Area forecast discussion, Dec 1, 3:20 AM EST, 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 320 AM EST Sun Dec 1 2019 .SHORT TERM /Today through Monday/... Line of showers and embedded thunderstorms continues to move through the area tonight and continues to be characterized by a high shear and low CAPE environment. In fact, surface based CAPE has been nearly non existent with this activity with the exception of a sliver moving into West Central GA. MUCAPE has been a different story and has been higher than model projections across the northern tier. This has allowed for some isolated robust cores to develop and likely leading to some small hail. Winds however have remained above the surface for the most part with no reports of severe wx at this time. With the surface based CAPE to the south, not out of the question to see an additional strong storm today but shear should be on the decrease later this morning. The entire line should be exiting the area by early afternoon with much drier conditions filtering in. Flow however, especially across Central GA remains largely zonal and cold air advection will remain limited. So low to mid 60s will be the rule from the Northern metro to all points southward today, even in the post frontal environment. Winds will be gusty this afternoon with values in excess of 20 mph quite common. Attention will then turn to the wintry potential for the far northern portions on Monday. Strong upper level closed low will move into the Mid Atlantic states and extending into the local area. Much will depend on whether we see mostly light snow showers or a mix across NE GA as far as accumulations go. Right now, going with a mix for a good portion of the period which would still yield a quarter of an inch or so in total accumulation. Should it be primarily snow however, a half inch or maybe even a little more on the highest peaks would be in the offing. look to be short of advisory criteria for now but will let day shift take a fresh look at things. Deese .LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/... The long term period begins with the exiting upper low and drying conditions. Will be quite cold for Mon day night with upper 20s for the far north and right around freezing for everyone else in the forecast area. Will see a clipper type system move through Tuesday night with lift enhanced across the northern half of the forecast area. At this time, it appears moisture will be too shallow for any precip from this system but this will need to be monitored closely with subsequent forecasts. Additional dry conditions anticipated in the wake of the Clipper system and should persist through Thu night. A southern stream upper level system will then develop and move across the Tennessee Valley for Friday, Surface low reflection over the lower Mississippi Valley will result in deep layer moisture advecting northward out of the Gulf. Will carry likely pops for the north and west portions for Friday afternoon. At this time, instability appears limited enough to warrant just SHRA for now and no TS. A third system looks to affect the area late in the period with more instability present as surface low tracks well north into the Northern Plains states. Will carry likely pops with this system as well but also include Isolated TS for now. Deese && .AVIATION... 06Z UPDATE... Line of SHRA and embedded TSRA continues to move through the terminals. This will eventually lead to cigs dropping to MVFR with even some indications of IFR possible although will not carry in the current set. Clearing conditions expected later this morning but winds will continue to increase. Gusts in excess of 20 kts will be common at all sites. //ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE... High on all elements.
