Area forecast discussion, Dec 2, 12:36 AM EST, 1 hour 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 1236 AM EST WED DEC 2 2015 .UPDATE... UPDATED FOR THE 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 633 PM EST TUE DEC 1 2015/ UPDATE... RAIN SHIELD IS ROUGHLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 85. HI-RES MODELS KEEP THE RAIN SHIELD NEARLY STATIONARY OVERNIGHT. IT REALLY DOESN'T BEGIN TO KICK OUT UNTIL SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH LATE IN THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. HAVE TWEAKED POPS A BIT...ACCORDING TO CURRENT RADAR TRENDS AND HI-RES MODEL TRENDS. WEDGE IS BUILDING SOUTHWESTWARD...BRINGING LOW CIGS AND FOG. HAVE HELD ONTO THE SE WINDS A LITTLE LONGER THAN THE MODELS HAVE PROGGED. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE A GREAT HANDLE ON THE WEDGE AND WHEN IT WILL ERODE. ALSO...HAVE TWEAKED HOURLY TEMP/DEW GRIDS. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 236 PM EST TUE DEC 1 2015/ SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF NORTH GA THRU 7PM WEDNESDAY. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS. ACTIVE/SOGGY SHORT TERM IN STORE. STRONG...NEARLY STACKED...CLOSED LOW OVER THE MIDWEST WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUSHING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE SHORT TERM. RADAR IMAGERY REVEALS A BROAD SWATH OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...SOME OF WHICH HAS BEEN AFFECTING FAR N GA FOR MOST OF THE DAY ALREADY. RADAR TRENDS ALSO SHOWING PRECIP FILLING IN ACROSS ALABAMA...AS CONSTANT FLUX OF TROPICAL PACIFIC MOISTURE AIDS IN ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. WITH INCREASING JET SUPPORT AND MID LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS...RAIN WILL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN ITSELF THRU THE PERIOD. CHANCES WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE FROM NW TO SE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH ONE MORE NIGHT OF MILD LOW TEMPERATURES. MINIMAL INSTABILITY WILL KEEP THUNDER OUT OF THE FORECAST. COLD FRONT/RAIN SHIELD WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE SOUTH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES OVERNIGHT WILL BE ACROSS NORTH GA...INCLUDING THE ATL METRO. MODELS INDICATE A WEAK SFC LOW AND ENHANCED MID LEVEL MOISTURE PLUME DEVELOPING IN THE NORTHERN GULF ON WEDNESDAY...SENDING A SECONDARY SURGE OF PRECIP ACROSS THE STATE. THIS WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CWA WHERE IT WILL MERGE WITH THE COLD FRONT. RAIN WILL END FROM NW TO SE DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND SHOULD BE OUT OF OUR HAIR BY 06Z THURS. SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY CLEAR THINGS OUT AND BRING PLEASANT...ALBEIT COOLER... WEATHER TO THE AREA GOING INTO THE LONG TERM. KOVACIK LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... ONLY TWEAKS TO THE LONG TERM BASED ON THE LASTEST GUIDANCE. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND EUROPEAN AFTER SUNDAY WITH THE GFS MUCH WETTER. BDL PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY EVENING WILL BE CONFINED TO THE SOUTHEASTERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND SHOULD BE ENDING FAIRLY QUICKLY EVEN THERE. PRIMARY MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE CONTINUED THE DRY TREND FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THIS EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...AND I HAVE WITHDRAWN THE LOW-SCALE POPS WE HAVE BEEN CARRYING THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. GFS AND ECMWF REMAIN FAIRLY SIMILAR CONCERNING THE SURFACE PATTERN THROUGH THIS FORECAST WITH A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER AND DOMINATING THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTRY. THE LARGER SCALE NATURE OF THE UPPER PATTERN IS SIMILAR BETWEEN THEM AS WELL...BUT THE FINER DETAILS REMAIN CHAOTIC. BOTH ARE INDICATING THAT ENOUGH MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE REGION AS THE SURFACE RIDGE WEAKENS EARLY NEXT WEEK...ALLOWING LOW POPS TO CREEP BACK INTO THE PICTURE. 20 HYDROLOGY... THE MAIN WEATHER FOCUS WILL BE THE SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH NORTH GA TONIGHT. A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL PASS OVER AND PARALLEL TO THE FRONT. THIS PATTERN COMBINED WITH OROGRAPHIC LIFT AND TRAINING ECHOES WILL PRODUCE PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN OVER PORTIONS OF NORTH GA THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. WPC QPF AROUND TWO INCHES TENDS TO BLEND THE MAJOR SYNOPTIC AND HI- RES MODEL 24HR QPF THROUGH 00Z THU. ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS NEAR THREE INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE RIDGELINES OF NORTH GA. HAVE ACCEPTED THE COMPROMISE OF AMOUNTS AND HEAVY RAIN LOCATIONS AS FAR SOUTH AS NORTH FULTON AND DEKALB COUNTIES. STILL LOOKING FOR AROUND 1.5 INCHES OF RAIN TO CAUSE THE BIG CREEK TO REACH FLOOD STAGE FROM CUMMING TO ALPHARETTA. CONTINUE TO EXPECT LOCALIZED STREET FLOODING DUE TO CLOGGED DRAINS FROM LEAF DEBRIS. SEVERAL OTHER NORTHWEST GA CREEK AND RIVER FORECAST POINTS WILL REACH OR EXCEED FLOOD STAGE BY A FOOT OR TWO. 16 && .AVIATION... 06Z UPDATE... A MIX OF VFR/MVFR/IFR CIGS WILL BECOMING IFR/MVFR OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE RAIN AREA SLOWLY SINKS SOUTH. THE RAIN WILL END FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON AND AS IT DOES CIGS WILL BECOME VFR. ALL SITES SHOULD BE VFR BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS ARE ALREADY BECOMING SOUTHSOUTHEAST AND AS THE COLD FRONT GETS CLOSER...WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST EARLY THIS MORNING AND THEN WEST LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.
