AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
158 PM EDT WED AUG 7 2013

.PREV DISCUSSION...

UPDATE...
AREAS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE CAUSED FLASH FLOODING
ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH GEORGIA IS SHIFTING EASTWARD...HOWEVER
LIGHT SHOWERS ARE DEVELOPING BACK TO THE WEST. IN
ADDITION...STARTING TO SEE SOME TRAINING ACROSS WESTERN GEORGIA
AND THE ATL METRO AREA...SO WILL HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR THESE
AREAS FOR FLASH FLOODING. AT THIS POINT...WILL LEAVE THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH AS IS IN REGARDS TO LOCATION FOR NOW...BUT THE
POTENTIAL EXISTS THAT IT COULD NEED TO BE EXTENDED LATER DEPENDING
ON TRENDS.

IT APPEARS IT WILL REMAIN ACTIVE THROUGHOUT THE DAY...BUT DECREASE
IN COVERAGE OVERNIGHT.

OVERALL FORECAST IS ON TRACK AND MAIN CHANGE WAS JUST TO BRING
HIGHER POPS FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE ATL METRO AREA. IN
ADDITION...EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVERAGE HAS SLOWED WARMING ACROSS MUCH
OF NORTH AND WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA SO HAVE SLOWED HOURLY
TEMPERATURE TRENDS.

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...SHORT TERM SYNOPTIC
GUIDANCE REMAINS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH OVERALL TRENDS.
HOWEVER...AS WE GO THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...NAM SLOWLY BECOMES MORE
OF AN OUTLIER IN HOW IT HANDLES THE UPPER LOW /DEEPER AND THUS
MOVING MORE SLOWLY/ AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT. HAVE OPTED FOR MORE OF
A GFS/ECMWF COMPROMISE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. OVERALL FOR THE
SOUTHEAST...RIDGING WILL BUILD SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...
WHILE UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHERN CANADA CONTINUES TO SPIN AND SPIT OUT
INTERMITTENT IMPULSES. THE FIRST IS PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA TODAY.

IMMEDIATE CONCERN FOR THIS MORNING IS HEAVY RAIN IN NORTHEAST
GEORGIA. AT AFD TIME...3-HR RADAR ESTIMATES OF OVER 6 INCHES IN
SOUTHEAST DAWSON COUNTY ALONG THE ETOWAH RIVER. SEVERAL COUNTIES UP
THERE HAVE SEEN 2-4 INCHES BUT DAWSON IS THE WORST. 00Z KFFC
SOUNDING HAD PW ALMOST AT 2 INCHES...AND PW VALUES PROGGED TO
INCREASE SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE DAY. HEAVY RAIN IS DEFINITELY A
CONCERN AS CONVECTIVE COVERAGE INCREASES THROUGH THE DAY. 00Z HIRES
MODELS ARE ACTUALLY CAPTURING THE CONVECTION IN NE GEORGIA VERY
WELL...SO IF THE TRENDS FROM THESE MODELS ARE TO BE BELIEVED...THE
AREA IN NE GA WILL SAG SOUTHWEST WHILE CONVECTION DEVELOPS IN SITU
OVER NORTHEAST ALABAMA/NORTHWEST GEORGIA AFTER SUNRISE AND MOVES
SOUTHEAST...WHILE THE REMNANTS OF THE MCS OVER MISSOURI MOVE INTO
NORTHWEST GEORGIA AFTER 18Z. THIS RESULTS IN POTENTIALLY MULTIPLE
ROUNDS OF CONVECTION ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA BEFORE THE
CONVECTION DISSIPATES LATE THIS EVENING. HAVE GONE LIKELY TO
CATEGORICAL POPS IN SOME AREAS IN N GA FOR TODAY. EXCEPT FOR THE
FACT THAT WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL DRY DAYS...WOULD BE TEMPTED TO ISSUE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH. AS IT IS...CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED FLASH
FLOODING THROUGH THE DAY /AS IS ALREADY OCCURRING/. OTHER CONCERN
THIS AFTERNOON AS THE CONVECTION MOVES INTO NW GA WILL BE POTENTIAL
FOR ISOLATED DOWNBURST /WET MICROBURSTS/. DO NOT EXPECT WIDESPREAD
SEVERE BUT ISOLATED SEVERE CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

SHOULD SEE A LULL IN ACTIVITY TONIGHT BUT ANOTHER INCREASE IN
CONVECTION ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA TOMORROW AS ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE PUSHES THROUGH THE FLOW. INTRODUCED LIKELY POPS ACROSS
NORTH GEORGIA THURSDAY.

CONTINUED BIAS-CORRECTED BLEND FOR TEMPS...THOUGH SLIGHTLY
INCREASING THICKNESSES WILL COMPETE WITH WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER.
TEMPS TODAY GOT JUST A TAD WARMER THAN FORECAST SO BUMPED UP THE
BIAS-CORRECTED BLEND NUMBERS EVER SO SLIGHTLY. BUT ESPECIALLY TODAY
TEMPS SHOULD BE BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS FOR HIGHS BY 3-5 DEGREES...
BUT NEAR NORMAL FOR LOW. THURSDAY SHOULD BE A TAD WARMER BUT
CONFIDENCE NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH AND WITH HIGH-IMPACT IMMEDIATE
CONCERNS DID NOT DO SIGNIFICANT ANALYSIS FOR THURSDAY TEMPS.

TDP

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE ANCHORED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH
A SERIES OF UPPER SHORT WAVES MOVING ACROSS THE STATE. HAVE KEPT
MAINLY CHANCE POPS DURING THE DAY AND CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE
OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER FOR SATURDAY LOOKS LIKE A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
DRIFT INTO NORTH GEORGIA AND STALL FOR A DAY OR TWO. SO HAVE
INCLUDED LIKELY POPS FOR NORTH GEORGIA ON SATURDAY. UPPER FLOW
TRANSITIONS TO A TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN STATES BY THE FIRST OF
THE WEEK. SOME DRYING IS INDICATED FOR NORTH GEORGIA MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO REMOVE POPS ALTOGETHER. TEMPERATURES
LOOK SEASONAL WITH MID TO UPPER 80S NORTH TO LOW AND MID 90S
SOUTH.

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
CONVECTION CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON...BUT TIMING AT THE TAF SITES
IS VERY HARD TO TIME. HAVE CARRIED TEMPO TSRA THIS AFTERNOON
EVERYWHERE BUT MCN...BUT SO FAR TS HAS BEEN MORE SCT. WINDS AT ATL
ARE ON THE SSW SIDE HOWEVER SHOULD SHIFT BACK TO THE SSW BY LATE
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...SHOULD SEE CIGS IMPROVE THIS AFTERNOON
FROM LOW MVFR INTO HIGH MVFR OR LOW VFR.
