Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
256 PM EDT Wed Jun 27 2018

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Thursday Night/...
Northwest flow is still dominating through the short term period
bringing multiple impulses through the area today and Thursday. For
this afternoon, a shortwave pushing into north Georgia will help to
focus higher coverage of showers/thunderstorms across the northern
tier. Scattered thunderstorms are still expected across the rest of
the area through this evening. With steepening low level lapse
rates, increasing PWATS, MLCAPE >2000 J/kg and DCAPE >1000 J/kg,
some storms will likely become severe, with the greatest chance in
northern Georgia, generally north of I-20. The greatest threats this
afternoon and evening will be damaging winds, hail, frequent
lightning, and heavy rain. The severe threat should diminish later
in the evening, although showers may linger into night.

The aforementioned shortwave will continue to push southeast
through the area overnight and will provide a focus for showers
and thunderstorms Thursday afternoon as well. In addition, another
impulse will push to move into the area Thursday morning. Models
have been hinting at the possibility of an MCS moving through the
area later on Thursday afternoon, although location is hard to pin
down at this point. Regardless, showers and thunderstorms can be
expected again tomorrow afternoon/evening.

High temperatures today and Thursday are in the 80s and 90s. Max
heat index values are around 100-104 in central Georgia for both
today and Thursday. Although this is below the 105 degree heat
advisory criteria, trends will continue to be monitored for any
changes.

Reaves

.LONG TERM /Friday through Wednesday/...
No major changes needed to the ongoing forecast for the long term
period of the forecast. High pressure aloft will begin to break down
by Friday with a shear axis setting up across southern GA, remaining
through the weekend.  At the surface, a weak boundary is expected to
move through on Friday and potentially lingering across southern GA
through Saturday. High pressure is expected for the remainder of the
forecast period. The highest pops are currently in place for Friday
through Thursday, coincident with the weak boundary. After this, no
real synoptic features to focus upon and only expect typical diurnal
activity.

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected this
afternoon and evening. Strong thunderstorms are likely, but a few
severe thunderstorms are not out of the question. Any severe
thunderstorm that develops will have the potential to produce
damaging wind gusts, frequent lightning strikes and locally heavy
rainfall. An isolated brief tornado cannot be ruled out. The most
likely time for strong to severe storms would be between 1pm and
7pm.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday...

There is a chance of thunderstorms each day for the rest of the
time period through the beginning of next week, mainly during the
afternoon and evening hours with few storms becoming strong to
severe each day with gusty winds, frequent lightning and isolated
flooding from heavy rainfall.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
