Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
1151 PM EDT Thu Aug 2 2018

.UPDATE...

Forecast is on track. Pockets of moderate to heavy precipitation
continue to move through metro Atlanta and toward Athens tonight.
With some training noted across Henry, Butts and Newton counties
and points northward...these are going to be the locations of
concern overnight. These showers are riding a boundary with storm
motion parallel to the mean flow. So this may lead to localized
flooding. As the aforementioned meso-low tracks north of the
metro, it should help lift this band of heavier precipitation
northward. Some deformation across NE GA has been noted as well
tonight, NE of the meso-low with light to moderate rain observed.
Expect an additional half an inch to an inch of rain with locally
higher amounts the next several hours.

26

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 816 PM EDT Thu Aug 2 2018/

UPDATE...

Moderate to heavy rain is moving into the metro area as a broad
meso low, currently centered near Tyrone in north Fayette, continues
to track NE this evening. Gusty winds associated with this meso
have been observed at ATL with wind speeds upwards of 25kts.
This area of precipitation will take a a couple hours to move out
of the metro and move into the NE mountains. Associated with this
meso- low there are further areas of light to moderate rain
extending toward AHN down southwest toward CSG. This activity
will push north and east through the evening with continued
moisture feed from the GOM. Therefore we do expect some showers
overnight.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 256 PM EDT Thu Aug 2 2018/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Friday Night/...

Models are still in good agreement that the deep upper level
longwave trough will remain nearly stationary to the west of
the area over the Mississippi River Valley through tonight. On
Friday, the trough will finally begin to weaken and lift
northeastward away from the area, and the associated surface
boundary will wash out. North and central Georgia will remain
under the influence of southwesterly upper level flow ahead of the
trough, which will keep deep tropical moisture in place over the
area into Friday morning. PWAT values range from between 1.8 and
2.2 inches across north and central Georgia today, and will
decrease to between 1.4 and 1.8 inches on Friday as the upper
trough begins to weaken and southwest flow diminishes.

Several shortwaves embedded within the moist flow will continue to
move northeastward through our area which will keep rain chances
high through the end of the week. Model guidance is showing some
modest instability as these impulses move across the forecast area,
with the highest values in eastern Georgia. Thunderstorms embedded
within the showers will be most likely in areas where brief breaks
occur in the cloud coverage this afternoon. With some remaining
uncertainty, have maintained chance of thunder through this evening
followed by a slight chance of thunder on Friday. Some flash
flooding impacts have already been observed in association with
this system, and the concern could increase as both the soils
remain saturated. With the flow remaining parallel to storm
motion, training of heavy precipitation could occur which will
enhance the risk for flash flooding through early Friday morning.
As a result, the Flash Flood Watch will continue as it is.

Because of the widespread rain and increased cloud coverage, daytime
high temperatures will remain below average for this time of year,
especially on Thursday. Highs on Thursday will struggle to get out
of the 70s while highs on Friday will be in the low to mid 80s
throughout the region. Nighttime low temperatures will stay around
normal with lows in the upper 60s and low 70s.

King

LONG TERM /Saturday through Thursday/...

Did not make any fundamental changes to the previous Extended
Forecast trends. Medium-range models still in pretty good agreement
through the first half of next week and consistent with recent runs
showing high pressure, both surface and aloft, building back into
the region from the western Atlantic. This nudges the upper trough
that has been plaguing the region back to the northwest and returns
the forecast area to a more summertime regime of scattered diurnal
convection and near normal temperatures. Ridging reaches a maximum
over the area early in the week and then flattens as upper-level
trough begins digging back into the eastern U.S. Still some
divergence between the models concerning the evolution of this trend
so I am not inclined to push POPs past Chance category yet that far
out in the period.

AVIATION...
00Z Update...
Moderate to heavy rain continues to move north across some of the
metro TAF sites this evening, mainly ATL and PDK. This will
briefly reduce vsbys with gusts of 25kts. Expect this
precipitation activity to continue north and east over the next
couple of hours. Cigs are generally IFR and will continue through
the overnight, flirting with LIFR by the early morning hours.
Vsbys generally 4-6SM overnight. Cigs will lift during the mid-
morning to VFR by the afternoon. Scattered TSRA is possible
tomorrow afternoon. Winds will be generally out of the east the
next couple of hours, veering to the SW through the remaining TAF
period.

//ATL Confidence...00Z Update...
Medium confidence on ceilings.
Medium to high confidence on all other elements.

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight...

A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Friday morning.
Flooding will be the primary weather hazard through tonight.

The potential for localized flooding continues to remain high,
especially in urban centers, low lying areas and poor drainage
areas where moderate to heavy rain persists for extended periods
of time. As the heaviest precipitation trains across north and
east Georgia, this will be the area of most concern overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected each day.
Widespread severe weather is not anticipated. However, the potential
for localized flooding will still exist.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected through tonight.
