Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
246 PM EST Wed Nov 7 2018

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Thursday Night/...

"Weak" wave pushing through the broad west/southwest upper flow
proving to be a bit stouter than expected today. Managed to tap
enough instability for a few strong thunderstorms as it moved out of
the lower/mid Mississippi Valley today, however a general weakening
trend has been evident this afternoon as the system moves east into
the region where instability is a bit more limited. Still, we will
see isolated thunder along the I-20 corridor into the early evening
with scattered, more vigorous convection across our central Georgia
zones. Still think chances for severe thunderstorms remain marginal
at best, and confined to the far south. Persistent southwesterly
upper flow over top of the cool easterly low-level flow keeps the
region cloudy, cool and damp through the remainder of the short-term
forecast period.

20

.LONG TERM /Friday through Wednesday/...

Likely to categorical pops still look okay for Friday with the
short wave approaching from the west and the wedge holding.
Instability remains marginal for much of the area but will
continue with a mention of thunder across the area south of
Columbus to Macon. Pops diminishing overnight Friday and
both GFS and ECMWF agree on a dry weekend. However moisture will
be moving back rapidly on Sunday night as the next short wave
develops in the western Gulf. We can expect a wet period through
Tuesday night...with the ECMWF a bit slower on drying us out.
However Wednesday looks dry on both models. In general there have
been no big changes made to the forecast. The previous discussion
is included below.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 356 AM EST Wed Nov 7 2018/

.LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Tuesday/... The state will
remain in the midst of a damp weather pattern at the onset of the
long-term forecast period. From Thursday night into early Friday,
a wedge will remain in place at the surface prior to the arrival
of a strong cold front during the later Friday with persistent
shower chances amidst moist southwest flow aloft. By Friday
afternoon, the incoming cold front will scour out the wedge and
bring widespread rainfall. The threat for thunderstorms appears
very low for most locations given low instability courtesy the
lingering wedge with the chance for any thunder relegated to
central Georgia where slight instability may edge northward. The
front will clear the area from northwest to southeast through
Friday night bringing much colder air by Saturday morning with
sub-freezing temperatures possible across portions of far north
Georgia.

Cool and dry weather will persist through the majority of the
weekend as the center of the surface high transitions from the Ohio
Valley into the mid-Atlantic. Sunday morning, more widespread
freezing temperatures appear likely across portions of north Georgia
under clear skies and relatively light winds.

The dry weather will be short-lived with moisture quickly surging
back northward Sunday night as southwest flow aloft returns and a
surface low develops over the Gulf of Mexico. There are model
discrepancies on the placement of the developing surface low as it
moves northeastward with the GFS favoring a more southeasterly track
and the ECMWF a track northwest of the area. Either way, rain
chances will increase markedly into the day Monday. The GFS solution
would provide a slight potential for a brief rain/snow mix in the
higher elevations early Tuesday, but at this point temperatures
appear border line and confidence is low with no significant
impact expected. While the GFS clears the front east of the area
Tuesday night with much colder air surging into the state by
Wednesday morning, the ECMWF is delayed until Wednesday. This
would set the stage for freezing low temperatures across most of
the area midweek, and highs would likely remain in the 40s for
much of north Georgia.

AVIATION...
18Z Update...

Area of showers and thunderstorms moving west across Alabama should
continue to weaken some as it moves into the forecast area. However,
late this afternoon into this evening, isolated thunderstorms are
possible across the northern TAF sites with scattered thunder
possible at the southern sites. Chances appear to be a bit low for
inclusion in the northern TAFs at this time. MVFR cigs have been
spotty so far today, but will become more consistent and
widespread as we move into the late afternoon and into the
evening. IFR conditions are expected to develop by 06Z across the
south and between 08Z-10Z across the north, continuing through at
least 14-16Z tomorrow. East winds 6kts or less outside of
convection.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
