AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
301 PM EDT TUE SEP 2 2014

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
WEAK IMPULSE IN THE FLOW PUSHING ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS TODAY AND
THIS MAY HELP THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA
CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. AFTER THIS THOUGH...NO SIGNIFICANT FEATURE AT
THE UPPER LEVELS TO KEY IN ON IN THE SHORT TERM. BASICALLY WILL
CONTINUE AGAIN TOMORROW WITH THE DIURNALLY DRIVEN THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH MUCAPE VALUES OVER 2000 J/KG
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE. THE MAIN THREATS TOMORROW AFTERNOON APPEAR TO BE GUSTY
WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

FAIRLY BIG DISCREPANCIES IN THE TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE FOR TOMORROW
WITH THE MAV BEING WARMER THAN THE MET. AT ATL...THERE IS A SIX
DEGREE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO FOR HIGHS TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. MUCH OF THIS IS CAUSED BY MORE CLOUD COVERAGE DEPICTED BY
THE NAM. THINK THE NAM IS OVERDOING CLOUD COVERAGE THOUGH SO STARTED
WITH A BLEND...AND THEN LEANED TOWARDS THE WARMER SIDE FOR HIGH
TEMPS TOMORROW. ONCE AGAIN BOTH HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE
ABOVE NORMAL.

11

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NO CHANGES TO THE CURRENT LONG TERM. SEE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW...

17

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
/ISSUED 325 AM EDT TUE SEP 2 2014/
SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED
EACH DAY THROUGH THE LONG TERM.

WEAK TROUGH STILL IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL GA WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT
WILL EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE ON THURSDAY. ALOFT...A WEAK SHEAR AXIS
WILL REMAIN THROUGH FRIDAY. THE DISSIPATING BOUNDARY AND SHEAR AXIS
ALOFT MAY SERVE TO FOCUS ANY CONVECTION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

A WEAK FRONT IS STILL ON TRACK FOR THE MID TO LATE WEEKEND. WITH
SUCCESSIVE RUNS...THE MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE SOUTHWARD PROGRESS OF
THE BOUNDARY. CURRENTLY...THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN GA
LATE SATURDAY/EARLY SUNDAY THEN STALL ACROSS CENTRAL GA BY LATE
SUNDAY/EARLY MONDAY. THE FRONT LOOKS TO BECOME DIFFUSE BY TUESDAY.

TEMPS STILL EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
MAIN CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON IS POTENTIAL OF CONVECTION AT THE TAF
SITES. TIMING IS A CHALLENGE...BUT BASED ON CURRENT RADAR
TRENDS...TSRA MAY BE MORE LIKELY AT ATL SITES OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS RATHER THAN LATER THIS EVENING. WITH THESE STORMS EXPECT
SHORT LIVED VSBY RESTRICTIONS...BKN-OVC CIGS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
A WIND SHIFT NEAR OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
HIGH CONFIDENCE ON CIGS. MEDIUM ON WIND AND VSBY DUE TO TSRA POTENTIAL.
