Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
1236 PM EST Tue Dec 24 2019

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1038 AM EST Tue Dec 24 2019/

UPDATE...

Most of the clouds have cleared the area over the past few hours,
with just a small area of fog still lingering across portions of northern
Georgia and some lower clouds retreating across central Georgia.
This fog should continue to erode through the rest of the morning
hours. Only a few minor tweaks have been made to the previous
forecast package.

Reaves

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 619 AM EST Tue Dec 24 2019/

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 256 AM EST Tue Dec 24 2019/

SHORT TERM /Today through Wednesday/...
The latest regional surface analysis shows low pressure now off the
Georgia and South Carolina coast. This feature continues to spread
wrap around moisture back over the SE zones of the forecast area.
Residual showers is the result and will carry some mid range chance
pops through the early morning hours. Despite a northerly surface
flow across the area, temperatures remain quite warm for this time
of year with mid 50s for most locales.

The low will pull out through the afternoon hours allowing for drier
air to filter into the area as skies become partly cloudy for the
first time in days. Temperatures will soar as a result this
afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 60s and even the
possibility of a few lower 70s for portions of Central GA. Upper
ridge will replace the trough Tue night and although clear skies and
radiational cooling will allow for some upper 30s and 40s, this will
still be some 5 to 7 degrees above normal.

If you are looking for Christmas like weather, this may not be the
year for you as clear skies and continued highs in the mid to
upper 60s will be the rule.

Deese

LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Monday/...
A fairly quiet start to the long term with the next cold front
forecast to move across the area on Sunday. Shower chances will
increase Saturday night and Sunday and will likely diminish or
end come Monday. Forecast instability is limited and will continue
to leave the chance of thunderstorms out of the forecast for now.

GFS and European models are in better agreement with Saturday night
into Sunday night as the main period with the highest shower chances.

Temperatures will be well above normal for much of the long term period.

.AVIATION...
18Z Update...
VFR conditions will persist across the area through the period
with mainly high clouds expected. Some indication of a return of MVFR
cigs return Wednesday morning to MCN/CSG after about 06Z and the
rest of the taf sites around 13/14Z. Have low confidence for atl
area taf sites, but have included few MVFR deck at this time.
Also, some patchy fog may be possible across the atl metro taf
sites/AHN Wednesday morning, but any fog that does develop should
clear by late morning. Winds are currently NE across the area
around 6-13kts and should diminish overnight before becoming more
E on Wednesday around 5-10kts.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
