Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 3:38 PM EDT, 34 minutes before

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

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...
Low pressure is currently situated across eastern TN with a nearly N-
S oriented front bi-secting the state of GA. The front will continue
eastward this evening and should clear the CWFA during the late
afternoon/early evening. 500mb analysis shows a closed upper low
across NE MS. This low center will move overhead tonight and
tomorrow. Very strong mid level energy associated with the upper
low, providing enough lift for sct shra well into tomorrow. The
gradient will remain tight through tomorrow, and frequent gusts to
20-25mph will be likely through tomorrow afternoon.

Below normal temps expected overnight and Saturday. However, have
bumped values upwards overnight due to the cloud cover and winds.

NListemaa

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/...

No major changes made to the extended forecast at this time. See
previous discussion.

Previous Discussion...
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.
