Special Weather Statement, NWS Atlanta, GA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
344 PM EDT WED JUN 3 2015

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
SHORT TERM MODELS CONTINUE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE OVERALL
PATTERN. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW TRACKS OVER THE CAROLINAS BY EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING AND CONTINUES TO SHIFT AWAY FROM THE FORECAST
AREA. PROXIMITY OF A WEAK...NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY AND GOOD
MOISTURE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE
IMPETUS FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A FEW
OF THE STORMS HAVE ALREADY PRODUCED ONE INCH HAIL TODAY AND THE
THREAT FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH LATE
EVENING. AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY FROM THE AREA TOMORROW...THE
CHANCE OR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT. LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORM THAT
DEVELOPS. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO BE CLOSE AND WILL STAY
IN LINE.

ATWELL

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
PATTERN STILL SLOW TO EVOLVE OVER CONUS LATE THIS WEEK AND EARLY
NEXT. UPPER LOW WILL MOVE OFF LATE THURS WITH NW FLOW ALOFT IN ITS
WAKE. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...MED RANGE MODELS NOW INDICATING MORE
ZONAL FLOW LIKELY...WITH MORE PRONOUNCED FLOW TO THE NORTH OF THE
STATE.

AS MENTIONED YESTERDAY...NOT SEEING MANY FEATURES OR SIGNIFICANT
SHORT WAVES TO KEY IN ON. HOWEVER...GFS EVEN HINTING AT A COLD FRONT
TRYING TO ENTER NORTH GA BY WED BUT NO SUCH LOVE FROM THE 12Z EC OR
GEM. PW VALUES ALSO STILL PROGGED TO BE INCREASING TUE/WED/THUR WITH
VALUES OF 1.8 TO 1.9 ON 12Z GFS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS AS
FCST EVOLVES.

DUE TO DECENT MODEL AGREEMENT...DIURNAL NATURE OF CLOUDS AND
SHRA/TSRA AND LACK OF SIGNIFICANT SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES TO FOCUS
ON...BLEND OF PREV FCST WITH BIAS CORRECTED AND HIGHER PERFORMING
MODELS GENERALLY USED FOR ALL FIELDS.

SNELSON

PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
/ISSUED 347 AM EDT WED JUN 3 2015/ THE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES
SHIFTING EASTWARD EARLY IN THE LONG TERM PUTTING THE CWA IN A
NORTHWEST FLOW BY THE WEEKEND. BOTH MODELS SHOW WEAK SHORT WAVES
MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW BUT DIFFER ON TIMING. FOR THIS
REASON WILL GO WITH BROAD BRUSHING DIURNAL POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD
WITH HIGHER POPS NORTH DUE TO INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENTIAL HEATING IN
THE MOUNTAINS.

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE WILL KEEP THE RISK
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA
TODAY...MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. INSTABILITY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW A FEW STORMS TO
REACH SEVERE LIMITS. THE MAIN THREAT OF THE SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
1 INCH HAIL...WINDS GUSTING TO NEAR 60 MPH. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS
ALSO POSSIBLE WHICH COULD CAUSE BRIEF FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
SCATTERED...MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE EACH DAY. AN ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORM IS NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING DAMAGING WINDS.

.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.
