Area forecast discussion, Jan 19, 9:47 PM EST, 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 947 PM EST Sat Jan 19 2019 .UPDATE... Quick update to remove any mention of severe weather/remove Tornado Watch and adjust POPs/Wx grids overnight. Cold front continues to push into western GA at this time with temps falling quickly into the 40s behind it. Scattered light showers will continue in the colder airmass as upr lvl low tracks east across the Tennessee Valley. As colder air moves in, expect a few light snow showers or flurries mainly across far northwest GA and in the higher elevations (NW-facing slopes). && DJN.83 .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 650 PM EST Sat Jan 19 2019/ .UPDATE... For 00z TAFs/Aviation. .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 311 PM EST Sat Jan 19 2019/ SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/... Still not too much change in the short term forecast trends. Deep/sharp upper trough sweeps through tonight into early Sunday. Instability remains marginal but moderate dynamics and strong shear continue the potential for damaging winds and even an isolated brief tornado as the main line of convection moves through late this afternoon and through the evening. Although chances for severe weather remain highest across the southern and western portions of the forecast area, some potential persists until the line is exiting the forecast area late in the evening or early Sunday morning. Rainfall totals between one and two inches are still expected along and north of the I-85 corridor. This is not likely to result in widespread flooding, but isolated flooding cannot be ruled out. Still expecting some mixing with or change to snow in the isolated to scattered showers across the far north early Sunday as the cold air spills in behind the cold front. Any amounts would be expected to remain light and the relatively warm, wet ground would further limit the potential for anything but trace amounts of accumulations. Wind speeds already starting to ramp up, but are expected to remain generally below advisory levels in the warm sector ahead of the system. However still seeing at least periods of wind speeds at or above 20 mph with some gusts around 35 mph likely across the area Sunday. A Wind Advisory will be in effect after midnight tonight through the day Sunday. 20 LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/... No big changes were made to the long term. Deep troughing will affect the forecast area much of the time. The next system is on track for mid week...Wednesday into Thursday. Another wave crossing the TN Valley after that may cause light snow across the far north for Thursday night. Friday night is looking drier on both GFS/ECMWF so have cut back pops for the far north Friday night. Another deep low expected for the end of the period...although with placement differences between models. Previous discussion is included below. 41 AVIATION... 00Z Update... Band of heavy showers w/ embedded thunder will continue moving east and should clear all TAF sites by 03-04z. Seeing gusts 35-40kts around KCSG as the worst moved through so will maintain higher wind gusts as heavier rain bands (and TS) move by. Abrupt shift to the winds will occur btwn 05-07z across the area as cold front pushes across. Precip ends but low MVFR clouds will likely persist into the early morning hours. NW winds will increase, gusting 20-30kts. Any MVFR cigs should erode by 16-18z. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Medium on ceilings this evening. High all other elements.

Showers and embedded thunderstorms will continue moving across north and central Georgis this evening. Brief strong wind gusts along with heavy rain and occasional cloud to ground lightning will be the primary threats. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out, mainly between Columbus and Macon, through 9 PM this evening. Overnight, behind a strong cold front, gusty northwest winds 20 to 30 MPH will develop and continue into Sunday morning. Higher gusts to 40 MPH will be possible, mainly over the mountains of north Georgia. A Wind Advisory is in effect late tonight through Sunday. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday... Light snow showers are possible in parts of far north Georgia on Sunday morning as cold air is ushered in behind the system. Little to no accumulation is expected. Even a few flurries could be seen as far south as the Atlanta metro area, but should not have an impact. Conditions will be windy Sunday with gusts up to 30 mph out of the northwest, making it feel even colder. Monday morning could have wind chill values in the single digits for the northern mountains, which could warrant an advisory in future updates over the weekend. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested but spotters are encouraged to submit reports of severe weather through the web by going to weather.gov/atlanta.
