Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
438 PM EST Fri Dec 28 2018

.UPDATE...
The Flash Flood Watch has been cancelled. Rainfall has diminished
within the watch area and additional Flash Flooding is not
anticipated.

Several creeks, streams and rivers continue out of
their banks...and some water levels continue to rise. Will cover
the river/creek/stream flooding with River Flood Warnings.

Additional heavy rains are expected during the latter half of the
weekend into early next week. Additional Flood Watches may be
necessary and interested parties should monitor the weather over
the Holiday Weekend.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 255 PM EST Fri Dec 28 2018/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...
Minor break in the extremely wet pattern through much of this
forecast period as the cold front and band of diminishing convection
settles south and east into central/south Georgia. Patchy light rain
will remain possible tonight and during the day Saturday across
parts of north Georgia, but widespread moderate rainfall will remain
south of the areas that received 2-6 inches of rainfall over the
past 24 hours. With several rivers still rising and many still well
above flood stage across the area, I plan on continuing the Flash
Flood Watch at this time, despite diminishing rainfall. Better rain
chances Start spreading back north through the latter half of the
forecast period, but amounts are expected to remain modest through
Saturday night. Instability minimal for thunder through the short
term forecast period.

20

LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/...
No major changes made to the extended forecast. All in all the wet
period is expected to continue through the extended period. The
upper level low will move across northern Mexico Saturday night
into Monday with deep moist southwest flow feeding periods of
showers. A warm front will lift northward Sunday, and a cold front
will move into the area late Monday as the now upper level wave
pushes the surface low through the Mississippi, Tennessee Valleys
onto the Ohio Valley by Tuesday. Isolated thunderstorms will be
possible Monday afternoon and again Tuesday afternoon in the
vicinity of the cold front. The cold front slowly pushes through
the forecast area Tuesday and Wednesday as the next upper level
low digs into the desert southwest. As the upper low ejects across
the Gulf Coast states by the end of the week, surface low pushes
the front through the forecast area by the end of the week.
Current rainfall totals for Saturday night through Wednesday
morning are in the 1.5 to 3 inch range. With already saturated
soils and multiple days of rainfall, the threat for flash flooding
in addition to river flooding will continue for several days.
Have stayed close to guidance temperatures through the extended
period, which brings near freezing temperatures into portions of
north Georgia Thursday morning which would support a mix of rain
and snow briefly Thursday morning. At this time any accumulations
will be an inch or less.

Atwell/01

AVIATION...

Mixture of mainly MVFR to LIFR conditions in the band of moderate to
heavy precipitation stretching from near the KAHN TAF site across
KMCN to KCSG, generally MVFR/VFR outside of this band including the
Atlanta Metro area TAFs. Band of convection will continue to sink
southeast across the area, clearing the southern and eastern TAF
sites this afternoon. Will see most areas returning to MVFR/IFR
conditions after 00Z, continuing through 18Z Saturday. Southeast to
southwest winds 6-12kt, becoming southwest to west by 20-24Z.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North and Central Georgia.

.DAY ONE...Tonight...

The Flash Flood Watch has been cancelled. The heavy rainfall has
moved out of the area. However, several rivers, creeks, and
streams remain out of their banks with many water levels
continuing to rise. River Flooding concerns are highest along and
north of the I-85 corrador. Across the area ponding on the
roadways and nuisance flooding in poor drainage and low-lying
areas will likely persist into the evening hours.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday...

Several rounds of showers will continue into next week, with
isolated thunderstorms possible Monday and Tuesday. Much of the area
could see an additional 2 to 4 inches of rainfall, with locally
higher amounts possible. This rainfall will continue to elevate
the river and stream flood threat, especially since the grounds
are saturated from recent rains. Localized flash flooding will
also be a concern in flood prone areas.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
