NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
810 PM EDT TUE APR 14 2015

.UPDATE...

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 324 PM EDT TUE APR 14 2015/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

PERSISTENT SOUTHWEST FLOW /ALOFT/ WITHIN UNSEASONABLY MOIST AIRMASS
WILL WILL SUPPORT PERIODS OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGHOUT THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

CONVECTION HAS ERUPTED ALONG THE TX/LA/MS GULF COAST TODAY. THIS
COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH AND
EAST THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH THE MORE SIGNIFICANT (STRONGER)
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LIKELY REMAINING ALONG THE COAST WHERE DEEPER
THETA-E/INSTABILITY AXIS WILL EXIST. MLCAPE OF 500-1500 J/KG ACROSS
THE AREA SHOULD SUPPORT ISOLD-SCT SHRA/TSRA THROUGH SUNSET THIS
EVENING BEFORE EFFECTS OF GULF COAST "WAVE" APPROACHES.

WEDNESDAY WILL GENERALLY BE WET WITH LOW CLOUDS/DRIZZLE AND
SCATTERED SHOWERS. SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE MID
ATLANTIC WILL GRADUALLY SEND WEDGE FRONT SOUTH/WEST ENTERING
NORTHEAST GA BY MIDDAY. SHALLOW COOL AIR IS EXPECTED TO MAKE IT
SOUTH OF THE KATL AREA BTWN 00-03Z/THU. AS THIS IS OCCURRING...
INTENSE UPR LVL SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL STREAM NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
REGION WHICH WILL SUPPORT ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF RAIN AND PERHAPS
EMBEDDED THUNDER...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WEDGE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. GIVEN PWAT VALUES RUNNING NEARLY TWICE THE NORMAL
VALUES FOR MID APRIL...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR IN ASSOCIATION
WITH S/W LATE TONIGHT AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. GENERAL RAINFALL
(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT) OF 1 TO 2 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED
ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH/CENTRAL GA...WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS APPROACHING
3 INCHES. TEMPS WILL BE MILD WEDNESDAY DESPITE CLOUDS AND RAIN BUT
EXPECT MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS BY WED NIGHT/THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF A KATL TO KAHN LINE.

DJN.83

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

NO SIGNIFICANT PATTERN CHANGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS SOUTHWESTERLY
UPPER FLOW DOMINATES AHEAD OF THE CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. THIS KEEPS THE REGION IN A GENERALLY WET PATTERN. ALTHOUGH
THE GENERAL PATTERN IS SIMILAR BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF...THERE ARE
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND
CONCERNING THE STRENGTH...LOCATION AND MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER LOW AS
IT FINALLY KICKS OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE GFS IS MUCH DEEPER
AND MORE AGGRESSIVE WHILE THE ECMWF WEAKENS THE SYSTEM NOTICEABLY.
WITH SUCH A WIDE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO I AM NOT INCLINED TO
MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE CURRENT LONG TERM FORECAST GRIDS
WHICH SEEM TO ME TO BE A REASONABLE COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE TWO
SOLUTIONS. PLEASE SEE THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION
BELOW.

WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR RAINFALL TOTALS OF 2 TO 4
INCHES THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. THIS RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED TO BE SPREAD OUT THROUGH THE PERIOD AND ALTHOUGH NO
SPECIFIC PERIOD CAN YET BE SINGLED OUT FOR A FLOOD WATCH...WE WILL
NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON RAIN ACCUMULATIONS AS WELL AS SOIL
MOISTURE AND RIVER LEVELS.

20

PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION
/WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/.../ISSUED AT 356 AM EDT TUE APR 14
2015/

A WET/UNSETTLED PATTERN LOOKS TO PERSIST THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.

ANOTHER COLD AIR DAMMING EVENT SETS UP WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY
WITH A CONTINUED DEEP MOIST SW FLOW ALOFT WITH EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES.
THIS WILL CONTINUE HIGH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS SUPPORTS THE THREAT FOR FLOODING THROUGH THE
WEEK BUT ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE MIDDLE TO END OF THIS WEEK AS WE SEE
THE IMPACTS OF MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF RAINFALL OVER SATURATED SOIL...AS
THIS GENERAL WET PATTERN CONTINUES.

DEEP MOISTURE EXITS THE AREA FOR MONDAY LENDING TO MORE HIT AND MISS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BELOW NORMAL
ON THURSDAY DUE TO THE DAMMED AIRMASS. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE MAINLY
WITHIN SEVERAL DEGREES OF NORMAL THE REST OF THE PERIOD.

.AVIATION...
00Z UPDATE...
RAIN AND EMBEDDED TSRA MOVING INTO THE STATE THIS EVENING...
IMPACTING SEVERAL TERMINALS. ALTHOUGH COVERAGE OF TSRA IS EXPECTED
TO DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...RAIN LOOKS TO IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH MUCH
OF THE TAF PERIOD. CIGS EXPECTED TO DEGRADE QUICKLY
OVERNIGHT...WITH MOST LOCATIONS EXPECTING IFR AFTER 09Z. SLOW
IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY. W WINDS
WILL BECOME VRB 12-15Z...THEN SHIFT TO THE EAST AFTER 16-18Z.
ANOTHER CHANCE OF TSRA IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY...BUT TAF
HIGHLIGHTS BEST TS POTENTIAL AFTER 22Z.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH AND
CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT...
...PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH TONIGHT...

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

ALTHOUGH SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED...LIGHTNING...BRIEF GUSTY
WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN ARE POSSIBLE WITH THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
TONIGHT.

DISCUSSION...

A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL INTERACT WITH
INCREASING INSTABILITY AND DEEP MOISTURE TO PRODUCE ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1/4 TO
1 INCH...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH
TONIGHT. ANY TRAINING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SAME
AREAS COULD RESULT IN BRIEF PONDING OF WATER ALONG LOW LYING...FLOOD
PRONE AREAS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY AS A PERSISTENT WET AND
UNSETTLED PATTERN AFFECTS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND. AT THIS TIME...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS LOW.
HOWEVER...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...WILL PRODUCE AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF
RAINFALL OVER SATURATED GROUNDS. THIS WILL INCREASE THE FLOOD
POTENTIAL THROUGH THE WEEK. FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN AND FLOOD
INFORMATION...REFER TO THE LATEST HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK ON OUR WEB PAGE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO
SUBMIT REPORTS OF HEAVY RAIN THROUGH THE WEB BY GOING TO
WEATHER.GOV/ATLANTA.
