEMPERATURES BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS...BUT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...TEMPERATURES ARE BASED ON A MODEL BLEND. STRONGEST WINDS SO FAR ACROSS NORTHEAST GEORGIA HAVE BEEN AROUND 35 MPH. BASED ON TRENDS HAVE DECIDED TO CANCEL THE HIGH WIND WARNING AND KEEP ALL OF THE CWA UNDER THE WIND ADVISORY THROUGH MIDNIGHT. ARG/11 .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... /ISSUED 410 AM EST WED JAN 30 2013/ EXTENDED MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE LONG TERM...WITH LONG WAVE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH SITUATED OVER THE EASTERN U.S. THOUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. GENERALLY...NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER THE REGION...AND MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVES IMPACTING THE AREA AS A RESULT. THE FIRST DISTURBANCE OCCURS AT THE TAIL END OF THE SHORT TERM PERIODS...AND WHAT MOISTURE QUICKLY DISSIPATES INTO THE LONG TERM EARLY FRIDAY. THE SECOND DISTURBANCE LOOKS TO APPROACH THE AREA LATE SATURDAY AND REMAIN ACROSS FAR NORTH GEORGIA EARLY SUNDAY...WITH SLIGHTLY MORE MOISTURE AVAILABLE THAN THE PREVIOUS SHORTWAVE. FOR NOW...WITH THE LATEST MODEL TIMING FOR THIS SYSTEM...LOOKS LIKE IT WILL PRIMARILY BE RAIN...WITH SOME POSSIBILITY OF A RAIN-SNOW MIX INTO SUNDAY MORNING. HAVE GENERALLY GONE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS...AND HAVE KEPT NO ACCUMULATIONS FOR NORTH GEORGIA. HAVE SCALED BACK POPS SLIGHTLY FOR THE THIRD SHORT WAVE EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. LATEST MODEL RUNS ARE LESS ENTHUSIASTIC WITH THE FRONTAL SUPPORT...AND THEREFORE LESS AGGRESSIVE WITH MOISTURE AND PRECIP POTENTIAL. HAVE CONTINUED WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...AND QUICKLY DROP POPS OFF INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. BELANGER 31 && .FIRE WEATHER... FUELS ARE WET AT THIS POINT...BUT WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR AS RH VALUES WILL DROP TO 25 PERCENT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. AREAS WILL BE ISOLATED ON THURSDAY...BUT FRIDAY IS DRIER AND A LARGE AREA IS BORDERLINE FOR 4 HOURS OF 25 PERCENT OR LESS RH. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. 11 && .HYDROLOGY... ONE TO THREE INCHES OF RAIN HAS ALREADY FALLEN ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH GEORGIA...MAINLY IN AN AREA FROM TRENTON TO HIAWASSEE TO CARROLLTON. ANOTHER HALF INCH IS POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS. EAST OF THIS AREA...AN ADDITIONAL ONE TO TWO INCHES IS POSSIBLE. GIVEN AMOUNTS...WILL CONTINUE WITH THE FLOOD WATCH THROUGH MIDNIGHT. && .AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY TODAY AND THROUGH EARLY EVENING ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. AFTER THE MOISTURE CLEARS OUT...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS. MAIN CONCERN TODAY IS THE TIMING OF THE SQUALL LINE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. HAVE ADJUSTED THE TAFS FOR BEST TIMING...POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITH THESE STORMS INCLUDING DAMAGING WIND AND POSSIBLE TORNADOES. //ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
