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.
