Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
342 PM EDT Fri Sep 22 2017

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...

Widely scattered thunderstorms have quickly developed across east-
central Georgia, especially between Augusta and Macon, where nickel-
sized hail was reported earlier this aftn around Augusta. Overall
severe threat is low but "downdraft" CAPE in the 800-1100 J/KG range
certainly high enough to support very localized microbursts in
strongest cells. Downed trees and powerlines occurred in southern
Pulaski county yesterday with similar environment.

Focus for convection, aside from high CAPE environment, is a weak
upper level circulation /depicted by latest WV satl imagery/ getting
better organized across south Georgia. This feature will continue to
drag moisture and weak upr lvl "impulses" from NE to SW across the
area through tomorrow (Saturday). Hit or miss mainly afternoon &
evening storms can be expected into the weekend but most areas will
remain dry.

Little change in temperatures expected in the short term, with above
normal conditions continuing into the weekend.

DJN.83

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/...

Slight differences in late week frontal timing and expanse of
attendant moisture field. Not impressive at the moment and meager
instability but if anything slightly adjusted back a few pops.
Forecast largely on track with little change otherwise. Previous
discussion follows...

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 335 AM EDT Fri Sep 22 2017/

LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/...

Extended forecast period continues to appear mainly dry and warm as
the region remains under a large but not particularly strong upper-
level ridge through the majority of the period. Despite a persistent
weakness in the upper ridge over the region, a generally stable
airmass should keep any diurnal convective development in check.
Chances for precipitation start creeping back into the forecast by
the end of next week as the upper ridge breaks down and a fairly
sharp upper trough and associated surface low/cold front approach the
forecast area.

.AVIATION...
18Z Update...
Cu field developing in earnest now, specifically between KATL and
KCSG. Similar to yesterday, sufficient instability combined with
upr level impulses traversing ENE flow aloft will be enough to
support widely sct convection in the next couple hours through at
least 02-04z. VFR conditions should prevail outside of any
SHRA/TSRA. Patchy ground fog overnight could briefly reduce vsbys
to 3-5sm btwn 10-12z.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Medium on convective development this afternoon.
High on all other elements.
