Area forecast discussion, Feb 23, 10:42 AM EST, 1 hour 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 1042 AM EST TUE FEB 23 2016 .UPDATE... THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM SO FAR TODAY AS UPPER LEVEL DRY AIR MOVING IN HAS HELP CURB THE RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA. STILL ON TRACK FOR LIKELY SEVERE STORMS FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR THE AREA. SOME OF THE NEW MODEL GUIDANCE NOW HAS 110 KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND THIS EXTENDS THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. IN FACT..GIVEN THE SHEAR PARAMETERS AND EXPECTED INSTABILITY...NOT SURE THERE WILL BE ANY ONE PLACE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO SEVERE STORMS THAN ANOTHER WITH THIS SYSTEM. ALL AREAS LOOK TO HAVE EQUAL CHANCES AND THOSE CHANCES ARE RELATIVELY HIGH FOR A WINTER TIME SYSTEM. STILL EXPECT MODE TO BE PREDOMINANTLY QLCS BUT COULD SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE LINE ALLOWING FOR MORE OF A SUPERCELL TYPE STRUCTURE FROM TIME TO TIME. OTHER ISSUES TO BE DEALT WITH THIS AFTERNOON ARE THE NEED FOR A WIND ADVISORY THIS EVENING THROUGH WED WHICH WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AND THEN PROSPECTS FOR A WINTER WX ADVISORY LATE WED. THAT ONE IS A LITTLE MORE UNCERTAIN AND WE MAY WAIT UNTIL THE MID SHIFT FOR ISSUANCE ON THAT PRODUCT. && DEESE && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED / SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... /ISSUED AT 346 AM EST TUE FEB 23 2016/ MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TONIGHT AND EARLY ON WEDNESDAY... ALONG WITH POSSIBLE FLOODING FROM LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. ALTHOUGH A LULL IN THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MAY OCCUR TODAY AS OUR NEXT STORM SYSTEM DEEPENS OVER TEXAS... DON'T LET THIS LOWER YOUR GUARD AS COMPUTER MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS STRONG STORM SYSTEM LIFTING EASTWARD THIS EVENING AND TRACKING ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL DRAG A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA EARLY ON WEDNESDAY WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG AND WELL OUT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS UNFOLDING AS STRONG 40-50KT 0-1KM BULK SHEAR AND 400-600 J/KG MUCAPE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELL STORMS... WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES BEING THE MAIN THREATS... ALTHOUGH SMALL HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THE INITIAL THREAT WILL COME FROM DISCRETE SUPERCELLS THAT DEVELOP AHEAD OF A SQUALL LINE... AND PUSH INTO NW AND WEST CENTRAL GA SOMETIME BETWEEN LATE THIS EVENING OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EASTWARD OVERNIGHT AND WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A DISTINCT SQUALL LINE THAT APPEARS TO PUSH ACROSS THE AREA SOMETIME BETWEEN 3 AM AND 11 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS QLCS TYPE SQUALL LINE WILL LIKELY BE THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER PRODUCER... BRINGING A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR MORE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS... ALONG WITH A FEW EMBEDDED TORNADOES. IN ADDITION TO SEVERE STORMS... ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING AND MINOR STREAM FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE... ESPECIALLY IF TRAINING OF STORMS OCCUR OVER LOW LYING... FLASH FLOOD PRONE AREAS. THE EXPECTED ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES OVER ALREADY SATURATED GROUND WILL ALSO QUICKLY RUN OFF INTO AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS... AND COULD RESULT IN BRIEF MINOR FLOODING ALONG SOME OF THE FLOOD PRONE CREEKS AND RIVERS. THE FLOODING CONCERN HAS PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NORTH AND PARTS OF CENTRAL GA FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY. SEE THE LATEST FLASH FLOOD WATCH STATEMENT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS POTENTIAL THREAT. OTHERWISE... EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE STORM SYSTEM LIFTS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST AND DRAGS THE COLD FRONT EAST OF THE STATE. 39 LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... /ISSUED AT 346 AM EST TUE FEB 23 2016/ WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW AS IT LIFTS OUT OF THE REGION WILL COMBINE WITH A COOLER AIR MASS BEHIND THE FRONT TO KEEP THE POTENTIAL OF WINTRY PRECIP OVER FAR NORTH GEORGIA...PARTICULARLY THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. HAVE CONTINUED MENTION OF SNOW OR A SNOW/RAIN MIX IN FAR NORTHEASTERN GEORGIA WITH LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS /IF ANY/. FOR NOW...HAVE GONE AHEAD AND INCLUDED ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO 0.4 INCHES /A DUSTING/...BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED AS THURSDAY MORNING APPROACHES. AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST...RAIN/MIX CHANCES DIMINISH ALTOGETHER THURSDAY NIGHT...AND THE MAJORITY OF THE REMAINING EXTENDED FORECAST REMAINS UNEVENTFUL. COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S AND 50S...WITH A GRADUAL WARM UP INTO THE 60S BY SUNDAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA LATE SUNDAY...AND HAVE CONTINUED GOOD CHANCE POPS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY. THE GFS PUSHES THE FRONT INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA BY MONDAY MORNING...WITH THE ECMWF SOLUTION LAGGING 6-12 HOURS BEHIND. 31 HYDROLOGY... /ISSUED AT 346 AM EST TUE FEB 23 2016/ A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR NORTH AND WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 6PM TONIGHT THROUGH 6PM WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1-3 INCHES WILL COMBINE WITH THE ALREADY 1-2 INCHES THAT HAVE FALLEN IN THE LAST 24 HOURS TO KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD RISK HIGH THROUGH WEDNESDAY. PLEASE SEE THE LATEST FLASH FLOOD WATCH /FFAFFC/ FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS. AVIATION... 12Z UPDATE... CIGS BOUNCE BETWEEN IFR AND MVFR LEVELS THIS MORNING AS PERIODS OF SHOWERS MOVE ACROSS THROUGH LATE MORNING. EXPECT MVFR CIGS TO PREVAIL TODAY... THEN LOWER TO IFR LEVELS BY 04-06Z WED AS MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS PREVAIL OVERNIGHT. ISOLATED THUNDER REMAINS POSSIBLE ABOUT ANYTIME... BUT THINKING THE MORE FAVORABLE TIME WILL BE FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING... THEN OVERNIGHT AS A SQUALL LINE MOVES ACROSS ATL BETWEEN 08-12Z WED. THE STORMS SHOULD PUSH EAST OF ATL BY 13-15Z WED. SE WINDS AROUND 8KTS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE EVENING... THEN INCREASE TO AROUND 12-14KTS AFTER 06Z TONIGHT. WINDS VEER SW BY 12Z WED WITH HIGHER GUSTS ON WED. MVFR CIGS PREVAIL THRU 18Z WED... THEN MAY IMPROVE TO VFR LEVELS. //ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE... MEDIUM ON TIMING OF CEILINGS AND THUNDER.
