Area Forecast Discussion...Updated for Aviation
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
630 AM EST Fri Jan 25 2019

.SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/...

A broad upper trough dominates the southeast through the short term.
A reinforcing dry front crosses the forecast area today and will
keep cold temperatures and northwest winds over north and central
GA. Temperatures should range in the 20s area wide tonight. Another
short wave moves through the OH Valley Saturday with a trailing weak
front into north GA. This looks like it should produce only some
cloudiness for north GA.

41

.LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/...

Forecast area remains under the general influence of the persistent
long wave trough pattern that has been locked in over the eastern
half of the continent recently. Medium range models show a general
retreat to the north of the coldest air associated with this pattern
through the weekend into the beginning of next week as the long wave
trough flattens somewhat. Fast-moving short wave sweeps through the
bottom of the trough Sunday, but dry air in place keeps any small
chance for precipitation confined to the far north with very light
qpf amounts. Long wave trough deepens again as a strong short wave
digs into the upper midwest driving another strong cold front through
the region Tuesday. Big question with this system is whether the
cold air will spill into the state before the better precipitation
shifts east. Will likely see some mixing or changing over to snow on
the back side of the system, but confidence remains low at this time.
Strong cold advection once again immediately behind this system, but
temperatures begin moderating back toward normal as we head into the
end of the work week.
