AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 333 PM EDT SUN AUG 30 2015 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... CURRENT RADAR LOOP SHOWS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ROTATING AROUND MAIN LOW PRESSURE CENTER ALONG THE AL/GA BORDER. THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING NORTH TO NORTHEAST AND WILL WEAKEN AS IT DOES. THE MODELS ALSO SHOW THE MAIN AREA OF MOISTURE OVER N GA AND THE CAROLINAS MOVING NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL HELP TO END THE PRECIPITATION OVER THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT. THERE MAY BE A FEW LEFT OVER SHOWERS ACROSS NORTH GA BUT THATS IT. THE MODELS ARE SHOWING THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF BUILDING SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD MONDAY AND THE MOISTURE REMAINS OF ERIKA REMAINING SOUTH AND EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. THERE WILL STILL BE SOME MOISTURE OVER THE AREA MONDAY BUT IT WILL BE A LOT LESS THAN TODAY. GOING WITH LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GA MONDAY. INSTABILITIES EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY WEAK FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR SO ONLY GOING WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER MONDAY AS WELL.

MODELS HAVE CONTINUED THE TREND OF SHIFTING THE DEEPEST TROPICAL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH ERIKAS REMNANTS EASTWARD. SO...THE HIGHEST QPF SHOULD REMAIN ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN ZONES. AS FAR AS THE UPPER LOW GOES...THE FEATURE COULD HELP KEEP CONVECTIVE PRECIP MORE SCT/ISOLD IN THE WEST. EITHER FEATURE WILL HAVE ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. ANOTHER BY-PRODUCT OF THE UPPER LOW WILL BE THAT TEMPS WILL STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 80S FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD. NLISTEMAA && .AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE...
