Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
843 PM EST Thu Feb 21 2019

.UPDATE...
Already seeing widespread visibilities under 1 mile, so have gone
ahead and issued a Dense Fog Advisory through 10 AM, with the
expectation that visibilities will continue to degrade overnight.
Continue to update pops and weather based on radar trends as
needed.

31

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 657 PM EST Thu Feb 21 2019/

UPDATE...
Have continued to make updates as needed to hourly temperatures
and weather grids to account for latest trends. Convection has
persisted into this evening, but is starting to run its course.
One persistent cell over west-central Georgia showed low-level
rotation where low- level vorticity interacted with the surface
warm front. This appears to be an isolated area of rotation, and
expect overall convection trends to continue diminishing. Will
continue to update as necessary.

Flash Flood Watch will expire at 7PM, and the Flood Watch
continues through Friday.

31

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 233 PM EST Thu Feb 21 2019/

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Friday Night/...
Expecting scattered convection and isolated thunder to increase in
coverage this afternoon into evening as isentropic upglide along and
north of a warm front pushes northward across the area. See
Hydrology section below for an update on expected rainfall and flood
products.

Otherwise higher pops for showers should focus back to north GA
later tonight through Friday. Given how some dense fog persisted
this morning and how guidance is indicating the southern majority of
the area could tank again tonight (even SREF vsby probs for less
than 1 mile are pretty high), have added wording of areas of dense
fog to the forecast and the evening or overnight updates may warrant
an advisory if it continues to look favorable.

Despite the warm front lifting north in the first part of the short
term, a CAD wedge looks to build back into the area by later Friday
afternoon. While models indicate some elevated instability possible,
the current thinking is that the wedge and persistent cloud cover
will keep the environment mostly stable and have left thunder
mention out with just showers. Highs may be limited to the mid to
upper 50s in the northeast with a rather tight gradient of higher
temps farther west and south. Central Georgia still could be as warm
as the mid to upper 70s - possibly near the 80 mark in the far
south.

Baker

LONG TERM /Saturday through Thursday/...
Not too many changes from forecast early this morning...see
forecast discussion below. Models showing surface front will push
into northwest Georgia during the early morning hours on Sunday,
move through Atlanta by midday, and exit the forecast area by
Sunday evening. The wave that develops over the northern Gulf on
Tuesday/Wednesday remains a bit further south than expected and
have adjusted POPs across the area accordingly. Extended period
temperatures continue to show near normal highs with warmer than
normal lows most days, except Monday morning when lows will be
near normal.

Atwell

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 338 AM EST Thu Feb 21 2019/
The long term period begins with a wedge setting in to NE Georgia
in addition to a stalled front just north of the area. With
southwesterly flow pushing moisture into the area, chances for
showers will continue through Saturday, with the highest chances
across northern Georgia. High PWs and instability will continue
the potential for periods of heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms
across the area. With multiple rivers across northern Georgia
already in flood, concerns for river flooding and flash flooding
will continue as these rounds of precipitation impact the area,
especially across portions of northern Georgia.

Chances for showers and thunderstorms increase across the entire
area for late Saturday/Sunday as a cold front pushes through the
area on Sunday. QPF totals are currently around half and inch to
an inch with the highest totals across northern GA. With already
saturated soils across much of northern Georgia concerns for river
flooding and flash flooding will continue. After this system
clears the area late Sunday, we should see some drier weather on
Monday and for some areas part of Tuesday as high pressure pushes
into the area. Models then show a wave moving north from the gulf
into the area on late Tuesday into Wednesday, but models differ
on northward extent as well timing of the moisture across the
area. At this point have only included slight chance pops across
the area.

Temperatures through the weekend are expected to be just above
average in the 60s and 70s, aside from those within the wedge on
Saturday where highs are expected to be in the 50s. After the
weekend system, high temperatures are expected to be closer to
seasonal norms.

HYDROLOGY...
Given how some storms and heavy showers could train across the
southern extent of the current Flash Flood Watch (close to the I-85
corridor), we have opted to maintain the watch through 00z this
evening. As the forcing and main moisture axis focuses back to
portions of north Ga overnight and Friday, an additional 1-2
inches of QPF is possible and therefore have issued a Flood Watch
along and north of a Rome to Canton to Cleveland line from 00z
tonight through 00z Saturday.

AVIATION...
00Z Update...
Precip will continue to diminish over the area over the next few
hours, and expect LIFR-IFR conditions to develop by 04z at most
sites (8-10z for KMCN and KCSG). Dense fog remains a particular
concern for the early morning hours, with most TAFs including a
1/4-1/2SM for the 05-12/14Z period. Some slow improvement is
possible through the day, but overall expect only high end IFR
through the afternoon. Winds will waver a bit, but remain on the
east side, generally 5kt or less through 15z, then increasing to
10kt or less for the remainder of the period.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
High on winds.
High on ceilings.
Medium on visibilities.

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

Areas of patchy dense fog will linger across the area through
late morning.

Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to continue to impact
the area through this afternoon and evening. The main hazards
with any storm will be gusty winds and heavy rainfall.

The Flash Flood Watch continues until this evening for most of
North Georgia including the Atlanta metro, where 1 to 2 with
locally higher amounts are possible. As a result of multiple
periods with heavy rainfall, nearly all the rain that will fall
will be converted to runoff and some localized flooding of creeks
and streams may be possible across portions of northern Georgia.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday...

An increased threat for river and stream flooding will continue
through the week and weekend as rain falls over saturated
grounds. Localized flash flooding will also be possible,
especially over the complex terrain of north Georgia. Make sure to
stay tuned to the latest forecasts and updates each day for any
changes to the forecast.

In addition, there is a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday and
Sunday

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
