AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
404 AM EST SUN JAN 12 2014

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE SHORT TERM STARTS OFF DRY AND ENDS WET. CURRENT SATELLITE LOOP
SHOWS CLEAR SKIES OVER THE AREA WITH EXITING COLD FRONT OVER THE
ATLANTIC JUST OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD. HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING
INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST AND SHOULD BE CENTERED OVER THE AL/GA/FL
BORDER BY 18Z TODAY. THIS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL NOT STAY AROUND
FOR TO LONG AS IT CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST THROUGH MONDAY. BY 12Z
MONDAY THE RIDGE WILL HAVE MOVED OFF THE SC/GA/FL COAST WHICH WILL
ALLOW NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM TO MOVE IN. THE NEXT SYSTEM IS ACTUALLY A
CONGLOMERATION OF 2 SEPARATE SYSTEMS THAT JOIN FORCES TO BRING
PRECIP BACK TO THE REGION. BY 06Z MONDAY...THERE IS A DEVELOPING
SHORTWAVE OVER THE NORTHWESTERN GULF AND A DEEPENING LOW CENTER OVER
ONTARIO CANADA JUST NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR. AS THE LOW CENTER TRACKS
EAST ACROSS CANADA IS HAS A WEAK COLD FRONT TRAILING ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKE STATES AND MS RIVER VALLEY. AS THE SHORTWAVE OVER THE
GULF DEVELOPS...IT GETS PULLED NORTHEASTWARD BY THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WHICH HELPS TO ENHANCE THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE. BY 18Z MON THIS
DEVELOPED FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM QUEBEC CANADA TO THE
LA/MS/AL GULF COAST. NW GA WILL START TO SEE RAIN FROM THIS SYSTEM
BY THEN WITH THE REST OF THE AREA SEEING PRECIP THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING. AS OF NOW THERE IS VERY LITTLE INSTABILITY WITH THIS SYSTEM
SO HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP THUNDER OUT OF THE FORECAST. LOOKS LIKE THIS
WILL BE A RAIN PRODUCER. WE SHOULD ONLY SEE 0.25 TO 1.0 INCHES OF
PRECIP FROM THIS NEXT SYSTEM. WITH THE GROUND ALREADY SATURATED FROM
YESTERDAYS RAIN EVENT THERE MAY BE SOME MINOR FLOODING. WILL HAVE TO
KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE SITUATION. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR OR
SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS.

01

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MODELS BASICALLY ON TRACK WITH NORTHERN GULF LOW AND UPPER SHORT
WAVE SWINGING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. POPS
WILL BE DIMINISHING ACROSS THE CWA MONDAY NIGHT. WITH UPPER TROUGH
DEEPENING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST INTO WEDNESDAY...SOME WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE CIRCULATES ACROSS NORTH GA TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
THICKNESS VALUES STILL LOOK TO SUPPORT A MIX OF WINTER
PRECIPITATION AND HAVE CONTINUED WITH THAT FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY WEDNESDAY. THE EAST COAST TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH
THE END OF THE PERIOD...BUT THE SOUTHEAST REMAINS DRY THURSDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY.

MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GA WITH W TO NW WINDS

MAY SEE A FEW LOW TO MID LEVEL CLOUDS ROTATING AROUND THE BACKSIDE
OF THE MAIN LOW CENTER BUT THEY SHOULD STAY NORTH OF THE TAF
SITES. NO PRECIPITATION OR RESTRICTIONS TO VSBYS EXPECTED.
