Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
1202 AM EST Wed Mar 6 2019

.UPDATE FOR AVIATION...

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 646 PM EST Tue Mar 5 2019/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/...

Short term period will begin with a strong surface high pressure
building in over the southeastern CONUS from the west, ushering in
cold and dry air over the region. In this cold and dry airmass, RH
values will bottom out in the 20-25 percent range this afternoon and
the 15-25 percent range on Wednesday afternoon and temperatures will
be well below climatological normals. Highs are anticipated to be 15-
20 degrees colder than average for today and Wednesday, with
temperatures mainly in the low 40s in north Georgia and in the mid
to upper 40s in central Georgia. Lows are anticipated to be mainly
10-15 degrees colder than average for tonight and Wednesday night,
with temperatures ranging from the teens to the upper 20s. As a
result, a Freeze Warning is in effect for north and central Georgia
tonight.

The gradient ahead of the high pressure center is tight, leading to
some increased winds this afternoon and evening as a result. Higher
wind speeds will contribute to lower wind chill values, which will
drop to as low as the single digits across the higher elevations of
far north Georgia. However, wind chills are expected to remain above
advisory criteria at this time. Frost is furthermore not anticipated
during the overnight hours due to the breezy conditions.

King

FIRE WEATHER...

A cold and dry airmass is in place over the area due to the
influence of strong high pressure moving in from the west. Northwest
winds of 10-20 mph along with gusts of up to 20-30 mph are
contributing to rapid drying. Minimum RH values will be in the 20-25
percent range this afternoon area-wide, as a result.

Wednesday is expected to be drier, with minimum RH values bottoming
out in the 15-25 percent range throughout the area. Northwest winds
will continue on Wednesday, but will be weaker than today, at 10-15
mph and some gusts up to 20-25 mph. While fuels may remain too
wet today, a Fire Danger Statement may be warranted on Wednesday
after winds and low RH values continue to dry out the fuels.

LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/...

Rain chances will begin to return by late week and in earnest by
the weekend. Thunderstorms remain possible late Saturday into
Sunday. Model discrepancies widen by Sunday into Monday with the
latest ECMWF maintaining a wetter pattern into Monday. Please
reference the previous long-term discussion below for further
details.

RW

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 342 AM EST Tue Mar 5 2019/

LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Monday/...

Enhanced moisture axis and a weak disturbance traversing the TN
valley will allow for the return of showers for mainly north
Georgia late Thursday through Friday. Could have a brief lull in
coverage Friday night but not enough to remove pops, then an
amplifying trough to the west of the region and an attendant
deepening sfc low centered north of the area will push a fairly
strong occluded front across the area late Saturday into Sunday.
Progged instability looks slightly higher than in previous runs
during this period, though much could change this late in the
forecast. Some decent low level shear and marginal deep layer
shear looks to be the environment so will monitor any trends
supportive of some stronger convective potential, otherwise have
continued likely pops for widespread showers and slight chance
thunder.

Some discrepancies beyond this system into Monday as we look to be
in zonal flow aloft where some moisture/waves could keep some
shower chances for parts of the area.

...HIGH FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF NORTH AND
   CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING DUE TO LOW
   RELATIVE HUMIDITIES...

Relative Humidities of 12 to 22 percent can be expected for about
4 to 9 hours across the area this afternoon and early evening.
Most winds will be West to Northwest 5 to 10 mph with some gusts
possible less than 20 mph.

It is unsure just how dry all the fuels got yesterday but
wanted to error on the side of caution that high fire danger
conditions can be expected.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities
concerning whether your may burn outdoors.  If you do burn
outside, use extreme caution.
