Area forecast discussion, Mar 18, 7:54 PM EDT, 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 754 PM EDT MON MAR 18 2013 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 357 PM EDT MON MAR 18 2013/ SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... COLD FRONT CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM THE SOUTHERN OHIO VALLEY BACK THROUGH THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON...THE COLD AIR WEDGE EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS HAS STRENGTHENED AND BUILT BACK TO THE WEST. THE AIRMASS UNDER THE SHALLOW WEDGE IS MORE STABLE. THE COOL AIR WEDGE WILL PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN WHETHER THUNDERSTORMS ARE SURFACE BASED VS ELEVATED. AIRMASS CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT ACROSS MOST LOCALES. THOSE AREAS CURRENTLY RECEIVING BREAKS IN THE OVC WILL DESTABILIZE THE MOST...AND HAVE HIGHER SURFACE INSTABILITY. AREAS TO THE NORTH...CLOSEST TO THE WIDESCALE ASCENT...WILL HAVE BETTER LIFT AND SHEAR. SRH COULD ALSO BE ENHANCED ALONG THE ACTUAL WEDGE FRONT. AS THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE CWFA...IT WILL BECOME DISPLACED FROM THE BEST MID LEVEL SUPPORT. EXPECT INSTABILITY TO BEGIN DECREASING WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING...BUT DO THINK THUNDER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT BUT DECREASE IN COVERAGE. MODELS STILL SHOWING TWO DISTINCT WAVES OF PRECIP. THE FIRST WAVE...LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...IS CURRENTLY APPROACHING NW GA. THE SECOND WAVE OF PRECIP WILL COME OVERNIGHT WITH THE ACTUAL FROPA. PRECIP WILL END RAPIDLY FROM THE NW EARLY TOMORROW MORNING IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. TEMPS NEAR NORMAL ARE EXPECTED. NLISTEMAA LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE TO THE LONG TERM SECTION AND FEW MINOR TEMPS CHANGES. DECIDED TO ADD SOME MIXED PRECIP ACROSS NORTH GA FRIDAY MORNING WITH RAIN AND SNOW MIX DUE TO TEMPS EXPECTED NEAR FREEZING. 01 LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... EXTENDED PERIOD BEGINS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LONGWAVE EAST COAST TROUGH WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPS DROPPING SOME 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL INITIALLY WITH ADDITIONAL SHOTS OF COOL TO COLD AIR THROUGH WEEKS END. WILL SEE STRONG IMPULSE PUSH THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY EARLY WEDNESDAY WITH MAIN FORCING REMAINING JUST NORTH OF THE GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIFT SUPPORT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS BUT WITH DEWPOINTS REMAINING IN THE 20S...WILL KEEP POPS IN THE SILENT 10 RANGE FOR NOW. THIS WILL BEAR WATCHING CLOSELY HOWEVER AS IF PRECIP COULD BE REALIZED...COLD TEMPS ALOFT AND WET BULB EFFECTS LOOK TO EASILY SUPPORT WINTRY PRECIP FOR THE NORTHERN TIER. NEST SYSTEM WILL TAKE SHAPE FRIDAY OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AS SOUTHERN STREAM OF THE JET GETS ACTIVE AND DEVELOPS LOW PRESSURE OVER EAST TEXAS. FAVORABLE LARGE SCALE ISENTROPIC ASCENT PROFILE FOR THE GULF COAST INCLUDING THE LOCAL AREA THROUGH FRIDAY. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR ONSET CLOSELY FOR THIS SYSTEM AS COLD AIR REMAINS TRAPPED IN THE MOUNTAINS INITIALLY WHICH COULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL WINTRY WX CONCERNS. WARM BELT SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH AS PRECIP BECOMES MORE ENTRENCHED OVER THE AREA WITH ALL RAIN EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TENURE OF THIS STORM SYSTEM. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES AMONG THE ECMWF AND GFS BY THIS TIME PERIOD WITH EURO CLEARING IT OUT A BIT FASTER BUT BRINGING IN NEXT SYSTEM MUCH FURTHER SOUTH THAN GFS. MOST CONFIDENCE IS FOR LATE FRI AND EARLY SAT AND INCREASED POPS TO HIGH END CHANCE THIS FAR OUT BUT FORECAST WILL LIKELY REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT TWEAKS WITH SUBSEQUENT ISSUANCES. DEESE && .AVIATION... 00Z UPDATE... LINE OF TSRA MOVING THROUGH MCN AND CSG AT TAF TIME...EXPECT STRONG GUSTY WINDS /40KT AND HIGHER/ AND POSSIBLY HAIL...SHOULD BE OUT IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. CIGS AND VSBYS ARE UP AND DOWN AT TAF TIME...BUT EXPECT WIDESPREAD LOW MVFR TO IFR CIGS WITH MVFR VSBYS MOST OF THE NIGHT. EXPECT A QUICK CLEARING TREND TUESDAY MORNING...GENERALLY BY 12Z. NORTHWEST WINDS 10-15KT GUSTING AROUND 20KT FOR MOST OF THE DAY TUESDAY. //ATL CONFIDENCE...00Z UPDATE... MEDIUM ON TIMING OF CIGS. LOW ON POTENTIAL LIFR CIGS. MEDIUM ON WIND SHIFT TIMING.

DISCUSSION... LOW PRESSURE IS DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY AS A COLD FRONT DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND LOWER GULF COAST. AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO MOVE INTO NW GEORGIA. STORMS WILL INTENSIFY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND SPREAD OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WITH THE THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND A RISK OF AN ISOLATED TORNADO. A SECONDARY AREA OF SHOWERS AND STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT TONIGHT WITH THE AREA OF MAIN CONCERN SHIFTING TO CENTRAL GEORGIA FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WATCH WILL MOST LIKELY BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE COUNTIES ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY... DISCUSSION... A DRIER BUT COLDER REGIME WILL TAKE HOLD WEDNESDAY ALTHOUGH WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT WINTRY PRECIPITATION OVER THE MOUNTAINS LATE WEDNESDAY. TRANQUIL CONDITIONS IN STORE UNTIL NEXT STORM SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. AT THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...A LIGHT CHANCE OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE EXTREME NORTHERN TIER. OTHERWISE...THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL FEATURE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE SOUTHERN TIER AND CONTINUED COOL AND WET FOR THE NORTH. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER SHOULD MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION.
