SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO DELAY MIDDAY POP TRENDS PER RECENT HIGH RES GUIDANCE AS IT STILL LOOKS LIKE GENERALLY COLUMBUS TO MACON AND SOUTHWARD WILL SEE GOOD CHANCE OF CONVECTION. ANYWHERE IN CENTRAL GA COULD SEE SOME DEVELOPMENT WITH THE MAIN INSTABILITY AXIS DRAPED ACROSS. OTHERWISE MINOR CHANGES TO DAYTIME TRENDS MAINLY WITH A BIT LOWER DEWPOINTS MIXING DOWN IN THE NORTH ACROSS THE POST FRONTAL REGIME. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... BAKER && PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 725 AM EDT FRI JUL 31 2015/ PREV DISCUSSION... .SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... /ISSUED 341 AM EDT FRI JUL 31 2015/ A COLD FRONT IS STALLED ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS MORNING AND ALTHOUGH THE FRONT WILL WEAKEN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AND WASH OUT...THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA. OBSERVATIONS ALREADY SHOW THE DEW POINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH GEORGIA AND WHILE SOME OF THIS DRIER AIR WILL FILTER FURTHER SOUTH...IT WONT QUITE MAKE IT INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA TODAY. GIVEN CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL BE SOUTH OF THE STALLED FRONT...WITH BETTER DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND DEW POINTS IN THE 70S THIS AFTERNOON...CONVECTION SHOULD BE CONFINED TO CENTRAL GEORGIA. MUCAPE VALUES THIS AFTERNOON CLIMB AROUND 2000 J/KG SO COULD SEE A FEW STRONG STORMS. SPC HAS THE CWA IN GENERAL THUNDER. THE BOUNDARY SHIFTS EVER SO SLIGHTLY SOUTHWARD ON SATURDAY AND THE DRIER AIR MOVES FURTHER INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA. THE BETTER POPS ARE CONFINED TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA SATURDAY AFTERNOON. EVEN WITH THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH NORTH GEORGIA...TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN JUST ABOVE NORMAL. WITH THESE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER DEW POINTS IN CENTRAL GEORGIA...A SMALL AREA ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE CWA HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REACH HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA /105 DEGREE HEAT INDICES/ FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. AT THIS POINT...THE AREA OF 105 VALUES IS SPOTTY AND ANY CONVECTION IN THE AREA WILL HELP TO KEEP TEMPS BELOW THE FORECAST SO WILL NOT ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY AT THIS TIME. 11 && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... /ISSUED 341 AM EDT FRI JUL 31 2015/ MODELS ARE SHOWING GOOD AGREEMENT ON A WEAK COLD FRONT STALLED ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA SATURDAY NIGHT... SAGGING FURTHER SOUTH AND INTO SOUTH GEORGIA ON SUNDAY...THEN INTO NORTH FLORIDA ON MONDAY. THIS SHOULD LESSON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK AS A DRIER AIR MASS SETTLES OVER THE REGION. THE COMBINATION OF A MOIST SOUTHERLY SURFACE TO MID LEVEL FLOW AND SUBTLE UPPER DISTURBANCES FROM THE WEST WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BACK TO THE FORECAST AREA FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. MODEST INSTABILITY AND WEAK DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR CONTINUES TO SUGGEST ANY AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS. BEHIND THE FRONT... A DRIER AIR MASS WILL HELP HOLD HEAT INDICES BELOW THE 100 DEGREE MARK FOR MOST AREAS FOR SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THEN AS GULF MOISTURE BEGINS TO CREEP NORTHWARD... NEAR CRITICALLY HIGH HEAT INDICES ARE LIKELY TO RETURN TO MUCH OF THE AREA BY MID WEEK. 39 && .AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH PERIOD ACROSS AREA WITH AFTERNOON/EVENING SHRA/TSRA POTENTIAL GREATEST FOR SOUTHERN SITES ALONG WITH POSSIBLE REDUCED VSBYS.
