Area Forecast Discussion...Updated for Aviation
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
650 AM EST Sun Dec 9 2018

.SHORT TERM /Today through Monday/...
Main concerns in the short term period are winter precipitation
and amounts, strong winds and flooding from overnight heavy
rainfall.

Winter precip and temperatures have evolved very close to
forecast values in most areas, though icing in trees a little less
than expected. With the strong winds and light icing in trees,
have had numerous reports of trees down across northeast GA,
especially in winter storm warning areas, White and Dawson
counties in particular. Near term, hires model guidance still
indicating temps will cool a degree or two over southern part of
wedge, north of I-20 today and am hesitant to cancel advisory in
this area in spite of limited icing in trees. Have had some
reports of trees down from strong winds and icing in Hall and
Banks counties and would not be surprised if this continues and
happens a little further south today.

Fortunately, bulk of heaviest precip has moved out and will now
be in a period of scattered light precip with lessening chances
through Monday. Temperatures in the warm nose aloft quite warm
this morning based on 06Z RAOB and hires model profile so expect
more FZRA/RA than SN/IP today before cooling takes place aloft and
we transition to very light RA/SN after 6pm. Later shifts may
want to clear out winter advisories and warnings a little sooner
based on reports and feedback from partners.

Likewise, heavy rain has also mostly ended with scattered areas of
moderate precip. Runoff from heavy rainfall has led to several
flood warnings for observed or expected minor flooding. Will
continue watch until runoff and rising streamflows have decreased.

Strong winds have also subsided some but with risk of falling
trees from ice or wet soils, will allow wind advisory to expire at
noon.

SNELSON

.LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/...
Precip finally ends Mon evening as short wave moves out. Med range
guidance in fair agreement up until Thursday with NW flow becoming
WSW in advance of strong, digging short wave plowing down into TX
on Thurs. GFS and EC cutoff this wave into a deep upper low over
the southern plains early Fri with vigorous ascent over GA,
though EC tracks this upper low over south GA and GFS takes it
north. CMC meanwhile keeps wave open but still strong as it also
brings strong vertical motion over GA on Fri. Luckily, even with
southern track of EC, temps will be too warm for any winter
precip. There could be some convection if GFS solution verifies,
though instability so far appears meager. There is some potential
for heavy rainfall with any of these solutions so will need to
watch this closely.

.AVIATION...
12Z Update... IFR Conditions through the forecast...but some
temporary areas of MVFR. Winds will remain east/northeast with
frequent gusts of 20 to 25 kts this morning but diminishing during
the day. Widespread rain will diminish today becoming more spotty. A
mix of rain/sleet is expected KATL-KAHN until early afternoon. A mix
of rain/snow expected after 00z but should stay north of KATL.

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