Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
326 PM EDT Mon Sep 9 2019
.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/...
A weak front remains in the vicinity of Columbus to Macon.
Thunderstorms were developing this afternoon in that area...which
has CAPES of over 3000 and Lifted Index values near negative eight.
The remainder of the forecast area was still drier and more stable.
Pops should diminish during the evening and the overnight should be
dry but warm. The air mass becomes more unstable area wide on
Tuesday as moisture spreads back into GA. The upper ridge expands
northward keeping us in hot temperatures for Tuesday...however with
more cloudiness and a better chance for thunderstorms...heat
advisory criteria could be borderline. Will let the advisory for
this afternoon and evening continue...and will let the next shifts
decide if another Heat Advisory is needed for tomorrow.
41
.LONG TERM /Wednesday through Monday/...
No significant concerns in the long term period other than extreme
heat and isolated strong/svr pulse convection.
Upper ridge continues to hold strong over TN/AL/GA thru Friday in
12Z medium range model guidance. Temperatures and likely heat
indices will be much above normal while remaining below daily all-
time records. Thursday appears to be the hottest day through the
period as dryer air and abundant incoming solar radiation affects
much of the area. Would not surprise me if guidance blend temps are
a little low for Wed and esp Thursday. Only made a one degree
adjustment up to Thursday however.
Isolated pulse afternoon/evening convection Wed and Thur mainly
north will increase in coverage Friday then much more so over the
weekend as tropical low moves into the eastern and central Gulf and
coastal regions. 12Z EC starting to look like GFS and CMC guidance
pushing low further west towards LA and even upper TX coasts now,
but regardless, moisture feed will increase as upper ridge moves
east.
Not seeing any signs of tropical activity elsewhere in the southern
Atlantic basin until day 7 and beyond. Certainly worth keeping an
eye out there as we remain in very favorable forecast conditions.

Very warm temperatures combined with increasing humidity will lead to heat index values between 100 and 105 today for much of central and parts of north Georgia. A Heat Advisory is in effect from 1 PM to 8 PM today. Widely scattered thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, mainly south of a Columbus to Macon to Swainsboro line. If any storms develop, brief gusty winds, locally heavy rain, and cloud to ground lightning will be the primary threats. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday... Above normal temperatures will persist through at least mid week. The combination of persistent heat in the 90s coupled with higher humidity will make it feel very uncomfortable. Try to avoid overexposure to outside activities and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. A few afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon and evening, through Friday, but most areas will remain dry and very warm. By this weekend, there is the potential to see higher rain chances. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight. DJN
