Area forecast discussion, Nov 2, 4:00 PM EST, 31 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 400 PM EST MON NOV 2 2015 .UPDATE... THE STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE STATE AND WAS ABLE TO REMOVE A FEW COUNTIES IN OUR SOUTHEASTERN CWA OUT OF THE WATCH. THERE ARE STILL MULTIPLE COUNTIES REMAINING IN THE WATCH WHICH CONTINUES TO 00Z. CONDITIONS ARE STILL FAVORABLE FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO TO DEVELOP IN THAT AREA. AS THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST WE WILL BE ABLE TO REMOVE MORE COUNTIES OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 239 PM EST MON NOV 2 2015/ SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... WEAK LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO LIFT SLOWLY NORTHEAST WITH A BROAD CENTER NOTED FROM THE WESTERN MOST PANHANDLE OF FLORIDA THROUGH MONTGOMERY AND INTO PORTIONS OF NW AND WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA. THIS CONTINUES TO LEAD TO TWO DISTINCTLY OPPOSED AIRMASS MAKEUPS WITH RELATIVELY COOL CONDITIONS TO THE NORTH AND INCREASINGLY WARM AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS TO THE SOUTH. IN FACT...OVER SE PORTIONS OF THE AREA...SEEING SOME LOWER AND EVEN MID 80S DEVELOP WITH VERY MOIST CONDITIONS EVIDENT BY DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S. THIS HAS ALLOWED FOR CAPE VALUES TO INCREASE TO NEAR 2000 J/KG ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS ACTIVITY WHILE LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES REMAIN MORE THAN ADEQUATE TO PRODUCE ISOLATED TORNADOES. TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THIS AREA THROUGH 7 PM TONIGHT. LATEST SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IS SHOWING ENHANCED CAPE FIELDS HOLDING ON A LITTLE LONGER THAN FIRST THOUGH THIS EVENING WITH 1000 J/KG MAINTAINING OVER EXTREME SE SECTIONS THROUGH 03Z. FOR THIS REASON WILL NEED TO MONITOR EVOLUTION OF SEVERE THREAT FOR THESE SE COUNTIES BASED ON THIS NEW TIMING. COULD VERY WELL WORK OUT THOUGH AS MAIN BAND MAY STABILIZE THOSE REMAINING COUNTIES JUST AS THE WATCH IS EXPIRING. REGARDLESS...POPS WILL BE HIGH FOR THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE FORECAST AREA AND WILL MAINTAIN CATEGORICAL POPS THROUGH 00Z AND LIKELY POPS THROUGH 06Z. THEREAFTER WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOG AND DRIZZLE POTENTIAL AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS QUITE PLENTIFUL OVER THE AREA. EXPECT AREAS OF FOG TO DEVELOP BUT MORE UNCERTAINTY ON DENSE FOG POTENTIAL. WITH THE AMOUNT OF RAIN OVER THE AREA THE LAST 72 HOURS...NOT HARD TO SEE A SCENARIO FOR WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE DENSE FOG ADVISORY. OTHERWISE...UPPER TROUGH NEVER COMPLETELY MOVES THROUGH THE AREA SO WE WILL BE LEFT WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LOW END RAIN CHANCES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. DEESE LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... LINGERING LOW LEVEL GULF/ATLANTIC MOISTURE ADVECTION INTO MIDWEEK SHOULD ALLOW FOR SLIGHT TO LOW END CHANCE OF MAINLY LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA DRIVEN BY ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AGAINST A HYBRID CAD WEDGE. WEAKENING WEDGE BY THURSDAY SO HAVE MOSTLY DRY. NEXT MAIN SYSTEM IS COMING INTO SOME BETTER CONSENSUS AMONG MODEL SOLUTIONS WITH A LESS PROGRESSIVE FRONTAL SYSTEM FROM THE NW. STILL GETTING PRETTY ELONGATED IN THE MOISTURE FIELD AND REMOVED FROM GOOD DYNAMICS. THE FRONT SHOULD SLOWLY DRAG SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA LATE FRIDAY INTO POSSIBLY SUNDAY SO HAVE TRENDED MAINLY HIGHER CHANCE POPS ACCORDINGLY AND LINGER POPS AT END OF PERIOD BASED ON PREVIOUS INCONSISTENCIES IN TIMING. PROGGED INSTABILITY IS RATHER MODEST BUT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE SLIGHT CHANCE THUNDER. TEMPS THROUGH FRIDAY SHOULD BE ABOVE NORMS WITH MANY AREAS HAVING HIGHS OF LOW TO MID 70S THEN COOLING BACK DOWN BY SATURDAY NIGHT BEHIND AFOREMENTIONED FRONT. BAKER HYDROLOGY...AREAS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GA HAVE ALREADY HAD RECENT RAINFALL OF 3 TO 6 INCHES...AND PORTIONS OF THE SE MAY SEE AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INTO THIS EVENING AS ABNORMALLY EFFICIENT GULF MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTHEASTWARD. TRAINING CELLS MORE CONVECTIVE IN NATURE MAY END UP DROPPING LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL LATER TODAY WITH AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND INTERACTIONS ALONG A LIFTING WARM/WEDGE FRONT. AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR THAT WAS GENERATED LARGELY BY THE FACT THAT SHRA ACTIVITY WAS ABLE TO DISPERSE THE CIGS HAS SINCE ABATED. WHAT WE ARE LEFT WITH IS PRETTY MUCH ALL IFR OVER THE NORTHERN MOST TAF SITES WITH PERIODS OF -DZ AS WELL. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE FOR THE ENTIRE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH SOME LIFR AND EVEN VLIFR POSSIBLE BY TUE MORNING. EXCEPTION WILL BE OVER MCN WHERE TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE AND WILL INCLUDE A TEMPO THERE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. EVENTUALLY THOUGH...LIFR WILL TAKE HOLD THERE AS WELL WITH NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY TUE. //ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE... MEDIUM ON TSRA POTENTIAL AND TIMING OF LIFR.
