AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
436 AM EDT TUE OCT 14 2014

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS ADVERTISED... A SQUALL LINE IS CURRENTLY PUSHING ACROSS WEST
GA THIS MORNING... AND PROGGD TO PUSH TO NEAR AN ATLANTA TO MACON
LINE BETWEEN 6 AND 9 AM... THEN ACROSS EAST GA DURING THE
AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH A WEAKENING TREND IS EXPECTED AS THE LINE OF
STORMS PUSHES EAST THIS MORNING... AN ISOLATED BURST OF POTENTIALLY
DAMAGING WIND ALONG THE LEADING EDGE THROUGH IS THE MAIN CONCERN
THROUGH MID MORNING. THIS THREAT WILL GREATLY DIMINISH FOR EAST GA
DURING THE AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION TO STRONG WINDS... AN ISOLATED
WEAK TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AND
WEAK INSTABILITY NOTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE LINE OF STORMS. THIS
CONCERN HAS PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF A TORNADO WATCH FOR PARTS OF
NORTH AND CENTRAL GA THROUGH 11 AM THIS MORNING. ALL THESE THREATS
WILL GREATLY DIMINISH ONCE THE LINE OF STORMS PUSHES EAST OF YOUR
AREA. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR
BRIEF FLASH FLOODING ALONG LOW LYING...FLOOD PRONE AREAS THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING.

MODELS DO SHOW A SECOND LINE OF STORMS POSSIBLY DEVELOPING LATER
THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT... AND THIS WOULD PUSH
ACROSS THE ATLANTA METRO AREA SOMETIME BETWEEN 3 PM AND 6 PM THIS
AFTERNOON IF DEVELOPS. AT THIS TIME... THE ONLY THREAT EXPECTED
WITH THIS SECOND DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ISOLATED BURST OF STRONG
WINDS.

WILL KEEP A WIND ADVISORY UP THROUGH 8 AM FOR THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2000 FEET DUE TO STRONG MID LEVEL WINDS POSSIBLY
MIXING DOWN WITH ANY CONVECTION.

OTHERWISE... THE EXPECT THE FRONT TO PUSH EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WITH THE CUT OFF UPPER LOW MEANDERING OVER THE OHIO AND TN
VALLEYS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL SPREAD CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY
SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS MAINLY NORTH GA THROUGH
THE REST OF THE PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES... WILL COOL DOWN BEHIND THE FRONT... WITH LOWS
GENERALLY IN THE 50S TONIGHT... ALTHO THIS MAY BE TRICKY WITH WRAP
AROUND CLOUDS POSSIBLY HOLDING TEMPS SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN
EXPECTED. CLOUDS AND COOL WESTERLY WINDS SHOULD HELP HOLD HIGHS ON
WEDNESDAY IN THE 60S AND 70S FOR ALL AREAS.

39

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
LONG TERM MODELS ARE IN GOOD GENERAL AGREEMENT LIFTING UPPER LOW
SLOWLY NORTHWARD THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY...WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE SOUTHEAST WITH NEAR ZONAL FLOW ALOFT BY
THE WEEKEND. THE UPPER LOW IS STILL CLOSE ENOUGH TO FORECAST AREA
TO KEEP CLOUDS ACROSS FAR NORTH GEORGIA FOR THURSDAY...AND THERE
ARE A COUPLE OF RIPPLES IN THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN OVER THE
WEEKEND... BUT WITH LITTLE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH MAIN IMPACT WILL
BE AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS. GENERALLY DRY FORECAST INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. EXPECT TEMPERATURES GENERALLY NEAR OR JUST BELOW NORMAL
THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIODS.

ATWELL

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
EARLY TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS
CONTINUE TO BE ABOVE 2 INCHES ACROSS NORTH AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA... WITH 1-1.5 FROM THE SE ATL METRO AREA THROUGH
MACON... AND BELOW 1 INCH FURTHER SE. THIS RAINFALL OVER AN
ALREADY SATURATED GROUND WILL MAKE THE AREA PRIME FOR POSSIBLE
FLOODING ISSUES TODAY. THEREFORE... WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR MUCH OF NORTH GA THROUGH 2 AM TONIGHT. SITE SPECIFIC
MODELS INDICATE THAT WITH THE FORECAST AMOUNT OF PRECIP...SEVERAL
RIVERS COULD SEE BANKFULL OR MINOR FLOODING CONDITIONS...
PARTICULARLY IN THE CONASAUGA RIVER AND LOOKOUT CREEK BASINS.

.AVIATION...
06Z UPDATE...
MVFR CIGS WILL PREVAIL THIS MORNING IN ADVANCE OF SQUALL LINE THAT
IS EXPECTED TO PUSH ACROSS THE ATLANTA TAF SITES BETWEEN 09-12Z THIS
MORNING. HIRES MODELS SHOW A SECOND LINE OF STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG
THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT... AND THIS LINE MAY PUSH ACROSS THE ATLANTA
TAF SITES BETWEEN 16-19Z TODAY... BUT STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTY ON THIS
SECOND LINE AT THIS TIME. EXPECT CIGS TO OCCASIONALLY LOWER TO IFR
LEVELS WITH THE STRONGER CONVECTION... BUT MVFR CIGS SHOULD PREVAIL
UNTIL IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED TO VFR AFTER THE COLD FRONT LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. EXPECT WRAP AROUND CLOUDS TO SPREAD MVFR CIGS BACK INTO
THE AREA LATER TONIGHT... MAYBE AROUND 07-10Z WED. OTHERWISE...
WINDS WILL BE SSE AROUND 10G20KTS THROUGH MID TO LATE MORNING...
THEN VEER SSW BY EARLY AFTERNOON... THEN WESTERLY BY LATE AFTERNOON

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

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

...SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH
AND CENTRAL GEORGIA TODAY...

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

THE PRIMARY HAZARDS ARE DAMAGING WINDS AND VERY HEAVY RAIN WITH
FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE. AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT
THROUGH THIS MORNING. THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR SEVERE STORMS
TODAY IS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE MOVING THROUGH NORTH
AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.

DISCUSSION...

THE SQUALL LINE FROM ATLANTA TO MACON IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO
EAST GEORGIA THROUGH LATE MORNING. ALTHOUGH A WEAKENING TREND IS
EXPECTED...AND LIMITED INSTABILITY IS NOTED...THE VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW OF THE STORMS IN THE LINE TO
BE SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS. A FEW BRIEF...GENERALLY WEAK
TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE LINE OR IN CELLS JUST
AHEAD OF THE LINE.

A SECOND LINE OF STORMS MAY REDEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON ALONG
THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT...AND THIS WOULD PUSH ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA BETWEEN 2 PM AND 9 PM. AT THIS TIME... THE ONLY THREAT
EXPECTED WITH THIS SECOND DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ISOLATED STRONG
WINDS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS REQUESTED THROUGH NOON ACROSS NORTH
