NWS Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 19, 11:08 AM EDT, 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 11:08 AM EDT, 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1108 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2019 .UPDATE... Updated to add watch for E portions of the CWFA. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 911 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2019/ UPDATE... Tornado Watch has expired. The potential for severe weather continues mainly across areas along and east of a line from Athens to Columbus. The primary hazards will be damaging wind gusts, localized flooding and lightning. A brief tornado will also be possible. Also, tweaked the hourly grid and pops according to current trends. PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 739 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2019/ PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 425 AM EDT Fri Apr 19 2019/ SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/... Short term models are in pretty good agreement, slowly bringing surface front across the forecast area today, with the associated upper low tracking across portions of northern AL and GA this afternoon and tonight. Hi-RES models have had a hard time resolving the line of convection ahead of the front, and currently have the main line of showers and thunderstorms moving across western portions of the Atlanta Metropolitan areas down to near Columbus. We have a Tornado Watch in affect through 8am over portions of west- central Georgia. This line will move into portions of eastern and central Georgia through mid morning. As the cold air associated with the upper low moves across the area this afternoon, expect chance to likely showers and thunderstorms across the area this afternoon, with best chances in the vicinity of the upper low. The colder air associated with the surface front is not in northwest AL and expect our forecast area to see somewhat of a warm up through early afternoon before the colder air makes it into north and west GA. Overnight lows will drop into the upper 30s and lower 40s in the higher elevation of northeast GA overnight, but do not expect any wintry precip at this time. With the upper low over eastern portions of TN tomorrow could continue to see chances for showers mainly over north GA. Temperatures on Saturday will be 10-15 degrees cooler than afternoon high today. Have stayed close to guidance temperatures through the period. Atwell LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/... Long term starts out cooler and dry with only small precip chances over the NE mountains Saturday night quickly coming to an end with a dry Easter Sunday in store. Temperatures will warm up to start the work week. GFS and European are inconsistent with handling rain chances with a weak cold front on Wednesday and Wednesday night. At this time am favoring mainly low chances for n and portions of central GA. Models continue to differ on Thursday with the GFS wetter than the European. At this time, favoring chance pops for n and most of central GA. BDL AVIATION... 12Z Update... MVFR conditions will prevail with patchy IFR conditions across the area. SHRA and isolated TSRA will move across the area through 16-18Z, with additional SHRA or isolated TSRA possible this afternoon. Winds will be southeast to west at 10-15kts with gusts to 25kts in and near any convection. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... Medium confidence all elements. Atwell && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
