Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
231 PM EDT Thu Sep 27 2018

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Friday Night/...
Showers and tstorms will continue late this afternoon and into this
evening. WRF has a good handle on current area of convection and
have followed this pretty close for pops the rest of this afternoon
and evening.

Models showing the H5 short wave moving across north Georgia Friday
and this will push the cold front into central Georgia bringing
drying to north Georgia Friday afternoon and night. The front stalls
across central Georgia Friday afternoon/night as an H5 high
reasserts itself across the Gulf and southeast US. With the front
stalled across central Georgia, there will remain a chance of
showers/tstorms across central Georgia into Friday night.

17

.LONG TERM /Saturday through Thursday/...
Old boundary will remain across south/south central GA early in the
period as high pressure builds in from the north. At the beginning
of the period, the high center is located across the central Great
Lakes, but begins to move east during the weekend, and finally moves
offshore by late Sunday. As the high center moves into the Middle
Atlantic, a wedge will build down the spine of the Appalachians and
hold through the middle of next week. The airmass within the wedge
should be a bit drier, but outside of the wedge scattered convection
will be possible.

Temperatures will remain at or slightly above normal through the
period.
