.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 735 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2016/

UPDATE...
UPDATED TO ADD THE NEW TOR WATCH. STORMS HAVE BEEN CYCLING UP AND
DOWN ALL MORNING...AND HAVE NOT WEAKENED. MESOANALYSIS SHOWS THE
SFC-6KM SHEAR HAS INCREASED ACROSS PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL GA.
STORMS ARE WORKING ON ALL OF THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY IN PLACE.
THE COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY ACROSS FAR NW GA. IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE
LONGER FOR THE ATMOS TO RECOVER THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE
POTENTIAL STILL EXISTS FOR STRONG TO ISOLD SEVERE STORMS SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 20 THIS AFTERNOON.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 657 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2016/

UPDATE...
UPDATED FOR THE TOR WATCH EXTENSION.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 453 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2016/

UPDATE...
UPDATED TO EXTEND THE TORNADO WATCH. NO OTHER CHANGES.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 412 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2016/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ACTIVE DAY ON TAP FOR THE FORECAST AREA AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH.

REGIONAL RADAR SHOWS A WIDESPREAD AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
MOVING ACROSS THE CWFA THIS MORNING. THIS ACTIVITY DEVELOPED OUT
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND PUSHED EAST. THE COLD FRONT CURRENTLY
STRETCHES FROM CENTRAL TN BACK THROUGH CENTRAL AL TO THE GULF COAST.
A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE HAS STEEPENED LAPSE RATES THIS
MORNING...HELPING TO SUSTAIN CONVECTION BUT WILL PUSH OFF TO THE
EAST EARLY THIS MORNING. IN ADDITION...MESOANALYSIS SHOWS GOOD SHEAR
ALSO HELPING TO SUSTAIN THE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. THE HI-RES MODELS
DON'T HAVE A GREAT HANDLE ON WHAT IS CURRENTLY GOING ON...WITH THE
HRRR WITH THE BEST PRECIP PATTER BUT THE CONVECTION IS A LOT WEAKER
THAN WHAT IS ACTUALLY OCCURRING. THE WRF HAS A BETTER HANDLE ON WHAT
IS GOING ON TO THE SOUTH. DO THINK THE AREA OF STORMS ACROSS EASTERN
AL WILL HOLD TOGETHER AND CONTINUE EASTWARD INTO THE CWFA. DO THINK
THAT SEVERE STORMS WILL BE LIMITED IN COVERAGE...BUT STRONG STORMS
ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.

ALL OF THE MODELS ARE SHOWING A SLOW DOWN IN THE SOUTHWARD
PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT EARLY TODAY. IT WILL LIKELY BECOME
STATIONARY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ACROSS NORTHERN GA...SO DO
EXPECT SOMEWHAT OF A LULL IN THE STRONG/SEVERE ACTIVITY LATER THIS
MORNING AND POSSIBLY LASTING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS...A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE
AND UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK WILL MOVE OUT OF THE GOMEX AND NORTHEAST
INTO GA. THESE TWO FEATURES WILL HELP ENHANCE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT AGAIN. EXACTLY WHERE THE CONVECTION
FIRES LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE HEAVILY DEPENDENT UPON WHERE THE
FRONT SETS UP THIS MORNING. AREAS SOUTH OF THE FRONT WILL HAVE HAVE
THE BEST CHANCES OF DE-STABILIZING WITH MORE HEATING LIKELY. WITH
THIS IN MIND...THINK THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON.
CONVECTION WILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF LINGERING WELL INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...LARGE HAIL AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO.

THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PICK UP A LITTLE SPEED TONIGHT AND BEGIN TO
PUSH SOUTHWARD AGAIN AS THE 500MB TROUGH BEGINS TO SWING THROUGH.
THE TROUGH DOESN'T LOOK TO CLEAR THE CWFA UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY
SATURDAY. AGAIN...THE BEST CHANCES OF PRECIP WILL BE ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE FRONT EARLY SATURDAY WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE EXTREME SOUTHERN  PORTION OF THE CWFA. SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

NLISTEMAA

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY QUIET
UNTIL LATE NEXT WEEK.

A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE THROUGH DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY.
MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED WITH THIS FEATURE...AN NOT EXPECTING ANY
PRECIP ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AT THIS TIME.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY SET UP ACROSS THE AREA UNTIL LATE
WEDNESDAY/EARLY THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING THE NEXT BEST
CHANCES FOR PRECIP.

EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER WILL BE QUIET...FROST/FREEZE HEADLINES WILL
BE POSSIBLE NEXT WEEK. THE AREA THAT HAS THE MOST POTENTIAL TO SEE
ANY FROST/FREEZE HEADLINES WILL BE THE NORTHEAST MTNS OF GA. THE
MOST LIKELY TIME PERIODS WOULD BE SATURDAY NIGHT...TUESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY NIGHT...DUE TO DRIER AND COOLER AIR SETTLING OVER THE AREA
BEHIND COLD FRONTS.

NLISTEMAA

HYDROLOGY...
ON AVERAGE...ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL HAS FALLEN OVER PORTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THIS MORNING. THERE ARE TWO AXES OF
HEAVIER RAINFALL...ONE ACROSS NORTHERN GA AND THE SECOND ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL GA. THERE HASN'T BEEN AN AIRMASS CHANGE AND PWATS REMAIN
ANOMALOUSLY HIGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH VALUES 1.5 INCHES PLUS
THROUGH TONIGHT. SO...ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE THROUGH
THIS EVENING. WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FLOOD WATCH AT THIS
TIME...BUT MAY RE-CONSIDER LATER THIS MORNING.

NLISTEMAA

AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO SPREAD INTO NORTH
GA THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT ALL TAF SITES SHOULD BE AFFECTED BY
RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE EARLY EVENING. HAVE INCLUDED
THUNDER IN ALL TAFS UNTIL 23Z. SURFACE FRONT SHOULD COME THROUGH
AROUND 04Z. EXPECT MOSTLY MVFR CEILINGS THROUGH THE EVENING WITH
SOME LOCAL IFR IN RAIN. CEILINGS MOSTLY IFR AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH
GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT AFTER 14Z. WINDS WEST TO SOUTHWEST WITH
SOME GUSTS UNTIL GOING NORTHWEST AROUND 06Z.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
