Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
118 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2019

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 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.

.AVIATION...
18Z Update...
Models are progging a prolonged period of MVFR CIGs as an upper
low moves across behind the cold front moving through today. In
addition, iso/sct shra likely as the upper low moves across.
Will likely have to add VCSH/Tempo groups when coverage becomes
greater. Winds have switched over to the west side and will remain
gusty through the period. CIGs may lift to VFR late tomorrow
afternoon.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Med confidence shra timing. High confidence remaining elements.
