Area forecast discussion, Apr 7, 11:39 AM EDT, 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 1139 AM EDT MON APR 7 2014 .UPDATE... HAVE MADE A QUICK UPDATE TO WATCH AREA TO REMOVE COUNTIES NO LONGER IN THE THREAT OF A TORNADO. BEST SHEAR AND INSTABILITY HAVE SHIFTED FARTHER SOUTH...AND BEST LINE OF CONVECTION STILL HOLDING TOGETHER MOVING THROUGH THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES AND EXTENDING INTO THE GREATER MACON AREA THIS MORNING. THE HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUES TO BE OF CONCERN...WITH NUMEROUS GAGES IN THE ATL METRO AREA RISING TO BANKFULL OR HIGHER. RAINFALL TOTALS OVER THE LAST 36-HOURS HAVE BEEN 3-3.5 INCHES ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH AND WESTERN GEORGIA...WITH ISOLATED AREAS OF NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE 4 INCHES IN THE FAR WESTERN ATL METRO AND GREATER COLUMBUS AREAS. WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE NECESSARY UPDATES TO THE GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LATEST MODELS AND RADAR TRENDS. OVERALL...LINE OF CONVECTION EVEN ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA IS PROGRESSIVELY LOOKING LESS ROBUST IN OUR CWA. MODELS INDICATING BEST CO-LOCATED SHEAR AND CAPE WOULD BE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO EARLY EVENING IN THAT AREA...WHICH WOULD BE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT. THE SHEAR ENVIRONMENT STILL REMAINS IMPRESSIVE...HOWEVER...AND HAVE NOTICED WEAK ROTATIONS EMBEDDED IN THE LINE ALREADY THIS MORNING. A TORNADO OR TWO MAY STILL BE POSSIBLE AS THIS CONVECTION CONTINUES TO PUSH ACROSS THE STATE. 31 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 751 AM EDT MON APR 7 2014/ UPDATE... ADJUSTED POPS AND SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL SOME FOR TODAY BASED ON UPDATED HI-RES GUIDANCE AND OBSERVED TRENDS. POTENTIAL FOR SOME REDEVELOPMENT ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON WITH STILL SOME LINGERING CAPE AND SHEAR. WILL HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR TRENDS BUT STILL LOOKING LIKE BEST SEVERE OR ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT IS ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL GA THIS MORNING INTO AFTERNOON. BAKER PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 547 AM EDT MON APR 7 2014/ SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... ACTIVE FIRST PERIOD ON TAP WITH DEEPENING GULF LOW SET TO TRACK RAPIDLY NEWD WITH AID OF POTENT UPPER SHORTWAVE SWINGING NEGATIVE INTO THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEYS BY MIDDAY. LINGERING CAD WEDGE IN PLACE ACROSS NE GA THAT HAS MAINLY SERVED TO STABILIZE THE AREA AND ALLOW FOR ELEVATED EMBEDDED THUNDER. HAVE RECENTLY OBSERVED DISCRETE CELL TRENDS WITH GOOD ROTATION WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. THIS IS PROGGED TO BECOME THE ENVIRONMENT FOR MAINLY CENTRAL GEORGIA AFTER ABOUT 12Z THIS MORNING. SYSTEM HAS OVERALL HAD A QUICKER TREND WITH THE MAIN PRECIP EVOLUTION. HI-RES GUIDANCE HAS AN INTERESTING SPREAD OF SOLUTIONS...BUT THE WRF-NMM AND HRRR HAVE APPEARED TO VERIFY THE BEST NEAR ONSET SO HAVE TRENDED POPS CLOSE TO THESE. THIS IN TURN BRINGS A LINE OF EMBEDDED BOWING SEGMENTS WITH POSSIBLE DISCRETE CELLS AHEAD MAINLY SOUTH OF ATLANTA AND ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA AFTER 12Z. THE CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY STRONG WINDS FROM ANY CELLS TRANSPORTING MOMENTUM DOWN FROM THE 50 KT LOW LEVEL JET...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES IN ANY LEADING DISCRETE CELLS/MERGERS AND POSSIBLE INTERACTION WITH LINGERING WEDGE FRONT. THE SHEAR ENVIRONMENT REMAINS IMPRESSIVE WITH NEARLY 40 KTS OF 0-1 BULK...AND PROGGED 200-400 0-1 KM HELICITY FOR CENTRAL GA TODAY WITH OF COURSE HIGHER VALUES IN THE MORE STABLE WEDGED NE PORTION OF THE STATE. SREF SIG TOR PARAMETER OF 1-2 NOSES UP INTO THE SOUTHEAST PORTION TODAY AS WELL. MAIN SEVERE/TOR THREAT LOOKS TO BE MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LAGRANGE TO MONTICELLO TO WASHINGTON LINE THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. FLOOD CONCERN CONTINUES MAINLY ACROSS THE CURRENT WATCH AREA BUT THE THREAT HAS DIMINISHED SOME FOR THE FAR NORTHWEST THOUGH COULD STILL SEE SOME ISOLATED EFFECTS. PWATS IN THE 99TH PERCENTILE OF LOCAL CLIMO STILL SUPPORT HIGHLY EFFICIENT GULF MOISTURE AND TRAINING OF CELLS TODAY WILL RAISE FLASH FLOOD OR AREAL FLOOD CONCERNS. UPPER TROUGH AXIS STILL WEST OF AREA WILL BRING A COLD POOL ALOFT AND SOME ENHANCED MOISTURE FOR TUESDAY WITH SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY AS WELL. HAVE THEREFORE INCLUDED CHANCE POPS AND SLIGHT THUNDER POTENTIAL MAINLY IN NORTH GA FOR AFTERNOON. HAVE LOWERED TEMPS DOWN IN THE NORTH TODAY GIVEN THE RESULT FROM YESTERDAY AND WEDGE MOISTURE OVERRUN. WENT WITH BLEND OF GUIDANCE FOR TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. BAKER LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... MAIN UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE CWA TUESDAY NIGHT KEEPING THE RISK OF PRECIP ACROSS THE CWA. LAPSE RATES REMAIN STRONG AS THE COLD CORE MOVES OVER THE CWA AND THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR A CHANCE OF TSTORMS. THE RISK OF THUNDER SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST OF THE CWA. WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE COLDEST NIGHT WITH 30S AND 40S FOR LOWS...THEN THE UPPER PATTERN BECOMES ZONAL BRINGING A WARMING TREND. THE NEXT SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE CWA WILL BE LATE SUNDAY/MONDAY TIME FRAME. MODELS DIFFER ON TIMING AND STRENGTH OF PRECIP. AT THIS TIME THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS/TSTORMS WILL BE SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY. 17 AVIATION... 12Z UPDATE... MAINLY LOW END IFR TO NEAR LIFR CIGS FOR MOST SITES THIS MORNING WITH POSSIBLE MVFR IMPROVEMENT AFTER NEAR 18Z. AREA OF HEAVY RAIN MOVING EAST WITH EMBEDDED THUNDER AND BEST CHANCE FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH SEVERE POTENTIAL MAINLY FOR KCSG AND KMCN THIS MORNING INTO AFTERNOON. EXPECT MAINLY MVFR VSBYS WITH AREA OF PRECIP BUT COULD BE LOWER WITH STORMS. WINDS INITIALLY NE BEHIND LEADING EDGE OF PRECIP FOR NORTHERN SITES THEN SWING MORE EAST AND SOUTHEAST LATER THIS MORNING WITH A SW SHIFT FOR KATL AROUND 15-16Z. SHOWERS DIMINISHING SOME FROM NW AFTER 18-20Z THOUGH SOME REDEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON CANNOT BE RULED OUT. IFR CIGS POSSIBLE AGAIN FOR NEAR 08Z TUESDAY MORNING. //ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE...
