Area forecast discussion, Apr 7, 2:18 AM EDT, 2 hours 33 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 218 AM EDT MON APR 7 2014 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 801 PM EDT SUN APR 6 2014/ PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 342 PM EDT SUN APR 6 2014/ .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... SHORT TERM PERIOD REMAINS ACTIVE WITH SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL EVENT UNFOLDING. MODELS CONSISTENT WITH SUGGESTING HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH DEEPENING SURFACE LOW AND ACCOMPANYING STRONG SHORTWAVE. THIS EVENT CONTINUES TO BE A DUAL THREAT...WITH BOTH HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING EXPECTED THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE RAINFALL TODAY AS BEEN ISENTROPICALLY DRIVEN...THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPING ACTIVITY TONIGHT. HAVE REALLY KEPT MINIMAL THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN ACROSS PORTIONS OF WEST AND NORTH GEORGIA INTO TONIGHT. THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS DIMINISHES SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT...AND SO HAVE ONLY INDICATED THUNDER ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN GEORGIA AFTER MIDNIGHT. MODELS AGREE WITH USHERING BEST CAPES INTO THE AREA LATE MORNING MONDAY...SO HAVE INDICATED INCREASED TS POTENTIAL FROM THE WEST THROUGH MID MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON MONDAY. CAD IN PLACE ACROSS NORTHEAST GEORGIA SHOULD KEEP THUNDERSTORMS AT BAY AT LEAST INITIALLY...AND AS THE CAD ERODES INTO THE AFTERNOON...HAVE SPREAD TS POPS INTO PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST GEORGIA AS WELL. THIS IS A HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW SHEAR VALUES OF 35-45 KT /0-1 KM/...50-70 KT /0-6 KM...HIGHEST NEAR THE CAD/ AND HELICITY OF 300-400 M2S2. MODELED INSTABILITY HAS INCREASED SOMEWHAT...BUT OVERALL CONSENSUS CONTINUES TO BE IN THE 400-700 J/KG RANGE...WITH THE HIGHEST ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA. GIVEN THE HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT...ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS CAN BE EXPECTED... ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM LAGRANGE TO FOREST PARK TO ATHENS. ANY CHANGE IN THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY WOULD INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE STORMS. THE MAIN CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES IN THIS AREA. THE HIGHEST UNCERTAINTY WITH SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ALONG THE CAD BOUNDARY/WEDGE FRONT WHERE LOW LEVEL VORTICITY COULD SUPPORT STRONG STORM DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA. TEMPERATURES TODAY HAVE BEEN QUITE A BIT LOWER THAN INITIALLY EXPECTED WITH THE CLOUDS/PRECIPITATION REALLY INHIBITING INSOLATION. THE MODEL GUIDANCE WAS SIGNIFICANTLY TOO WARM FOR TODAY. HAVE GONE WITH A GUIDANCE BLEND...TRENDING A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER FOR THE HIGHS AND LOWS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. FOR QPF...SEE THE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW. 31 && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD. LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW WRAP AROUND MOISTURE POSSIBLY SPREADING A FEW PATCHY AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN ACROSS MAINLY NORTH GA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA AND MAINTAINS A DRY FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY. A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT MAY SPREAD A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY. STAY TUNED FOR THIS POTENTIAL. /39 PREV LONG TERM DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 442 AM EDT SUN APR 6 2014/ LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE LONG TERM. THE MAIN TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWA LATE TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. AFTER THIS PASSES THROUGH THE REST OF THE LONG TERM WILL REMAIN DRY. A NORTHWEST FLOW AND THE SURFACE HIGH SETTLING IN OVER THE CWA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BRING ANOTHER COLD NIGHT TO THE CWA WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE 30S. AFTER WEDNESDAY NIGHT A MORE ZONAL SETS UP OVER THE CWA BRINGING A GOOD MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES. 17 && .HYDROLOGY... HAVE EXPANDED THE FLOOD WATCH FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST TO ACCOUNT FOR OUR LATEST THOUGHTS ON QPF. SO FAR TODAY THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE AREA HAS OBSERVED THE HIGHEST RAINFALL TOTALS /1.5-2.5 INCHES SOUTH OF MACON AND WEST OF AMERICUS/. CONTINUE TO EXPECT WIDESPREAD 2-3 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...AND PORTIONS OF THE FAR WESTERN METRO ATLANTA AREA INTO WESTERN AND NORTHWESTERN GEORGIA /INCLUDING ROME...CEDARTOWN...CARROLLTON AND SURROUNDING AREAS/...COULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 3.5 INCHES. RUNOFF FROM THE RAINFALL TONIGHT AND MONDAY WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT RISES ON AREA CREEKS AND RIVERS WHICH COULD RESULT IN MINOR FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS. PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE AREAS INCLUDE LOOKOUT CREEK NEAR NEW ENGLAND...AND BIG CREEK...SUWANEE CREEK AND ALLATOONA CREEK IN THE ATLANTA METRO AREA. ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE. OVERALL...THESE VALUES ARE IN LINE WITH THE WPC QPF GUIDANCE...AND WITH MODELED PWS ABOVE 1.5 FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR /99TH PERCENTILE LOCALLY/ THESE AMOUNTS LOOK REASONABLE. MODELS COULD BE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH QPF...AND THE FORECAST COULD CHANGE SLIGHTLY AS THIS EVENT UNFOLDS. && .AVIATION... 06Z UPDATE... INITIAL IFR TO NEAR LIFR CIGS OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WITH SOME MVFR IMPROVEMENT AFTER ABOUT 18Z-20Z. RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WITH MVFR VSBYS CONTINUE THROUGH ABOUT 18Z- 22Z ALSO WITH BEST -TSRA CHANCES NEAR THE 15Z-19Z PERIOD SO HAVE KEPT PROB30 GROUP. STRONG GUSTY WINDS MAIN THREAT WITH STORMS. OTHERWISE ENHANCED WINDS OUT OF EAST TO SE 12-14 KTS GUSTING 20-25 KTS SWINGING SW NEAR KATL AFTER ABOUT 18Z.
