Area forecast discussion, Jan 4, 2:21 PM EST, 4 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 221 PM EST Fri Jan 4 2019 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/... While the post-dry slot portion and sfc occluded front is exiting the CWA to the east and north, some breaks in the wrap-around stratocu may tease momentary glimpses of the thing we call the sun for this afternoon. While the center of the upper cutoff low and associated lingering low level moisture continues to push across the MS/TN Valleys, cloud cover is unfortunately expected to fill back in for this evening into overnight though NW flow behind this system will allow for a much more optimistic clearing trend for the weekend. In the mean time, the steepening lapse rates and continued moisture near the main cold core of the low will actually allow for some continued shower and isolated thunder development in parts of north GA. There may even be a few shallow cells that generate graupel or small hail. Late tonight the last of the precip should diminish in the far northeast. Keeping it all showers late given thermal profile trend but could not rule out a few flurries or snow grains right at the tail end though sfc temps stay above freezing in the mountains. Temps mainly in the mid 50s to low 60s for Saturday with clearing skies and enhanced NW gradient winds, then even better Sunday with temps moderating into the mid to upper 60s as the flow becomes more zonal. Baker .LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/... No major forecast concerns during the long term period. 12Z model guidance in relatively strong agreement with broad upper ridging over the eastern CONUS transitioning to southwest flow and a broad upper trough over the northern/central CONUS latitudes on Monday, followed by strong NW flow aloft and subsidence Tues thru Thurs. There could be some light rain Monday night associated with warm advection ahead of front but other than that, the entire forecast will be dry. Both max and min temperatures through Wednesday will be 10 to 15 degrees above normal, possibly higher before the next front arrives on Tues night or Wednesday. Even after that, temps will remain around 5 degrees above normal. SNELSON PREV LONG TERM DISCUSSION... /Issued 332 AM EST Fri Jan 4 2019/ The long term begins with a ridge of high pressure building over the central U.S. This will bring dry and more stable air into the CWA for a few days. Another weak but fast moving system will move across the CWA late Monday and Monday night. The system will weaken as it moves across the CWA, however it will have enough moisture for another chance of showers. After Monday night, a broad trough will dominate the eastern half of the nation with the axis just off the east coast. This puts the CWA in a west northwest flow bringing dry and stable conditions for the remainder of the long term. Temperatures will be at or just above normal through the long term. 17 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... While the main precip has pushed east of the taf sites, there could be some lingering VCSH especially near the northern sites this afternoon. Some initial LIFR cigs in the north should lift to MVFR in the next few hours with a possible VFR break before lowering back into MVFR/IFR range overnight for most sites. Cigs should at least scatter out pretty quickly Saturday after 12/15z. Winds becoming SW near 10 kts gusting 16 kts into this evening, then shift more west to NW near 12 kts gusting 20 kts into Saturday. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium on evening cig trend. High on all else. Baker && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
