Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 3:38 PM EDT, 2 hours 18 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. BDL && .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. NListemaa && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
