Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
1249 AM EST Sun Dec 2 2018

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 655 PM EST Sat Dec 1 2018/

UPDATE...
Updated the forecast to add the tornado watch for a portion of the
far southern CWFA. Any severe weather that develops is expected
during the latter part of the watch.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 636 PM EST Sat Dec 1 2018/

UPDATE...
Somewhat of a wedge currently in place across the CWFA this
evening. Do expect some erosion of the wedge tonight as a cold
front approaches from the west. So, temperatures will not be
diurnal in nature. Have tweaked the hourly temps grids to have
them holding or rising overnight.

Convection has struggled east of the AL/GA state line. However,
will not rule out thunderstorms overnight, with a few strong ones
anticipated. An isolated severe thunderstorm in not out of the
question, but potential is low.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 255 PM EST Sat Dec 1 2018/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/...

Most of the area is wedged in with a warm front across south GA.
This boundary should gradually push north overnight at the same
time a front moves in from the west. As far as rainfall
goes...this just means a continuation of rain with a few
thunderstorms into the night. A few storms may be severe mainly
over a portion of west central GA. Rainfall amounts over the last
24 hours have ranged from one to two inches...locally near two and
a half. Conditions are favorable for possible flooding of creeks
and streams...depending on how the rain develops during the
evening. Will let the next shift take another look. Rain should
diminish across the north on Sunday...but the boundary should
stall across central GA as it becomes parallel to the upper flow.
So pops have been continued for central areas on Sunday into
Sunday night. With cool easterly flow...temperatures will be non
diurnal and may rise overnight as the warm front pushes north.

LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/...

No changes were made to the forecast. The previous discussion is
included below.

20

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 425 AM EST Sat Dec 1 2018/

LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Friday/...
The long term periods are marked by a dry, benign weather pattern.
Long term models are in good agreement, with surface front slowly
sinking southward across the forecast area through Tuesday
morning with showers or isolated thunderstorms mainly over
southern portions of the forecast area. Surface high pressure will
build into the forecast area across the Gulf Coast state through
the end of the work week, with afternoon temperatures trending
toward near normal after a warmer than normal start to the work
week. Overnight lows will be cooler than normal as skies become
mostly clear under the influence of high pressure.
