Area forecast discussion, Apr 20, 10:15 AM EDT, 3 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1015 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2019 .Update... Have added a slight chance of showers to portions of central GA based on radar. No other changes at this time. 41 .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 335 AM EDT Sat Apr 20 2019/ SHORT TERM /Today through Sunday/... The upper low rotates through eastern TN by midday and slowly lifts northward away from the forecast area overnight. Highest POPs will be across north Georgia, with likely POPs possible through late afternoon. Chance POPs will extend down to the I-20 corridor through this evening and remains across northeast GA through midnight or so. With good cloud cover across the area today and some cold air advection with west winds, temperatures will be in the 50s across north Georgia with central areas struggling into the mid 60s under partly sunny clouds. High pressure at the surface and weak upper level ridging on Sunday will bring mostly clear skies and afternoon temperatures in the 70s, after overnight lows drop into the 40s. Atwell LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Friday/... Dry weather is expected through Tuesday. GFS and European are not too consistent with just the GFS indicating some moisture skirting far n GA Wednesday/Wednesday night with only small chances for light showers. The GFS is much wetter on Thursday with the rain chances exiting on Friday while the European is dry on Thursday and brings in the moisture on Friday. This is mainly due to the European starting with a closed low at 500mb and the GFS is indicating a more open wave. Instability is somewhat limited but thunderstorms will certainly be possible Thursday and Friday. BDL && .AVIATION... 12Z Update... MVFR/VFR conditions across the area will continue with improving conditions through the forecast period. Light showers will be possible across the northern TAF sites through 21z.
