Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
300 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2019

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...

An unstable airmass across the area has allowed for the development
of showers and thunderstorms as well as SPC issuing a severe thunder
storm watch across many central GA counties south of ATL/AHN until 23Z.
The main hazard will be damaging winds.

Otherwise, an upper level low pressure system over the mid U.S. will
drift toward the TN valley through the short term period allowing
for SSW flow aloft and deep moisture to continue over the area.
Another surge of deep moisture is expected later tonight and Saturday
and this will allow for numerous to occasional showers and storms
across the area.

Greatest Rainfall amounts continue to be expected over north GA
with 1.5 to 3 inches expected through Saturday night with the
greatest amounts favoring the ne mountains. These amounts are over
a 36-42 hour period. Conditions will be monitored for a possible
flash flood watch in the future.

Forecast low temperatures are running about 5-10 degrees
above normal across much of the area tonight and similar for
Saturday night. Forecast high temperatures are running
about 2-7 degrees below normal on Saturday.

Overall confidence is medium.

BDL

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/...

No big changes made to the long term. Overall pattern still the same
with the upper closed low drifting eastward over the southeast
states and becoming a broad trough. Likely or higher pops still look
reasonable across much of the area. Surface boundary seems to stall
across GA for the first of the week. Pops taper off late Wednesday
into Thursday as the upper wave moves northeast along the Atlantic
seaboard. At this time...Friday is shaping up to be dry. Rainfall
totals for the period through Wednesday still range from around
three to six inches. Enhanced easterly upslope flow over the weekend
could potentially put seven day amounts near seven inches in
portions of the northeast mountains.

/355 AM EDT Fri Jun 7 2019/...

LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/...

The long term starts with a cut-off mid-level low pressure system
centered in the western Ohio River Valley, which will be responsible
for hammering the forecast area with round after round of rain in
the short term. Further north, a mid-level ridge with a descent
amplitude will have it's axis situated over the Great Lakes region.
Usually this Rex Blocking pattern would persist for longer, however,
a digging longwave trough from the front range of Northern U.S.
Rockies will push into the Northern Plains and Midwest, and sweep up
the cut-off low Sunday through Monday. As this occurs, we'll
continue to be inundated with rain at least through Monday night.

As the trough kicks through, it'll help organize the surface low
pressure and wrap it up towards the northeast, leaving a frontal
boundary behind separating a surface high pressure that will follow
the trough, and the warm tropical Gulf coast airmass. The location
of the stationary front will determine where the rain chances will
be focused and there's currently a discrepancy between some mid-range
model runs on if it will set up through our CWA and provide even
more rain to the area Tuesday and Wednesday or if we can get a break
with the frontal boundary stalling closer to the coastline.
