AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
258 PM EST THU DEC 24 2015

...SIGNIFICANT FLOODING THREAT CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGH CHRISTMAS ALONG WITH ISOLATED SEVERE
THREAT LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN CENTRAL GEORGIA...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS. UPPER
RIDGING NUDGES BACK TO THE NORTHWEST INTO THE REGION IN RESPONSE TO
THE NEXT DIGGING SYSTEM TO THE WEST. SURFACE RIDGE ALSO BUILDS BACK
SOME DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN THE AXIS OF
BETTER PRECIPITATION SHIFTING BACK NORTH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION NORTH OF THE STATE BY
FRIDAY NIGHT. STILL LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR ONE TO TWO INCHES
OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...AS THIS
OCCURS. EVEN THOUGH THE BETTER PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ARE SHIFTING
NORTH...I WILL NOT BE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE FLOOD WATCH AT THIS
TIME AS STREAM FLOWS REMAIN HIGH AND ANY ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION
WILL ONLY AGGRAVATE THE SITUATION. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW FOR
MORE DETAILS.

THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALSO ON THE WANE RIGHT NOW...BUT STILL
ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND SHEAR ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF HOURS FOR AN ISOLATED THREAT. TEMPERATURES REMAIN WELL ABOVE
SEASONAL NORMALS...AT OR NEAR RECORD LEVELS...THROUGH THE SHORT
TERM FORECAST PERIOD.

20

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING BASED ON THE
FOLLOWING DETAILS. MULTIPLE BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN AND TRAINING
STORMS HAVE RESULTED IN TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 7 INCHES
ACROSS NORTH AND PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA SINCE SUNDAY NIGHT.
THE LATEST BAND HAS BEEN DRAPED ALONG AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE
85 CORRIDOR WHICH SHOULD SLOWLY PUSH BACK NORTHWARD THROUGH
CHRISTMAS DAY AND BRING AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS NORTH
AND WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THIS IN
COMBINATION WITH ALREADY SATURATED SOILS AND ONGOING FLOODING OF
CREEKS...SMALL STREAMS AND RIVERS ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA
WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUED SIGNIFICANT FLOOD THREATS. IN
ADDITION...TEMPORARY URBAN AND STREET FLOODING WILL OCCUR DUE TO
POOR DRAINAGE AND CLOGGED STORM DRAINS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO MAINLY A FEW POP/WEATHER PERIODS BASED ON
GOOD CONSENSUS WITH EVOLUTION OF APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH AND
EXTENT OF PESKY ENHANCED MOISTURE FIELD. STILL RATHER ACTIVE LONG
TERM ON TAP WITH PERSISTENT SOUTH/SOUTHEASTERLY FETCH AND WELL
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS...

BAKER

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 435 AM EST THU DEC 24 2015/

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH TN VALLEY STARTS TO LIFT NORTH AND
CONTINUED INTO THE OHIO VALLEY DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. BOUNDARY
MOVES BACK SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS LATE WEEKEND INTO
THE FIRST OF THE WEEK AS UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
AND STRONG UPPER SOUTHWEST LOW DEVELOPS. WE REMAIN IN A MOIST AND
SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE AIR MASS WITH BEST POPS MAINLY NORTH. SURFACE
LOW MOVING NORTHEAST FROM THE WESTERN GULF INTO THE MS VALLEY
SHOULD PUSH THE FRONT INTO THE STATE BY TUESDAY. GFS AND ECMWF
HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES BY THIS TIME WITH THE GFS FASTER WITH THE
FROPA AND DRYING. ECMWF WANTS TO LAG THE FRONT AND DEVELOP ANOTHER
WAVE ON IT FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. HAVE KEPT POPS ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA FOR WEDNESDAY BUT ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE NORTHWEST
CORNER. WARM TEMPERATURES CONTINUE INTO THE FIRST OF THE WEEK.
