.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 418 AM EDT SUN JUN 21 2015/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE REMNANTS OF BILL OFF THE EAST COAST THIS
MORNING...THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD BACK ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE
SHORT TERM. SOMEWHAT DRIER WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL OVER
THE AREA. SHOULD BE NO REAL FOCUS FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT EXCEPT MAYBE
WHAT IS LEFT OF THE OLD BOUNDARY NOW ACROSS CENTRAL GA...AND
POSSIBLY SOME TERRAIN EFFECTS IN THE NORTHEAST. HAVE MADE NO REAL
CHANGES TO THE POPS AND HAVE CONTINUED WITH SLIGHT CHANCE FAR NORTH
AND PORTIONS OF CENTRAL FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND AGAIN
MONDAY.

LOOKING FOR MAX TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S
INTO THE FIRST OF THE WEEK. HIGHEST HEAT INDEX VALUES THIS AFTERNOON
WILL BE OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GA...BUT THE VALUES REMAIN JUST
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. MONDAY MAY HAVE SOME ISOLATED AREAS THAT
MEET ADVISORY CRITERIA BUT NEXT SHIFTS CAN MONITOR THIS.

41

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MAIN FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE THE NEXT ROUND OF OPPRESSIVE HEAT
PROGGED TO RETURN TO THE AREA WITH A BROAD UPPER RIDGE FROM THE
WEST AND INCREASING THICKNESSES THRU MIDWEEK. STAYED A BIT HIGHER
THAN THE LATEST BLEND OF GUIDANCE...WHICH WAS ODDLY COOLER THAN
PREVIOUS RUNS. TUE/WED PERIOD STILL LOOKS TO BE THE HOTTEST WITH
SOME PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GA FCST TO REACH RESULTANT HEAT INDICES
AT OR EXCEEDING ADVISORY LEVELS OF 105 DEG. ALSO KEEPING SLIGHT TO
LOW END CHANCE POPS FOR ANY DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND STORMS IN
THE FAR NORTHEAST AND SOUTHERN TIER ON TUESDAY...SLIGHTLY GREATER
FOR WEDNESDAY...THEN HIGHER END CHANCE POPS FOR THE REST OF THE
PERIOD AS RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN AND INSTABILITY IS MORE
EASILY ATTAINED WITH DAYTIME HEATING. LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS BACK
OFF ON THE UPPER TROUGH SETTING UP ACROSS THE AREA BY NEXT
WEEKEND...THOUGH HAVE NW FLOW FLIRTING WITH NORTH GA TO SOME
DEGREE BY LATE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. ANY IMPULSES TRAVERSING THE
WAVE ENERGY MAY FOCUS GREATER CHANCES FOR STORMS BUT TRICKY TO
FCST ATTM THIS FAR OUT.
