.UPDATE...
Updated to remove numerous counties from the watch...mainly
counties along and north of a Carroll... Coweta... Pike...

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 431 PM EDT FRI JUN 17 2016/

UPDATE...
Updated to remove numerous counties from the watch...mainly
counties along and north of a Polk... Paulding... Douglas...
Fulton... Clayton... Henry... Newton... Morgan... Green and
Taliaferro line. Strong to severe storms continue to develop
ahead of a front and this threat is expected to continue across
Central GA into at last early to mid evening. The main threats
are damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph... large hail and frequent
lightning.  /39

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 356 PM EDT FRI JUN 17 2016/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...
Frontal boundary drifting through north GA this afternoon as the
upper short wave circulates over the Carolinas. Convection
continues to develop along the boundary with the air mass very
unstable due to high dew points and hot temperatures...yielding
capes of around 3000. Expect this boundary to continue to drift
into central GA during the night with severe possible for the next
several hours. Models consistent in building in high pressure from
the east late tonight into Saturday with fairly strong easterly
low level flow. This should stabilize the air mass over much of
the area. Will continue to have slight chances for areas south of
Columbus to Macon until Saturday afternoon in case the boundary
stalls in that area. Dry across the entire area Saturday night.

41

LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/...
Only a few tweaks were made to the long term. No big changes
overall. Previous discussion included below.

20

Previous...Issued 347 AM EDT FRI JUN 17 2016
LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/... The last of the
precis chances will be exiting or have exited the area to start
the long term as high pressure builds over the area. The forecast
will remain dry into Tuesday as a high pressure pattern dominates
most of this .

A surface trough ahead of an approaching cold front will affect
mainly N GA Tuesday night with the chance for showers and
thunderstorms and the chance for showers and storms will affect
N and central GA Wednesday into Thursday as an upper trough
moves across the area with the front moving into the area.

Temperatures will start out below normal but return to near or
slightly above normal Monday afternoon and beyond.

BDL

AVIATION...
18Z Update...
Convection should continue to develop on a southward sinking
boundary this afternoon and evening...affecting most of the taf
sites. Some storms expected to be severe.

Winds should remain on the west side through today and frequent
gusts to around 20kt are likely. Models are progging a wind shift
to the east overnight behind the front, increasing the potential
for a bkn deck of stratus overnight.

//ATL Confidence...12Z Update...
Medium confidence all elements.
