Area forecast discussion, Jul 20, 3:38 PM EDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
338 PM EDT MON JUL 20 2015

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
STILL LOOKING AT 2 DISTINCT AREAS OF CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON
WITH FIRST OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA WHERE INSTABILITY WAS ALREADY IN
PLACE EARLY THIS MORNING ALONG WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.
THIS AREA FIRED FIRST AND IS DRIFTING SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH NOW AND
SHOULD ACTUALLY SEE SOME IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR MCN AND CSG FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

TO THE NORTH HOWEVER...ACTIVITY JUST NOW STARTING TO GET GOING
WITH BUILDING CAPE VALUES TO 2500 TO ALMOST 3000 J/KG. UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE ALSO HELPING TO INITIATE ACTIVITY FOR NORTH GA AND
EXPECT MORE WIDESPREAD COVERAGE THROUGH THIS EVENING. DCAPE ACROSS
THE AREA REMAINS QUITE HIGH WITH ALMOST 1500 J/KG ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL GEORGIA WHERE MOST MID LEVEL DRY AIR RESIDES. EXPECT ANY
ELEVATED STRONG CORES TO PRODUCE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS
WITH ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

FOR TUESDAY...MAY SPEND MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS IN BETWEEN
SHORTWAVE SYSTEMS WHICH MAY LIMIT POPS A BIT. BEST CHANCES APPEAR
TO BE ALONG THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE FORECAST AREA ALTHOUGH COULD
NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM CLIMO FOR THE NORTH AS PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES REMAIN IN THE 1.60 INCH RANGE. GETTING ADDITIONAL HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR TUESDAY FOR CENTRAL GEORGIA ONCE AGAIN
ALTHOUGH IT IS A BIT MORE MARGINAL. WILL LET THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT
TAKE A LOOK TO BETTER DETERMINE AREAL EXTENT.

DEESE

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NO MAJOR CHANGES WHERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED PERIODS AS LONG TERM
MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A FAIRLY ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW SETTING UP
BY MID WEEK AND PERSISTING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AT THE SAME
TIME... MODELS ARE SHOWING A SURFACE TROUGH OR WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY MEANDERING ACROSS THE AREA. THIS SHOULD HELP PROVIDE A
FOCUS FOR SCATTERED... MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. THIS PATTERN MAY HELP LOWER DAYTIME HIGHS
AND ASSOCIATED HEAT INDEX VALUES A FEW DEGREES LATER IN THE WEEK.

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
/ISSUED AT 151 PM EDT MON JUL 20 2015/
LOOKS LIKE TWO DISTINCT AREAS TO BE CONCERNED WITH FOR TSRA THIS
AFTERNOON. THE FIRST WILL BE FROM CSG TO MCN AND IS ONGOING
REQUIRING A TEMPO TO INITIALIZE THE FORECAST. FURTHER NORTH...FOR
ATL AND SURROUNDING SITES...DRIER AIR FOR NOW WILL RESULT IN A
MUCH LATER START TO TSRA. STILL LOOKS TO BE ENOUGH COVERAGE TO
WARRANT TEMPO BUT WILL NOT START IT UNTIL 22Z.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
