Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 3:52 AM EDT, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 352 AM EDT Fri Jun 23 2017 .SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/... Airmass remains very tropical in nature across the CWFA. Convergence zone has set up across the far NW CWFA this morning, and light to occasionally rainfall will continue to fall this morning. So, far rainfall amounts have been fairly light, but continued rainfall will serve to help saturate the ground. The remnants of Cindy will push eastward, and interact with shear axis/weak convergence boundary through Saturday. This shear axis/weak convergence zone will slowly sag south across the CWFA through Saturday, serving to focus areas of precipitation. Speaking of saturated ground, heavy rainfall has fallen across the metro area and Interstate 20 corridor over the last week. As the remnants of Cindy move east and interact with the weak boundary/shear axis, today through early Saturday, additional locally heavy rainfall is likely. Training storms would be the most likely culprit, but a few strong thunderstorms could also develop and produce locally heavy rainfall. Will be issuing a Flash Flood Watch for roughly the Interstate 20 corridor and northward through Saturday. Even though the far NE mountains haven't received as much rainfall over the last week as some areas, do think some localized flooding is possible...and the complex terrain does increase the potential. As with any tropical system, the potential for severe weather will exist. Especially for isolated tornadoes within any rainbands. Areas roughly along and west of the Interstate 85 corridor will have the best potential for any severe weather through tonight. However, if good heating occurs across the southern CWFA today, an isolated severe thunderstorm isn't out of the question either. In addition, the coverage of storms should be less down south - with the only focusing mechanisms for precip would be mesoscale boundaries or differential heating boundaries. The axis of heavier rainfall begins to shift southward on Saturday. Areas mainly south of Interstate 20 haven't seen as much rainfall in previous days, so additional watches are not likely at this time. NListemaa .LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/... A welcome change is headed our way in the long term as drier air moves into the region. The remnants of TS Cindy will continue to kick out to the north and east with some residual moisture hanging along a cold front that will push south Saturday night into Sunday. Anticipate shower/thunderstorm activity to dwindle through the overnight into early Sunday given loss of day time heating and upper level support. The front will eventually sag south of the area with much of the precipitation activity confined to the far southern portion of the CWA. Thus anticipate diurnally driven thunderstorms Sunday afternoon across this region. The front will eventually wash out with strong high pressure building into the area for the beginning of next week. The surface high will eventually shift across the mid-atlantic and then out to sea by Thursday. Return flow will usher in a bit more moisture into the region with temperatures slowly on the increase. This will mean higher diurnal thunderstorms coverage, especially by next Friday. Given cooler high pressure and a much drier airmass moving in, temperatures will be below normal...feeling quite pleasant. 26 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 320 PM EDT Thu Jun 22 2017/ LONG TERM /Saturday through Thursday/... The remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy will finally be out of our hair at the beginning of the long term forecast period on saturday morning. However there will be a cold frontal boundary moving south across the area. Rain and thunderstorms will be ongoing along the front...enhanced by diurnal heating in the afternoon. There looks to be enough deep layer shear /0-6km of 20-30kts/ as a broad trough deepens across the eastern 2/3rds of the US to work in conjunction with instability invof the front. This should allow for some organization of thunderstorm clusters along the front. The main threat will be damaging wind gusts. SPC has a large majority of central and eastern Georgia in a marginal risk. The front will make slow progress into central Georgia Saturday evening into the overnight hours but the loss of daytime heating and rather poor forcing should allow most activity to gradually dissipate. Front looks to linger across far southern zones on Sunday where again diurnal heating should allow for a gradual increase in thunderstorm activity through the afternoon. Shear appears to be displaced too far north to pose a notable severe threat by this time. Can't rule out isolated stronger storms...but think Saturday has better parameters than Sunday. Front should clear the CWA by Monday. A rather unseasonably strong area of sfc high pressure will gradually build into the region from the north in the wake of the front...which will make for a dry day. A strong shortwave rotating around the broad scale trough over the eastern US will likely bring some clouds to area on Tuesday...but thinking large dome of sfc high pressure will keep things dry. Height rises in the mid level behind this shortwave combined with sfc high pressure should make for a very pleasant Wednesday. Will see moisture gradually return outside of the extended as the sfc high begins to scoot off the Atlantic Coast. Kovacik && AVIATION... 06Z Update... Atmos remains very moist and a bkn MVFR deck is likely overnight. Some patchy MVFR fog is also possible. Sct-bkn VFR cigs expected during the day. Not as much precip coverage expected today, but the high res models are progging a line of shra/tsra during the late afternoon/early evening impacting ATL and becoming nearly stationary for the overnight period. Winds should also go over to the SW side in the next few hours, though speeds will be very light. //ATL Confidence...06Z Update... Med confidence cigs.

While the excessive rainfall threat has lessened for today and tonight, showers are expected to be off and on for the northwest majority of the area and there still could be isolated flash flooding if stronger and more persistent showers/storms train over some locations with heavier rainfall. There is a risk of isolated severe thunderstorms through this evening, particularly across western and northern Georgia where breaks in the rain and clouds have combined to increase instability. Damaging wind and brief tornadoes will be possible with any severe activity. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday... There is a marginal to slight chance of severe thunderstorms across north Georgia late in the day Friday through Friday night as the remains of Tropical Storm Cindy Pass through the region. The primary hazards will be damaging winds, frequent lightning, and heavy rain. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out Friday afternoon and Friday night this system passes. Scattered thunderstorms will be possible across north and central Georgia Saturday and across mainly central Georgia Sunday through Tuesday. The primary hazards will be frequent lightning and gusty winds. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested but spotters are encouraged to submit reports of severe weather through the web by going to weather.gov/atlanta.
