Area forecast discussion, Apr 20, 3:17 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
317 PM EDT MON APR 20 2015

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...

STEEP LAPSE RATES...GOOD HEATING AND STRONG UPPER DYNAMICS HAVE
CONTRIBUTED TO SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHERN GA THIS
AFTERNOON. THE POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS. OVERALL...THE ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT SOUTH.

THE COLD FRONT CAUSING ALL THIS TROUBLE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE CWFA BY THE MID TO LATE EVENING. AFTER
THIS...HIGH PRESSURE AND A DRIER AIRMASS WILL SETTLE OVER THE
CWFA. THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST WILL BE DRY AND
SEASONABLE.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

NO CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST.

THERE CONTINUE TO BE NOTICEABLE INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN MODELS...AND
EVEN FROM RUN TO RUN WITHIN EACH MODEL...IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST
PERIOD...SO OVERALL A GENERAL BLEND AND CONCENTRATION ON THE LARGER
SCALE FEATURES WERE USED FOR THE LONG TERM FORECAST GRIDS AGAIN THIS
MORNING.

PERIOD STARTS OUT DRY...BUT MOISTURE RETURN BEGINS WEDNESDAY AS THE
SURFACE RIDGE SLIPS EAST OF THE STATE. WEAK SHORT WAVES IN THE
WESTERLY UPPER FLOW AND A WEAK COLD FRONT BRING AT LEAST A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION BACK INTO THE NORTH BY LATE WEDNESDAY. AMPLE
MOISTURE AND FLAT WESTERLY UPPER FLOW KEEP AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. BETTER
CHANCES FOR RAIN SWEEP BACK IN FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND AS A
STRONGER SHORT WAVE SWEEPS THROUGH THE REGION. BOTH THE GFS AND THE
ECMWF ARE GENERATING A DECENT SURFACE LOW WITH THIS SHORT WAVE...
HOWEVER THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING OF THIS LOW
TO KEEP LOW POPS IN THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. ENOUGH
INSTABILITY INDICATED WITH THE MID-WEEK SYSTEM FOR A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS...ALTHOUGH LACK OF STRONG DYNAMICS AND MARGINAL NATURE
OF THE INSTABILITY POINT TO MINIMAL CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER.
WEEKEND SYSTEM CONTINUES TO SHOW MARGINAL INSTABILITY AT BEST...BUT
STRONGER DYNAMICS INDICATE AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR DEEPER
CONVECTION WITH THIS SYSTEM AS WELL.

20

AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
LINE OF TSRA HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH. EXPECT
THIS ACTIVITY TO LINGER FOR THE NEXT 3-4 HOURS. NOT CONFIDENT HOW
FAR SOUTH THIS LINE WILL MAKE IT DUE TO THE THICKER CLOUD COVER TO
THE SOUTH. CLEARING SHOULD OCCUR AFTER THE FROPA LATER TONIGHT.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ALL ELEMENTS.
