Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
345 AM EDT Wed Jun 27 2018

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 831 PM EDT Tue Jun 26 2018/

UPDATE...
Near term forecast in pretty good shape. Convective complex in
eastern TN still chugging along and just now moving into far north
GA. Decent cold pool behind this line with temps around 70F. Not
seeing many svr reports in last hour or so but will keep a close
eye on it. Another smaller area of showers/storms over westcentral
GA but cloud tops warming and radar trends also decreasing
quickly. Hires models again of little value. Appears only recent
HRRR runs have decent handle on observed trends and very near term
so far. Should see convection dissipate by 11p to midnight.

SNELSON

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 315 PM EDT Tue Jun 26 2018/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/...

Upper level ridge still building in place over the gulf states,
keeping our area generally in west to northwest flow through the
short term period. A perturbation moving through the flow in
addition to diurnal heating will bring us showers and
thunderstorms this afternoon with another round of showers and
thunderstorms possible this evening, mainly across northern
Georgia. Have kept slight chance to chance pops across the area
for isolated to scattered coverage of showers/storms this
afternoon and evening. A few severe storms are not out of the
question, especially across northern Georgia.

For Wednesday, diurnal showers and thunderstorms are expected
again in the afternoon/evening. Later on Wednesday afternoon, a
short wave trough will push through the area and with it a focus
for showers and thunderstorms in conjunction with diurnal heating.
These showers/storms may linger into the evening as well. The
best chances for the strongest storms will be across northern
Georgia. A few storms may become severe with the main hazard being
damaging winds.

High temperatures today and Wednesday are in the 80s and 90s. Max
heat index values are around 100-103 in central Georgia for both
today and Wednesday. Trends will continue to be monitored as this
is just below heat advisory criteria.

Reaves

LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/...

The forecast is on track with little changes needed at this
update. A trough and associated front will move through later
Wednesday through the overnight which should be the axis by which
we see most convection during this time. Expecting linear
development of showers and thunderstorms to move through from
north to central GA. The boundary will sag south of the area and
will be the catalysis for thunderstorms develop during Thursday
and Friday afternoons. By the weekend into next week, strong high
pressure will build overhead with ample ridging aloft. This will
result in widespread diurnal convection each afternoon/evening.

Temperatures will be AOA normal through the period.

26

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 424 AM EDT Tue Jun 26 2018/

LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Monday/...

As the long term portion begins, a shortwave trough will be
pushing through the region late Wed evening into Wed night.
Although guidance is not really emphasizing this feature, fell
combination of this enhanced lift and residual instability will be
enough to keep convection going into the first half of the
overnight period.

Will continue in a NW flow type pattern through the end of the
week so will be difficult to time individual impulses within the
flow. May be less of a diurnal trend to pops during this time
period but for now have continued to indicate highest pops during
the afternoon hours. Some indications of perhaps some drier air
working into the NE corner of the forecast area Fri but may not be
enough to shut down convection completely given aforementioned
lift.

Mid and upper level high moves over the NE states for the weekend
into early next week. Deep layer moisture will traverse the
southern extent of this to bring higher rain chances back to the
area. Precipitable water increases to 2 inches by late Sat and
continues into Sun. Some notable dry air to move in from the east
by early next week with PW values falling to at or slightly below
seasonal norms.

.AVIATION...
06Z Update...
Ceilings are all over the place this morning ranging from VFR to
LIFR. Over all trend is the ceilings are falling now that the
convection has diminished. We should see mainly IFR to MVFR
ceilings at the TAF sites just before day break. These low
ceilings should lift and diminish fast just after sunrise and
should be back to VFR by 13z-14z. VSBYs are doing the same thing
and expecting them to follow the ceilings trend through day break.
Expecting another round of afternoon SHRA/TSRA again today with
the greatest chances between 20z-00z. Winds are light and variable
this morning but will see mainly W to SW today with speeds 10kt
or less. Will see some stronger...gusty winds this afternoon in
and around any convective activity.

//ATL Confidence...06Z Update...
Medium to High confidence for all elements
