Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
256 PM EDT Sat Sep 29 2018

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/...
A stationary front across the central to s GA area has allowed for
showers and thunderstorms across mainly central GA this afternoon
with mainly just small chances for portions of n GA. Shower and storm
chances are expected to decrease during the evening.
With easterly flow increasing over the area small shower chances
will continue for mainly the eastern portion of the forecast
area.

Plenty of moisture is forecast over the area for Sunday and showers
and thunderstorms are expected to flare up with chances peaking in
the afternoon to early evening, then diminishing. The highest pops
will favor central GA where the greatest instability is forecast.

Forecast low temperatures are running around 10 degrees above normal
tonight and around 7 to 9 degrees above normal Sunday night.
Forecast high temperatures are near to slight above normal on Sunday.

Overall confidence is medium.

BDL

.LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/...
No major changes to the long term. High pressure builds over the
southeast U.S. turning the heat back on over the CWA. Moisture
associated with the decaying cold front returns early in the long
term bringing the chance of showers/tstorms back to north GA but as
the high builds over the CWA, the diurnally driven convection will
slowly come to an end making for a dry end of the week and into next
weekend. Temperatures continue to run warmer than MOS Guide, so have
raised temps a degree or two for max temps through the long term.
