Area forecast discussion, Aug 18, 3:20 PM EDT, 3 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
320 PM EDT MON AUG 18 2014

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHES FROM THE TN VALLEY TO THE
SOUTHERN MID ATLANTIC STATES. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS SITUATED
ACROSS NORTHERN FL. 500MB ANALYSIS AND WV LOOP SHOWS A POTENT
SHORTWAVE MOVING EAST ACROSS NORTHERN MS. THIS FEATURE WILL BE THE
FOCUS FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION ACROSS THE CWFA.

THE 16Z HRRR HAS THE BEST HANDLE ON THE ONGOING CONVECTION THIS
AFTERNOON. HAVE TRIED TO ORIENT THE POPS ACCORDING TO CURRENT RADAR
TRENDS AND CLOSE TO THE HRRR SOLUTION. GOOD INSTABILITY DOES EXIST
AT THE SURFACE...BUT LAPSE RATES REMAIN POOR UNTIL THE COLD POOL
ALOFT MOVES OVERHEAD. BY THE TIME THE SHORTWAVE NEARS THE
CWFA...INSTABILITY HAS DECREASED WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING.
HOWEVER...WITH UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW...STORMS MAY MOVE REPEATEDLY OVER
THE SAME AREAS...WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE. AREAS TO THE
NORTH RECEIVED ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL OVERNIGHT/EARLY THIS
MORNING...SO ANY TRAINING STORMS OR HEAVY RAINFALL MAY CAUSE SOME
LOCALIZED FLOODING.

BY EARLY TUESDAY...THE POTENT EVENING/OVERNIGHT SHORTWAVE WILL HAVE
MOVED OFF TO THE EAST. MODELS ARE PROGGING ANOTHER...WEAKER...
SHORTWAVE TO MOVE EAST IN THE FLOW TOMORROW. CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON
EXACTLY WHERE CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP TOMORROW.

NLISTEMAA

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
LONG TERM FORECAST IS ON TRACK AND HAVE NOT MADE SIGNIFICANT
ADJUSTMENTS. ONE ADDITIONAL POINT TO NOTE IS THAT HEAT INDEX VALUES
ARE CREEPING ABOVE 100 DEGREES SOUTH OF AN ATLANTA TO ATHENS
LINE...WITH PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA APPROACHING 105 DEGREES
DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES...MAY
NEED A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THESE 105-108 DEGREE VALUES ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST PART OF THE CWA.

11/ATWELL

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
00Z GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN UNCOMMONLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD AND CONTINUE THE RECENT TREND OF BUILDING
UPPER-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION AND
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FROM MID-WEEK THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. BY THE
WEEKEND THE UPPER RIDGE IS QUITE STRONG...BUT GEORGIA REMAINS ON THE
EASTERN PERIPHERY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW VERY WARM TEMPERATURES AND
INHIBIT DIURNAL CONVECTION SOMEWHAT...BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THE
FORECAST AREA IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE TO
ELIMINATE POPS ALTOGETHER.

AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED IN AREAS THAT HAVE RECEIVED
THE BETTER HEATING THIS MORNING. NO REAL FOCUSING MECHANISM AT THE
SURFACE OR ALOFT. POTENT SHORTWAVE ACROSS NORTHERN MS WILL MOVE
EAST ACROSS AL THIS AFTERNOON. MORE ORGANIZED PRECIP IS POSSIBLE
WITH THIS FEATURE...BUT THE HI-RES MODELS DON'T HAVE A GREAT
HANDLE ON THE SITUATION. WILL LEAVE OUT ANY TEMPO/PROB GROUPS AT
THIS TIME. MODELS ALSO HAVE SOME LOW CLOUDS DEVELOPING...BUT IT
MAY BE LATER DUE TO ANY PRECIP.
