Area Forecast Discussion

247 PM EDT Fri Jul 6 2018

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...

Somewhat complex setup over the forecast area through the short-term
forecast period as the region remains situated between the weak mid/
upper ridging to the northwest and the weak mid/upper low drifting
westward across south Georgia/north Florida. Throw in the frontal
boundary settling into state and we should continue to see scattered
to widespread convection through the period. With generally weak
mechanical lift due to the surface front and upper low,
precipitation coverage will also continue to show a decidedly
diurnal tendency. Ample sky cover Saturday will keep high
temperatures at or even a bit below seasonal normals.

Although instability is expected to remain moderate at best over the
region, a few strong to marginally severe storms cannot be ruled out
as we go into this evening and again Saturday afternoon and evening.
Precipitable water values remain high, but not extreme for this time
of year, however mid-level winds should keep storms moving enough to
avoid all but a localized threat for any flooding problems.

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/...

By the beginning of the long-term forecast period on Sunday, the
weak weekend cold front will have sagged into central and south
Georgia. The best focus for shower and thunderstorm development
Sunday afternoon and evening will thus be in central Georgia with
less coverage farther north. On Monday, surface high pressure will
encroach from the northeast which will help to suppress shower and
thunderstorm development across eastern portions of the CWA while
focusing the best coverage over the southwestern half of the area.
This drier airmass will continue to filter into the area on Tuesday,
limiting diurnal convection to isolated to widely scattered
coverage.

While a tropical system may develop off the coast of the Carolinas in
the Atlantic by mid-to-late week, this potential system will be
of no consequence to Georgia as it gets kicked northeastward by an
upper trough. The trend for our area will be gradually warming
temperatures and isolated to scattered afternoon/evening
convection as upper ridging begins to build into the Southeast.

Temperatures at the onset of the extended will be on the cooler side
behind the aforementioned front with highs largely in the mid-80s on
Sunday. Through the extended highs are expected to gradually warm
back into the low-to-mid 90s by midweek.

.AVIATION...
18Z Update...

Most areas SCT/BKN VFR level clouds currently and this trend should
continue outside of convection through 06Z. MVFR or lower ceilings
developing by 06-08Z most areas, continuing through 14-16Z.
Conditions should improve to mainly VFR by 18Z most areas. Isolated
to scattered convection developing at this time will become more
widespread through 00Z before diminishing to isolated by 06Z. Winds
northwest to northeast 4-8kt will become mainly northeast to east
after 04-06Z.

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

Medium on timing of convection and lower ceilings early Saturday
morning. High on all other elements.
