Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
254 PM EDT Fri Mar 15 2019

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...

A cold front is currently positioned across the central portion of
or forecast area and is continuing to drop southeastward. Scattered
showers and some isolated thunderstorms are ongoing ahead of this
line, but coverage has diminished through the late morning into
the afternoon. Although moderate instability remains throughout
central Georgia this afternoon, there is only very weak forcing
and shear which will not allow for the development of organized
convection. While an isolated storm could become strong and
produce some strong, gusty winds, no severe storms are anticipated
at this time. After the front clears the area tonight, there
remains some uncertainty with respect to how far the cold front
sinks into south Georgia/north Florida. Since the parent low has
quickly retreated into northeast Canada and the upper-level flow
is expected to become westerly and nearly zonal, little to no
forcing is there to push the front further to the south.
Maintained broken cloud coverage into Saturday throughout much of
the area, along with some lingering slight chance PoPs across the
far southern tier in the early morning hours to account for the
stalling of the boundary.

Northwest winds will build into the area as the cold front pushes
southeastward out of the area, ushering in a colder airmass into the
forecast area. As a result, low temperatures overnight and Saturday
night will return to near climatological normals, mainly in the 30s
in north Georgia and low to mid 40s in central Georgia. With
temperatures expected to drop to near or below freezing in the
higher elevations of northeast Georgia overnight, a Freeze Warning
has been issued from 08Z to 14Z Saturday. A surface high approaching
from the west will allow for a fairly strong pressure gradient to
set up behind the front, which will lead to some 15-20 kt wind gusts
from this afternoon into Saturday, with even higher gusts up to 25
kts in the mountains. These winds will inhibit the development of
frost so opted not to issue a Frost Advisory for tonight.

King

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/...

A dry cold front is expected to move through on Monday. Slightly
cooler temperatures are anticipated with values around 5-10 degrees
below normal. A second, weak, frontal boundary is anticipated to
move south across the area during the latter part of next week. With
high pressure holding strong across the Gulf Coast, the front isn't
expected to make much progress southward...and very little precip is
anticipated with it's passage. Not much cold/cooler air behind this
boundary.

AVIATION...
18Z Update...
Showers and isolated thunderstorms are moving south and east of
the metro TAF sites as the cold front progresses into central
Georgia, although some VCSH may linger behind until around 20Z.
Precipitation is still ongoing at AHN and possible this afternoon
at MCN/CSG but is expected to clear those sites by 22Z. Ceilings
are improving behind the front from NW to SE, with high MVFR/low
VFR in place. Cigs will continue to lift area-wide before
scattering out in the early morning hours Saturday. Mainly W winds
early this afternoon are shifting to NW and remain so through the
rest of the period. Winds are expected to be 7-12 kts with some
gusts up to 20 kts through the overnight hours.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...

High confidence on winds.
Medium confidence on all other elements.
