AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
223 PM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1152 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014/

UPDATE...
VERY MINOR UPDATES TO POPS SO FAR THIS MORNING...JUST TO MOVE THE
START OF SLIGHT CHANCE POPS UP AN HOUR THIS AFTERNOON.
OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURE AND DEWPOINT TRENDS APPEAR TO BE
PRIMARILY ON TRACK.

RW

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 733 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 404 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014/
MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT WITH POSITION OF UPPER RIDGE
DOMINATING ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. TODAY
SHOULD BE FAIRLY SIMILAR TO THE CONDITIONS SEEN ON THURSDAY... WITH
THE RIDGE HOLDING THE INFAMOUS RING OF FIRE FURTHER TO THE NORTH AND
EAST. DESPITE LACK OF UPPER SUPPORT AND RESULTING MID LEVEL
SUBSIDENCE CAP... STILL EXPECTING ISOLATED STORMS TO DEVELOP JUST
ABOUT ANYWHERE AS UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPS PRODUCE 3000-4000+ J/KG OF
SBCAPE DURING MAX HEATING. SHORT TERM MODELS ARE SHOWING A SERIES OF
UPPER DISTURBANCES TRAVERSING DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE STATE ON
SATURDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE GIVES WAY A BIT. THIS WILL WARRANT
SHOWING A BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS AT LEAST
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON. FOR
BOTH DAYS... THE HEAT AND INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STORMS TO REACH STRONG OR SEVERE LIMITS... WITH
DAMAGING WIND AND FREQUENT LIGHTING BEING THE MAIN THREATS EACH
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

ALTHOUGH NO RECORD HIGH TEMPS ARE EXPECTED... AREA TEMPS WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH WELL INTO THE 90S... WITH SOME 100 DEGREE MARKS NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL GA TODAY AND AGAIN ON
SATURDAY. THE WARM TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN
CRITICALLY HIGH HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 105 DEGREES OR HIGHER THIS
AFTERNOON AND AGAIN ON SATURDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE HEAT
ADVISORY AS POSTED FOR TODAY... GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A
COLUMBUS TO MACON TO WARRENTON LINE... AND EXPECT THIS THREAT TO
POSSIBLY REPEAT AGAIN ON SATURDAY. REMEMBER... HEAT IS THE NUMBER
ONE WEATHER RELATED KILLER... SO PLEASE PRACTICE HEAT SAFETY BY
DRINKING PLENTY OF FLUIDS... STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED BUILDING
WHENEVER POSSIBLE AND LIMIT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES... ESPECIALLY DURING
THE AFTERNOON.

NO STORMS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT UNDER STRONG RIDGE INFLUENCE... WITH
SOME PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING AFTER MIDNIGHT. OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL HOLD
IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S FOR MOST AREAS. FOR HIGHS... STARTED WITH A
MAV AND MET BLEND WITH A SLIGHT LEAN TOWARD PERSISTENCE.

39

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 404 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014/
UPPER RIDGE REMAINS CENTERED WEST OF THE CWA AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE EXTENDED AND PERSISTS INTO NEXT WEEK. BACKDOOR COLD FRONT
PUSHES IN FOR SUNDAY AND THUS BEST CHANCE OF POPS APPEAR TO BE
DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. BY MONDAY...A SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS
THE NORTHEAST...RIDGING DOWN THE APPALACHIANS. ALTHOUGH THE WIND
WILL SHIFT TO THE EAST WITH THIS AND CLOUDS WILL INCREASE...ECMWF
AND GFS ARE CONSISTENT WITH LIMITING POPS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AND ARE BASICALLY SHOWING NO PRECIP. AT THIS
POINT...CANNOT COMPLETELY FOLLOW GUIDANCE AND WITH A WEDGE LIKE
SITUATION AND IT BEING SUMMERTIME HAVE LEFT THE MENTION OF A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIP...AT LEAST FOR THE DAYTIME PERIODS. THE
OTHER UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS IS THE CHANCE OF THUNDER. GFS SHOWS
BASICALLY NEAR ZERO CAPE...BUT AGAIN WITH IT BEING
SUMMERTIME...HAVE LEFT IN ISOLATED THUNDER FOR THE DAYTIME. WILL
CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS THOUGH OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO SEE IF ITS
NECESSARY TO BACK OFF ON THUNDER. SFC RIDGE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
SHIFTS EASTWARD AND WEAKENS AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FOR
THURSDAY. GIVEN THIS TREND...HAVE SHOWN AN INCREASE IN THE CHANCE
OF RAIN/THUNDER FOR THE END OF THE EXTENDED.

ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER ON SUNDAY COMPARED
TO SATURDAY...A FEW AREAS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL
GEORGIA COULD STILL CREEP INTO THE MID 100S FOR HEAT INDEX VALUES.
WITH CLOUDS INCREASING ON MONDAY...HIGH TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE
80S FOR MUCH OF THE CWA.

501 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

DANGEROUS HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

THE MAIN THREAT FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE STRONG
WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.

DANGEROUS HEAT INDICES ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL CREATE
THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAT EXHAUSTION OR HEAT STROKE.

DISCUSSION...

AN UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE TODAY...ALLOWING FOR THE
HOT TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE. DESPITE THIS UPPER RIDGE...ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE ABLE TO DEVELOP...MAINLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH DAMAGING WINDS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
WEAKEN WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE EACH DAY. SUNDAY
APPEARS TO THE BEST DAY IN TERMS OF THE HIGHEST THUNDERSTORMS
CHANCES AS A BACKDOOR FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. A COLD FRONT
IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR THURSDAY...ONCE AGAIN
INCREASING THE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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