.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 749 AM EDT Tue Jun 18 2019/

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 330 AM EDT Tue Jun 18 2019/

SHORT TERM /Today through Wednesday/...
Southerly low level flow riding up and over boundary over North GA
continues to generate periods of showers and embedded
thunderstorms. Strong shortwave will be moving out of the
Mississippi Valley later this morning and moving into the local
area through the afternoon hours. Depending upon how much low
clouds we get this morning will dictate the amount of instability
we can get prior to shortwave arrival.

As of now, the models indicate only modest values of
instability...remaining below 1500 J/KG in general although SE
sections of the forecast area may go higher. Regardless, with the
aid of shortwave, should see likely pops over most all of the
area. Although some strong storms cannot be ruled out, feel heavy
rainfall may be the bigger concern with this system, given the
limited instability but high deep layer moisture content.

Shortwave will be east of the area by the overnight hours with
some drier air working in. Will still keep some low end pops in as
some embedded followup shortwaves move through but overall,
activity should be on the wane. For Wed, we go from todays
precipitable water values in excess of 2 inches to less than 1.5.
Instability will be increasing and strong shortwave will be moving
through Alabama, but arrival for local area should be late enough
that we will only realize mid range chance pops for Wed afternoon.
Abundant cloud cover will keep temps in check with low to mid 80s
for the North but still getting to the 90s degree mark for Central
GA.

Deese

LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Monday/...
A short wave will be approaching Wednesday night and
move across the area on Thursday and will help to enhance
showers and storms in an already moist and unstable airmass.

After Thursday, an upper level ridge builds but the airmass
stays moist and unstable with highly diurnal scattered showers
and storms expected through Sunday.

On Monday, a short wave moves to the area that will help to enhance
showers and storms, especially for n GA.

For the most part, temperatures will run within several of normal
and favor above normal through the long term period.
