Area forecast discussion, Jan 4, 3:18 AM EST, 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 318 AM EST SUN JAN 4 2015 ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON NORTH GEORGIA... ...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON... .SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/... FIRST WAVE OF CONVECTION AHEAD OF ADVANCING WARM FRONT PUSHED THROUGH LAST EVENING AND MUCH UNCERTAINTY WAS PRESENT ON HOW THIS WOULD AFFECT ADDITIONAL CONVECTION LATER THIS MORNING. BUT WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S SURGING NORTHWARD IN THE WAKE OF THE WARM FRONT...LOOKS LIKE THAT QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED AS RECENT RADAR TRENDS SHOW QUICKLY DEVELOPING CONVECTIVE LINE OVER EASTERN ALABAMA. SURFACE BASED CAPE OF 100 J/KG HAS SURGED ALL THE WAY INTO PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH METRO AND SHOULD CONTINUE ITS ADVANCEMENT NORTHWARD WHILE MUCAPE HAS MADE IT INTO TENNESSEE...SUPPORTIVE FOR AT LEAST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS FOR ALL AREAS OF GEORGIA THIS MORNING. AS WOULD BE EXPECTED...BEST 0-1KM SHEAR VALUES HAVE BEEN ALONG AND AHEAD OF WARM FRONT BUT CERTAINLY ENOUGH LEFTOVER IN DEVELOPING UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT TO RESULT IN A MARGINAL ENVIRONMENT FOR SEVERE STORMS FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING. 925MB WIND CORE OF CLOSE TO 50 KTS IS NOW MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE SOUTHERN END OF LINE WHICH IS OF CONCERN AS WELL BASED ON THE SETUP AND WOULD EXPECT FURTHER ENHANCEMENT OF LINE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRONG WIND GUSTS BUT ALSO THE ENHANCED THREAT OF A QUICK SPINUP. BEYOND THE INITIAL PUSH OF CONVECTION...SHOULD JUST SEE AN INCREASE IN WINDS THIS AFTERNOON IN POST FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT WITH GUSTS TO 30 KTS POSSIBLE. CLEARING SKIES BY TONIGHT AND A FAIR WX PATTERN ANTICIPATED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM. DEESE .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... EXTENDED STARTS DRY WITH HIGH PRESSURE SLIDING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WITH LONGWAVE TROUGHINESS IN PLACE OVER THE EASTERN TWO- THIRDS OF THE COUNTRY. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE SLIDES DOWN THE BACK EDGE OF THE TROUGH MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...BRINGING A STRONG BUT DRY COLD FRONT WITH IT AND USHERING IN A COLD ARCTIC AIRMASS JUST PAST MIDWEEK. DEEP LAYER CAA BUILDS IN BEHIND THE FRONT TUESDAY EVENING AND WE WILL START FEELING THE EFFECTS ON WEDNESDAY WITH DRASTICALLY COOLER TEMPERATURES THAT WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH 40 ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA. EXPECT AN EXTREMELY COLD NIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING WITH LOWS IN THE TEENS NORTH /SINGLE DIGITS MOUNTAINS AND LOWER 20S SOUTH/...AND HIGHS THURSDAY REALLY SUPER COLD AND MAYBE NOT EVEN GETTING TO FREEZING FROM THE METRO AREA NORTH...AND REMAINING BELOW 40 JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE. ADD TO THIS SOME BLUSTERY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WITH STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT WE WILL NEED A WIND CHILL ADVISORY THURSDAY MORNING...AND CANNOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A WARNING FOR EXTREME NORTHERN COUNTIES. WILL SEE SOME INCREASE IN TEMPS FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND BUT STILL BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS. NEXT RAIN POTENTIAL COMES AT THE END OF THE EXTENDED WHEN OF COURSE CONFIDENCE IS LOWER DUE TO MODEL DIFFERENCES...BUT IN GENERAL BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE A SHORTWAVE PUSHING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH PRECIP PUSHING INTO THE SOUTHEAST LATE IN THE WEEKEND. POPS WERE KEPT AT SLIGHT CHANCES FOR NOW DUE TO UNCERTAINTY. WILL HAVE TO REFINE THIS OVER THE COMING DAYS TO FIGURE OUT TIMING OF INCOMING PRECIP VS OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES. TDP && .HYDROLOGY... WITH INITIAL CONVECTIVE WAVE LAST EVENING COMBINED WITH SOME TRAINING OF ECHOS THIS MORNING...RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN HIGHER THAN ANTICIPATED. HAVE GONE WITH A FLOOD WATCH THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON AND IN FACT HAVE ALREADY ISSUED SEVERAL FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS WITH ADDITIONAL ISSUANCES LIKELY. STORM TOTAL RAINFALL OF 2 TO 4 INCHES NOW ANTICIPATED. && .AVIATION... 06Z UPDATE... CHALLENGING FORECAST IS ONGOING TONIGHT AS WARM FRONT ERODES WEDGE QUICKLY FROM SW TO NE AND CONVERTS LIFR CONDITIONS TO IFR AND EVENTUALLY MVFR. SUCH IS THE CASE RIGHT NOW OVER ATL AS OVC002 HAS TRANSITIONED TO OVC008 AND NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION TO SEE SOME MVFR BEFORE MAIN RAIN SHIELD MOVES BACK IN. TIMING OF +SHRA STILL LOOKS GOOD FOR AROUND 14Z WITH ISOLD TSRA AS WELL. WILL MONITOR TRENDS FOR POSSIBLE INCLUSION OF TS INTO THE TAF SET. OTHERWISE...EXPECT MVFR TO DEVELOP IN POST FRONT ENVIRONMENT AND BE SLOW TO CLEAR OUT. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY DURING THE DAY AS WELL WITH VALUES CLOSE TO 25 KTS LIKELY. //ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE... MEDIUM ON TS POTENTIAL. HIGH ON REMAINING ELEMENTS. DEESE && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED... STRONG TO POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED...AND PERHAPS AN ISOLATED TORNADO. 1.5 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN...POSSIBLY LEADING TO MINOR FLOODING. DISCUSSION... A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION TOMORROW...BUT A SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND MOVE INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA OVERNIGHT. INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE LIMITED BUT ANY STORMS THAT MANAGE TO DEVELOP COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND PERHAPS AN ISOLATED TORNADO. HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM MAY LEAD TO MINOR FLOODING OF THE MORE FLOOD-PRONE BASINS IN NORTH GEORGIA. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY. DAMAGING WINDS WOULD CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN THREAT BUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. BY MIDWEEK...A VERY COLD ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL PUSH INTO THE SOUTHEAST. BY THURSDAY MORNING...THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND WINDS MAY LEAD TO DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS. A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEB BY GOING TO WEATHER.GOV/ATLANTA.
