.UPDATE...
UPDATE TO REMOVE COUNTIES FROM TOR WATCH 24.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 341 AM EST WED FEB 24 2016/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
..SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS CONTINUE OVER PARTS OF CENTRAL
GEORGIA EARLY THIS MORNING...

..FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NORTH AND PARTS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA
CONTINUES THROUGH 6 PM THIS EVENING...

..WIND ADVISORY FOR MOST OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA CONTINUES
THROUGH THIS EVENING...

A SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM HAS PUSHED INTO WEST
TN EARLY THIS MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT UP TO THE NORTHEAST
TODAY. A WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED INTO CENTRAL GA... WHILE THE
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WAS BACK TO THE WEST AND PUSHING ALONG THE MS
AND AL STATE LINE EARLY THIS MORNING.

ALTHOUGH THUNDERSTORMS CAN OCCUR JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE THIS MORNING...
IT APPEARS THE GREATEST STRONG TO SEVERE STORM THREAT WILL REMAIN
FOCUSED ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA DEEP IN THE WARM SECTOR...
MAINLY SOUTH OF A HAMILTON TO MACON TO LOUISVILLE LINE WHERE AMPLE
DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND 200-500 J/KG OF CAPE STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO PRODUCE A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THROUGH AT LEAST MID
MORNING BEFORE THE COLD FRONT ARRIVES. SPC HAS POSTED A TORNADO
WATCH FOR THIS AREA THROUGH 6 AM THIS MORNING... AND WILL LIKELY
PLAY IT SAFE AND HOLD ONTO MUCH OF THIS WATCH AREA THROUGH 6 AM
CONSIDERING THE FRONT AND STRONG DYNAMIC UPPER LOW WILL REMAIN WEST
OF THE AREA THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME. NOT EXPECTING ANY WIDESPREAD
SEVERE STORMS... JUST CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM IN
THE WARM SECTOR FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE MAIN SEVERE STORM THREAT
CONTINUES TO BE DAMAGING WIND... BUT CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED
TORNADO AS WELL.

IN ADDITION TO THE ISOLATED SEVERE STORM THREAT... THE ADDITIONAL 1
TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL THAT HAS FALLEN OVERNIGHT HAS ALREADY
RESULTED IN AT LEAST 9 FLOOD WARNINGS ACROSS THE AREA... AND EXPECT
THIS NUMBER TO INCREASE THROUGH THE MORNING AS ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS UP TO ANOTHER INCH IS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE HEAVIER RAINS PUSH
EAST BY THIS AFTERNOON... ALTHOUGH SPOTTY SHOWERS WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE IN THE AFTERNOON AS WELL. PLAN TO HOLD ONTO THE FLOOD WATCH
THROUGH THROUGH 6 PM THIS EVENING... WITH THE GREATEST FLOOD THREAT
CONTINUING TO BE MAINLY ALONG FLOOD PRONE CREEKS AND RIVERS.

THE STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEEP SURFACE LOW
TRACKING TO THE NORTH OF THE STATE WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE STRONG
GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THIS EVENING. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THROUGH 1 AM TONIGHT. THESE
STRONG WINDS COMBINED WITH SUCH SATURATED GROUNDS COULD EASILY DOWN
TREES ACROSS THE AREA.

OTHERWISE... EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE
STORM SYSTEM LIFTS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST AND DRAGS THE COLD FRONT
EAST OF THE STATE BY MID TO LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE BEHIND THIS DEPARTING SYSTEM WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SNOW SHOWERS TO PARTS OF FAR NORTH GA TONIGHT AND THROUGH MUCH OF
THURSDAY... BUT EXPECTING ONLY LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF GENERALLY AN
INCH OF LESS... AND MAINLY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF NORTHEAST GA.

39

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
EXTENDED FORECAST INITIALLY INCLUDES POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS AS LOW PRESSURE LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST AND WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE REMAINS ACROSS FAR NORTH GEORGIA...BUT ENDS QUICKLY. AS
MENTIONED ABOVE...ONLY LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS /AN INCH OR LESS/ ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

AN OVERALL QUIET PERIOD IS EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND
WITH A WARMING TREND IN TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S
AND 50S THURSDAY TO THE 60S BY SUNDAY. THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM
APPROACHES THE AREA EARLY MONDAY...WITH THE GFS AND ECMWF STILL
DIFFERING BY 6-12HOURS AT ONSET OF THE FRONT INTO NORTHWEST
GEORGIA. HAVE CONTINUED SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE
AREA MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.

31

HYDROLOGY...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.
RIVERS AND CREEKS ARE ALREADY RESPONDING TO AREA RAINFALL AND
RIVER FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON
EXPECTED ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AND FLOODING POTENTIAL...SEE THE
SHORT TERM DISCUSSION ABOVE AND THE LATEST FLASH FLOOD WATCH
/FFAFFC/.

AVIATION...
06Z UPDATE...
EASTERLY CONTINUE TO HOLD THE WEDGE IN FIRMLY ACROSS THE KATL METRO
TAF SITES... BUT THIS IS EXPECTED TO GIVE WAY AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS
NORTHWARD AND VEERS WINDS MORE SOUTHERLY BY 09-10Z THIS MORNING.
WINDS WILL VEER SSW BY 15Z WED... THEN MORE WESTERLY BY THE
AFTERNOON. EXPECT STRONG WIND GUSTS THROUGH THE EVENING. EXPECT LIFR
TO IFR CIGS TO PREVAIL THIS MORNING... THEN LIFT TO MVFR LEVELS BY
LATE MORNING WHERE THEY WILL PROBABLY PREVAIL THRU MUCH OF THE
AFTERNOON... THEN AGAIN TONIGHT. APPEARS THE GREATEST TSRA THREAT
FOR THE TAF SITES WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 06-10Z THIS MORNING... THEN
