Area forecast discussion, Feb 22, 2:40 AM EST, 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 240 AM EST Fri Feb 22 2019 .SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/... The wet pattern will continue through the short term, mainly for north GA. Some drying is possible early Saturday with pops dropping below likely category, however this will change Saturday afternoon as moisture increases ahead of a strong cold front that will be moving into the Tennessee Valley late Saturday. All models bring a backdoor front into the CWA this afternoon, however they differ on the strength. Will lean more toward the NAM/SREF resolution which keeps northeast GA much cooler late this afternoon and Saturday. With plenty of upglide over the wedge, clouds, light rain or drizzle can be expected across north GA. South of the wedge, temperatures will warm well above normal with dry conditions. Areas of dense fog will continue early this morning and will therefore keep the Dense Fog Advisory as is. 17 .LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/... The long term begins with a strong cold front that will move across the CWA Saturday night/early Sunday morning. This will finally clear out the rain and bring a few days of dry weather. A zonal flow will remain over the CWA following the FROPA. GFS and ECMWF differ in the depth of moisture of waves moving through the flow and across the CWA toward mid week next week. At this time will continue with chance pops beginning Tuesday night. Temperatures will remain above normal through the long term. 17 && .HYDROLOGY... Rainfall amounts across north GA will be around 1 inch or less today, but with the ground saturated, the additional rainfall will continue to aggravate the ongoing flooding and possibly push more creeks/rivers into flood. Will therefore continue the current Flood Watch as is. 17 && .AVIATION...06Z Update... IFR conditions will continue through the forecast. CSG/MCN will see MVFR conditions later today but should go back to IFR tonight. Areas of rain will continue north of ATL/AHN with both sites being on the southern end of the rain. ATL/AHN could see showers intermittently through the forecast. Winds will be light and variable to near calm, becoming east this afternoon and evening. Dense fog will keep vsbys around 1/2sm or less through 15Z with improvement into the afternoon. //ATL Confidence...06Z Update... Medium confidence. 17 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
