Area forecast discussion, Mar 18, 7:54 PM EDT, 59 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.
