Area forecast discussion, May 28, 7:29 PM EDT, 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
729 PM EDT WED MAY 28 2014

.UPDATE...
OUTFLOW DRIVEN CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWFA
FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HAVE UPDATED THE POPS ACCORDING TO THE
LATEST RADAR TRENDS. ALSO...THE HRRR DOES KEEP SOME ISOLATED
ACTIVITY IN AFTER 06Z...SO HAVE DONE THE SAME.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 341 PM EDT WED MAY 28 2014/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE GENERAL TRENDS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM
FORECAST PERIOD. STRANDED UPPER LOW OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY GETS NO KICKER TO MOVE AS MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOW IT DOES
NOT CONNECT WITH THE EAST COAST UPPER TROUGH BEFORE THE BUILDING
UPPER RIDGE ISOLATES IT ONCE AGAIN. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED DIURNAL
CONVECTION PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. INDICATIONS
ARE THAT MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES SLOWLY DECREASE THROUGH THE PERIOD SO
CHANCES FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...ALTHOUGH NOT ZERO...
REMAIN SMALL AND SHOULD ACTUALLY DIMINISH SOME AGAIN THURSDAY.
OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN MILD AND NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS
WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE.

20

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LONG TERM FORECAST STILL LOOKS VERY SIMILAR WITH PULSE
THUNDERSTORM CONVECTION EACH DAY THROUGH SATURDAY BUT LOSING SOME
INSTABILITY FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS A WEDGE HELPS TO STABILIZE
THE AREA. CURRENT LONG TERM FORECAST IS ON TRACK SO VERY LITTLE IN
TERMS OF CHANGES. THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.

11

/ISSUED AT 358 AM EDT WED MAY 28 2014/
MODELS ARE IN GOOD CONSENSUS THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG TERM. WEAK
UPPER LOW WITH A BROAD AND DEEP MOISTURE FIELD LINGERS ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST CONUS INTO THE WEEKEND ALLOWING FOR DECENT CHANCE POPS FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING PERIODS THEN
SOME CONTINUED WEAKER ACTIVITY POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT. LITTLE TO NO
SHEAR WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL KEEP CONVECTIVE MODE OF THE
PULSE VARIETY WITH EVOLUTION LARGELY OUTFLOW DRIVEN OR RIDING ALONG
WAVES OF GULF MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTHWEST. SOME STRONG AND FEW
SEVERE STORMS STILL LOOK LIKE A GOOD BET AS HAS BEEN THE RECENT
TREND.

UPPER RIDGING BEGINS TO TAKE OVER SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY AND A SFC
HIGH SLIDING SOUTH ALONG THE EAST COAST LOOKS TO RESULT IN HYBRID
CAD. THE WEDGE FRONT LATER SATURDAY MAY PROVIDE SOME ENHANCED
FORCING AND FOCUS FOR CONVECTION. WHILE THE CAD LOOKS TO BE
SHORT-LIVED AS THE PARENT HIGH SLIDES EVENT FARTHER SOUTH...THE
RIDGING SHOULD STILL SERVE TO STABILIZE MUCH OF THE AREA FROM THE
EAST AND LESSEN SHOWER/STORM POTENTIAL SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. BETTER
STORM CHANCE STARTS TO RETURN TO THE AREA BY TUESDAY AS THE RIDGE
BREAKS DOWN.

FOR TEMPS...MADE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS FROM A GENERAL BLEND OF GUIDANCE
AND VALUES GENERALLY 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL LOOK REASONABLE.
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS ON TAP SUNDAY AND MONDAY FROM BRIEF WEDGE.

.AVIATION...
00Z UPDATE...
OUTFLOW DRIVEN CONVECTION WEAKENING NEAR ATL THIS EVENING.
EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT TWO OR THREE HOURS.
ALSO...SOME PATCHY MVFR IS POSSIBLE WHERE IT RAINS. WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR AND MAY HAVE TO ADD TO THE ATL TAF IN LATER AMENDMENTS.
SCT AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AGAIN ON THURSDAY.
