AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
329 PM EDT WED JUN 24 2015
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY FLATTEN AND RETREAT TO THE WEST.
STRONG HEATING AND WEAKENING UPPER SUPPRESSION HAS LED TO SCATTERED
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM INITIATION ALREADY THIS AFTERNOON.
SHOULD SEE ACTIVITY PEAK IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY BETWEEN NOW AND
SUNDOWN. HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A FEW REPORTS OF WIND DAMAGE AND THAT
SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT. HAIL AN INCH OR LESS IS ALSO POSSIBLE.
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH QUICKLY
AFTER SUNDOWN...BUT WITH THE FORECAST AREA ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE
RIDGE I WILL BE KEEPING AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
FOR TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT...RIDGE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN BUT
STILL EXERTING SOME INFLUENCE OVER THE AREA SO SOME INCREASE IN
PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON/EVENING BUT STILL
CHANCE POPS AT BEST FOR RIGHT NOW. ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
CANNOT BE RULED OUT ONCE AGAIN.
THURSDAY TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS...BUT SLIGHTLY
LOWER AFTERNOON MAX TEMPERATURES SHOULD KEEP HEAT INDEX VALUES BELOW
HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST GRIDS. PLEASE
SEE THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION BELOW.
11
PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY/...
GUIDANCE IN FAIRLY DECENT CONSENSUS WITH THE FORECAST AS WE SHIFT
INTO A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN WITH THE LONG AWAITED RETURN OF THE UPPER
TROUGH...PROGGED TO DIG AND AMPLIFY INTO THE SOUTHEAST STARTING
FRIDAY. WHILE IT IS A WELCOMED CHANGE FOR COOLER TEMPS...IT WILL
HAVE TO COME WITH A SIDE EFFECT OF MORE ACTIVE PRECIP POTENTIAL AS
WE BECOME SUSCEPTIBLE FOR DISTURBANCES TRACKING ALONG THE UPPER
FLOW. THE FIRST OF WHICH PHASES WITH AN ENHANCED MOISTURE FIELD FROM
THE SOUTH AND SHOULD BRING LIKELY CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR
FRIDAY. QUICKLY ON THE HEELS OF THIS...MODELS INDICATE A COLD FRONT
PASSAGE PROGGED TO PUSH ACROSS THE CWA SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO
OVERNIGHT. WHILE GUIDANCE HAS SOME SUBTLE DISCREPANCIES ON STRENGTH
AND TIMING OF THIS...IT IS STILL RATHER ROBUST FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR
AND BRINGS SOME MARGINAL ENVIRONMENTAL SHEAR...THEREFORE HAS
POTENTIAL OF MORE ORGANIZED STORM MODES. HAVE GONE LIKELY POPS AREA
WIDE FOR SATURDAY WITH EVEN SOME CATEGORICAL POPS IN THE NORTH.
STORM TOTAL QPF FROM THE FRIDAY THRU EARLY SUNDAY PERIOD RESULT IN
UPWARDS OF 2 INCHES FOR THE FAR NORTH TO NEAR 1 INCH IN CENTRAL
GA...THOUGH HIGHER LOCALIZED AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY BE THE CASE.
POST-FRONTAL SUNDAY SHOULD HAVE TEMPS FEELING DOWNRIGHT PLEASANT
COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND
MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD BE IN THE LOW TO MID 80S...ABOUT 5 DEGREES
BELOW CLIMO. AS THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA...THERE
SHOULD BE A BREAK IN POPS THOUGH THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS STAYS WEST OF
THE AREA AND MODELS REALLY START TO DIVERGE IN THE EVOLUTION OF
ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCES TRAVERSING THE FLOW GOING INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. CANNOT RULE OUT A ROGUE MCS OR TWO POSSIBLY COMING ACROSS
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY OR MORE FOCUSED ROUNDS OF CONVECTION ANYTIME
AFTER MONDAY. TO DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN ATTM FOR GREATER THAN LOW
END CHANCE POPS.
