AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
1248 AM EST WED FEB 13 2013

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 712 PM EST TUE FEB 12 2013/

UPDATE...
MADE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS FOR EVENING AND OVERNIGHT POPS AND
WEATHER...MAINLY EXPANDING 100 PERCENT POPS ACROSS SOUTH PORTION
EARLY ON AND CHANGED SLIGHT CHANCE THUNDER TO ISOLATED THUNDER
WORDING. OBS HAVE BEEN INDICATING ISOLATED LIGHTNING IN THE
SOUTHERN TIER EVEN ON COOL SIDE OF WARM FRONT STILL SOUTH OF THE
AREA AND GUIDANCE SUGGESTING MORE UNSTABLE AIR NOSING INTO CENTRAL
GA OVERNIGHT AS FRONT LIFTS. STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR ALONG THE WARM
FRONT AND WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR LOOKS TO STILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF
AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS AND HAIL WITH
ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATER...MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL
GEORGIA.

HUNTSVILLE WFO DID RECEIVE SOME GRAUPEL AND ICE PELLET REPORTS
EARLIER WITH NORTHERN EXTENT OF PRECIP SO A SPECIAL WEATHER
STATEMENT WAS ISSUED ACCORDINGLY INTO THE EARLY EVENING PERIOD
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTH FOR THIS POTENTIAL MIXING IN WITH THE
SHOWERS.

SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO TEMPS AND WINDS...OTHERWISE FORECAST
LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK AND PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

BAKER

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 255 PM EST TUE FEB 12 2013/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF
DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE CENTER DEEPENING ALONG THE TX/LA GULF
COAST. THIS LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NE AND PUSH OFF THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST BY 00Z-06Z THU. THIS LOW CENTER WILL PULL GOOD
GULF MOISTURE IN ACROSS GA THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.
CURRENTLY THERE IS A WARM FRONT OUT AHEAD OF THIS LOW CENTER THAT
IS ALONG THE GA/FL BORDER. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
NORTHWARD TONIGHT WHICH WILL HELP TO INCREASE INSTABILITY ACROSS
CENTRAL GA. ISENTROPIC LIFT ALSO INCREASES NORTH OF THIS WARM
FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT SO WILL CONTINUE WITH WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDER. OVER THE PAST 48 HRS...THE AXIS OF
HEAVIEST RAINFALL HAS BEEN ACROSS CENTRAL GA WITH TWO TO FOUR
INCHES ON AVERAGE. ACROSS THE NORTH...ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN
HAS FALLEN. WITH THE EXTRA 1 TO 3 INCHES EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM
WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE FLOOD WATCH THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION DURING LATE
AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY WITH A DRYING TREND FROM WEST TO EAST
BEGINNING WED NIGHT.

01

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPDATED THE FORECAST FOR THIS SATURDAY AND THE SNOW POTENTIAL.
MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICT A DRY LOW LEVEL...SNOW IS EXPECTED TO FORM
ALOFT AND SUBLIMATE AS IT FALLS INTO THE DRY AIR NEAR THE SURFACE.
MODELS ARE ALSO BACKING OFF ON THE AMOUNT OF OVERALL MOISTURE IN
THE COLUMN. THE ONLY MODEL THAT HAS QPF ACROSS FAR NORTH GEORGIA
IS THE EURO. DECIDED TO LOWER THE POPS AND GO WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF SNOW ACROSS THE NORTH GA MOUNTAINS. OTHERWISE NO OTHER CHANGES
WERE MADE.  SEE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW.

ARG

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 107 PM EST TUE FEB 12 2013/

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE FINALLY PULLS THE REMAINING PRECIP OUT OF
THE CWA WEDNESDAY NIGHT LEAVING A DRY FORECAST FOR THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT. FOR FRIDAY...A SHORT WAVE WILL DROP OUT OF CANADA
AND INTO THE MIDWEST DEEPENING THE H5 TROUGH OVER EASTERN CANADA AND
THE GREAT LAKES. IN RESPONSE AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
CWA FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY. MOST OF THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS FRONT WILL BE ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT. LOW LEVEL
THICKNESS PROGS INDICATE A RAIN/SNOW MIX ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...HOWEVER SURFACE TEMPS WILL KEEP MOST OF
THE PRECIP IN THE LIQUID FORM OVER MOST OF THE AREA...EXCEPT FOR THE
EXTREME NORTH WHERE THERE WILL BE A RAIN/SNOW MIX. THE PRECIP SHOULD
BE OUT OF THE CWA BY 00Z SUN. A STRONG NORTHWEST UPSLOPE FLOW IN THE
MOUNTAINS SATURDAY NIGHT COULD HOLD MOISTURE AND LIGHT SNOW IN FOR A
LITTLE LONGER AND WILL KEEP A 20/30 POP GOING FOR THE NORTHEAST
MOUNTAINS SATURDAY NIGHT. IT APPEARS GUIDANCE TEMPS ARE COMING MORE
IN LINE WITH AN ARCTIC AIRMASS...BUT THEY STILL APPEAR TOO WARM AND
WILL NEED TO DROP THEM A FEW DEGREES.

MUCH DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE CWA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY AND THIS
WILL HOLD THROUGH MONDAY.

.AVIATION...
06Z UPDATE...
CIGS AT THE TERMINAL SITES WILL DIP TO IFR OVERNIGHT. A COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH GA DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE DAY...CIGS WILL
QUICKLY IMPROVE TO VFR AFTER THE FROPA. EAST WINDS WILL SHIFT TO
THE SW BETWEEN 15Z AND 18Z. GUSTS TO AROUND 25 KT WILL BE
POSSIBLE. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NW LATER THIS EVENING.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT...

...ADDITIONAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL AND PARTS OF NORTH
GEORGIA TONIGHT...

...ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...

DISCUSSION...
A STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA THROUGH
TONIGHT. GULF MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO OVERRUN THE FRONT AND INTO
NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA. THIS WILL PERIODS OF RAIN TO THE
REGION. SOME OF THE RAIN COULD BE HEAVY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
CENTRAL AND PARTS OF NORTH GEORGIA. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE
FLOODING POTENTIAL...SEE THE LATEST FLOOD WATCH STATEMENT.

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL APPROACH THE AREA TONIGHT. IN RESPONSE TO
THIS LOW...THE STATIONARY BOUNDARY SHOULD RETREAT NORTH OVERNIGHT
AS A WARM FRONT. LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS WARM FRONT AND THE RETURN OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE COULD LEAD TO
THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. AT
THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL WILL BE THE
PRIMARY THREATS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. SOME OF
THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE. THE THREAT OF SEVERE
WEATHER WILL DECREASE AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE STATE
TOMORROW DURING THE DAY.

ALSO...AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. RESIDUAL MOISTURE FROM THE
FRONT COULD PRODUCE LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS
WHICH COULD MAKE ROADS SLICK SATURDAY AND INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED
TO SUBMIT REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEB BY GOING TO
WEATHER.GOV/ATLANTA.
