Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 3:21 PM EDT, 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 321 PM EDT Mon Jun 24 2019 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/... Main concern is yet another round of strong/severe convection. As mentioned earlier, timing a bit delayed from previous events last weekend due to some extensive high/mid clouds. Even within these thick high clouds, convection firing in far northern GA as of this writing and expected to increase along zone of leftover moisture from earlier MCS in MS/AL currently extending from north GA to central AL. CAPE currently already at 3500 J/kg with steep lapse rates over WC GA with 0-6km bulk shear weak but still around 15-20kts. Damaging wind again main threat in this pattern with heavy rain also a concern. The good news is once the storms diminish this evening, we should have a mostly sunny day Tuesday with only a small chance of SHRA/TSRA over far western areas in the afternoon. SNELSON .LONG TERM /Wednesday through Monday/... Extended period begins with a weak zonal flow in the mid levels across the southern portion of the US as we transition out of the active pattern that has dominated the region since late last week. Wednesday and Thursday appear to be the lowest pop days of the extended as come ridging tries to develop and dry air in the mid levels suppresses storm development. By Late Thursday into the weekend, easterly flow returns along with moisture increase which will coincide with increased afternoon convection back to near normal levels. The ECMWF is a little more aggressive with cutting off a weak upper low over the mid MS valley by Friday with only a weak reflection on the GFS. Regardless, with no real suppression mechanism going into the weekend, climo to slightly above climo afternoon and evening pops will be possible for the remainder of the extended. Stellman && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... VFR conditions but expect sct SHRA/TSRA after 19Z at most airports. Should dissipate after 00Z. W winds will gust to 22kt this afternoon with stronger gusts possible in TSRA, decreasing after 00Z. VFR conditions with no SHRA/TSRA expected Tuesday. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
